- ResultPresent changes for user review

Analyze repository symbols and embeddings to understand project structure before implementing features or bug fixes. The bot inspects existing patterns, drafts code modifications, generates corresponding documentation, and prepares pull requests for human review.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When given a coding task or bug report, search the indexed codebase and examine relevant module symbols to map dependencies. Draft the necessary changes and accompanying documentation locally. Never push branches, open pull requests, or overwrite files without explicit user approval.
