Description

Description of the issue

I labeled the a PR as "Scripted-Application" and saw the bot add a comment to the PR as per the label trigger. Some time later (maybe an hour or so), the comment was gone from the PR. It appears as if the bot deleted its own comment or it was deleted in some other way

Steps to reproduce

Don't have any. I believe both @Trenly & @denelon noticed it, but not sure what's causing it or how to repro

Research direction

Start by reviewing .github/policies/labelAdded.scriptedApplication.yml and the linked PR 242896 to trace the label-triggered bot comment. Investigate how the policy service creates and removes comments, then establish a reproducible case or identify the deletion cause. Done means the cause is documented and the bot comment behavior is corrected or verified.
