The sidebar

The right sidebar lists every comment on the current note. Clicking a card scrolls the editor to its passage and flashes the highlight.

Comments are listed in document order, so the list mirrors the note, with open detached comments in a section at the bottom. The button beside the count switches to newest first, which is the order a review pass was written in.

Three chips sit under the count. All is everything. Open is the unresolved comments. Suggestions narrows to the comments carrying a proposed rewrite. An agent’s review pass adds a chip of its own beside them.

There is no setting to hide them. A resolved comment still highlights its passage in the note, and a list that disagreed with the text would be the harder thing to read. Open is there for the unresolved ones.

A commented passage carries a hairline underline and a † at the end of it that opens the comment. Resolved comments underline with a dotted rule, and a comment carrying an unapplied suggestion underlines in green.

Overlapping comments nest: each layer thickens the underline, and comments sharing an end position collapse into one marker with a count. It is legible to about three deep, and the marker opens the innermost.

Reading view shows none of this. Comments live in the editor.

A comment written from outside Obsidian is badged. Every comment from one review pass shares a run id, and that pass shows up as one chip, labeled with the model, with the run id and a count on its tooltip.

The chip has an × on it that dismisses the whole pass, with an undo notice rather than a confirmation. Undo puts each comment back where it was. A filter pinned to a run that has just been dismissed falls back to All.

Agent comments sit in document order among everything else, on the passages they are about.
