Research direction

The issue does not name implementation files or tests. Start by locating the Jetpack Comments UI and its collapsed comment form behavior, then trace any existing settings or toggles. Done means a setting can keep the comment fields visible before the textarea is clicked, without breaking the current collapsed behavior.
