Description
This applies to GitHub web app PR UX too - It baffles me that comments shown on the main timeline (which include snippets of the referenced diff) don't have a link to the full diff at that location! At least half the time the snippet shown lacks context required to understand or evaluate the comment.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in the /chat experience and trace how pull-request comments are rendered in the main timeline. Compare the displayed diff snippets with the referenced pull-request location. Done means a comment can take the reader to the full diff at the relevant location, including when the snippet lacks enough context.
