Description

The document at https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/problem-matchers.md makes no mention of how to suppress warnings that occur in files not modified in a given PR. If this feature is not yet available, it should be made available (either on a per-matcher or, perhaps, a per-repository basis) and there should be documentation about how to accomplish this.

Research direction

Start with docs/problem-matchers.md and review its current description of warning annotations. Determine whether suppression for files outside a pull request's changes already exists; if not, clarify the requested per-matcher or per-repository behavior and document the supported outcome. There are no tests or implementation files named in the issue.
