comments.rs

1//! Reading what other people said on a pull request, and answering it.
2//!
3//! This is the only GraphQL in spar, and it is one read and one mutation.
4//! Everything else here is REST, which keeps the surface that can fail on an
5//! old `gh` or a locked down Enterprise token down to two calls.
6//!
7//! GraphQL is not a preference. REST has always served a pull request's inline
8//! comments and has never served whether the thread they sit in is resolved,
9//! and resolved is the whole point: it is the one signal that is authoritative,
10//! shared between machines, and free.
