Description
This would be helpful for automated code review based on diffs.
It's not entirely straightforward, as the diff could end in the middle of a block, leading to spurious errors. These could either be automatically ignored, or the file checked until all current blocks are exited.

Research direction
Start by locating the repository’s single Python implementation file and reviewing how it currently selects lines to check. Define the range interface and behavior for diffs ending inside a block, then add coverage showing that selected ranges avoid spurious errors and run the existing test suite.
