spar/
comments.rs

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