Description

The only killer feature available in modern graphical code editors seems to be missing in micro: code folding.
I understand the implementation would be non-trivial but the benefit of having such feature is really high.
Please consider adding it.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so start by mapping micro's editor and text-rendering architecture before proposing an implementation. The requested outcome is code-folding support, but the issue does not define folding behavior, controls, or acceptance criteria.
