Description
## Describe the Feature
Being able to hide comments matching a regex, as an alternative to `delete-comment-regex` (or `edit-comment-regex` added in #26).
## Expected Behavior
Hiding existing comments, for example by using a `hide-comment-regex`.
## Use Case
Sometimes keeping old comments might make sense for historical/compliance reasons.
## Describe Ideal Solution
Not sure, open for thoughts.
## Alternatives Considered
1. `delete-comment-regex`
2. `edit-comment-regex` (added in #26)
But they don't keep the history in an equally accessible way.
## Additional Context

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the existing `delete-comment-regex` and `edit-comment-regex` behavior, then review the GitHub API support for hiding comments. Define the command interface and visibility semantics, including permissions and historical access; done means matching existing comments can be hidden without deleting or editing them.
