Description

It would be great to have a feature so that in the "Comments" window if all comments for a file have been resolved to be able to fold that list.

This can be implemented in various ways: fold all resolved comment lists by default or have an option to filter, un/fold by status, etc. This would be great for PRs with hundreds of comments. Currently GitHub makes it really difficult to search for comments when a PR is very large (hundreds of files) + hundreds of comments.

Research direction

Start by locating the Comments window implementation and reading how files and comment resolution status are represented. Define and confirm one interaction for folding files whose comments are all resolved, then verify that large pull requests remain searchable and that unresolved comments stay visible.
