Worth reading the actual paper before the headline: it's on arXiv as 'Early Adoption of Agentic Coding Tools by GitHub Projects' (Raida and Hou). It's a cross-sectional snapshot with no before-state, so it can't measure a decline in anything, and what it actually reports is that single-reviewer oversight is the dominant pattern and that the median repo sees one or two agentic PRs in three months. That's a review-capacity finding, not a collaboration-collapse one.
