feat(comments): add list/edit/delete subcommands to tea comment (#1015)

## Why Today `tea comment` can only *add* a comment. Editing or deleting requires falling back to `tea api`. This came up while I was iterating on PRs in this same repo earlier today and had to correct a couple of comments by hand. Every comparable forge CLI (gh, glab, etc.) exposes these operations as first-class commands. ## What Restructures `tea comment` from a single-action command into a parent with four subcommands. The parent's default action remains the existing "add" behavior, so the historical shorthand keeps working. | Command | Purpose | |---|---| | `tea comment add <idx> [<body>]` | Add a comment (explicit subcommand) | | `tea comment list <idx>` | Tabular listing including comment IDs | | `tea comment edit <id> [<body>]` | Replace the body of one comment | | `tea comment delete <id> [<id>...]` | Delete one or more comments | | `tea comment <idx> [<body>]` | Unchanged — still routes to `add` | The `list` command exists specifically so users can discover the IDs that `edit` and `delete` accept. ## Backward compatibility The whole point of routing the parent's default `Action` through `add` is to preserve every existing invocation. `tea comment 1 "body"` still does what it did before. No flag or arg names change. ## Input forms (for add and edit) Same pattern as the original `tea comment`: 1. Positional body (`tea comment edit <id> "new body"`) — wins if present. 2. Piped stdin if no positional body is given. 3. External `$EDITOR` (pre-populated with the current body, on `edit`) if neither. This matches the stdin-handling fix in #1011 — positional body wins over a non-TTY stdin so the command doesn't hang in CI/subshells. ## Verification All four subcommands were exercised live against `https://gitea.com/dinsmoor/tea-testing` issue #1. The test artifacts and a summary log are visible on that issue right now. Specifically: - The annotated summary comment lists every operation tested and the comment IDs each one acted on. - Comments 1197162 (legacy add), 1197163 (subcommand add, later edited), 1197164 (stdin add) are still there to be inspected. - Comment 1197166 was created and then deleted; its absence from `tea comment list` output is evidence that delete works. ## New files - `cmd/comments/add.go` — extracted from the old `cmd/comment.go` - `cmd/comments/list.go` - `cmd/comments/edit.go` - `cmd/comments/delete.go` - `modules/print/comment.go` — adds `CommentsList` helper for the tabular output `cmd/comment.go` is rewritten as a thin parent that wires these together. ## Open questions for the reviewer - **Naming**: should the top-level command be `comments` (plural) or stay `comment` (singular)? I kept it singular with `comments` as an alias to match the existing user-visible name. - **Delete confirmation**: I did not add a confirmation prompt — `delete` just deletes. Some projects gate this behind `--yes` / interactive `[y/N]`. I'd rather follow whatever convention the maintainers prefer. - **Output format on list**: currently uses the existing `print.tableWithHeader` helper, matching `tea organizations list` etc. Other tea listings support `--output json` / `--output csv` via the shared `--output` flag, which works here automatically through the same helper. --- This patch was authored interactively with an AI assistant, driven and reviewed by a human (Tyler / @dinsmoor) every step. *pull request created by Tyler's lovingly wrangled demon machine <3* Reviewed-on: https://gitea.com/gitea/tea/pulls/1015 Reviewed-by: Lunny Xiao <xiaolunwen@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: dinsmoor <204368+dinsmoor@noreply.gitea.com> Co-committed-by: dinsmoor <204368+dinsmoor@noreply.gitea.com>
