I removed `return true` here because we couldn't return early in this block. For the initial run case, `initialRun` would be true and `spawnedFromIssueBot` would be false. We need to check both issueMetaData and PRMetaData. 

But we could add some `return true` in `if (!spawnedFromIssueBot)` block.
