https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/11485

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by tracing the mechanism that appends the Gitpod button to GitHub pull-request descriptions, then compare the linked pull requests (11481, 11491, 11486, and 11485) with a PR where the button appears. Done means new eligible PR descriptions consistently include the button.
