There is a good explanation of the edit process here: How do suggested edits work?

As Federico pointed out, there have been changes to the process since then: Approve as too minor

It appears that in this case, when the response was "Reject and Edit", that was recorded as a rejection by Community, and then the edit by the user that made the review. The "Reject" part means that the original edit does not appear in the revision history.

If a reviewer is going to keep most or all of the original changes, they should really choose "Improve and Edit". The "Reject" implies that the reviewer is going to make significant changes to the intent of the edit.

Since the original edit does not appear in the revision history, it appears that the reviewer marked the original edit as "not helpful."

But the guide above says that this should only show up as an "Edit" for the reviewer making the changes, but instead it shows up as "Reject and Edit". I'm not sure why that is.
