Description

Request

Please support line-level review progress within a PR diff.

Reasoning

For large changed files, file-level viewed/unviewed is too coarse. I often review a file in multiple passes and want a way to distinguish the lines I already reviewed from the lines I still need to look at.

Possible behavior
  • mark selected lines or ranges as reviewed
  • visually de-emphasize already-reviewed lines
  • persist the state locally for the current PR / head SHA

A local-only feature would already be useful.

Contributor guide

No contributing guide indexed for this repository

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing file-level viewed/unviewed state in the PR diff UI and its persistence path. The issue needs a settled design for selecting ranges, displaying reviewed lines, and scoping stored state to a PR and head SHA before implementation can be considered done.
