tmp

Implement time-based filtering for GitHub comments and reviews to prevent
malicious actors from editing existing comments after Claude is triggered
to inject harmful content.

Changes:
- Add updatedAt and lastEditedAt fields to GraphQL queries
- Update GitHubComment and GitHubReview types with timestamp fields
- Implement filterCommentsToTriggerTime() and filterReviewsToTriggerTime()
- Add extractTriggerTimestamp() to extract trigger time from webhooks
- Update tag and review modes to pass trigger timestamp to data fetcher

Security benefits:
- Prevents comment injection attacks via post-trigger edits
- Maintains chronological integrity of conversation context
- Ensures only comments in their final state before trigger are processed
- Backward compatible with graceful degradation
