And if there is a need for follow up, some variation of "we quite clearly are interested in you and value your time since we spend actual engineer hours walking through your code.
What would be disrespectful was if we ignored all your hard work and hired someone not half as good as you because they had more glowing reviews or more stars on their repos."
Obviously I'm no hiring manager, but often a bit of honesty goes a long way.

A bad employee in a small company (or organization of any type) can do a lot of damage. It is negligent to hire someone who hasn't proven they can do what they claim, and negligent for a manager to not verify they aren't doing the work they claim to be doing.
"Sorry about this but we've had some candidates passing others code as their own. So we've been asked to take all candidates through some code line by line. Such a pain but we have to do it unfortunately. Ill try and get through quickly. You dont mind do you?"
