Integrating super-app extension discovery and configuration within source code management platform comments. Based on a triggering event associated with a context within a code repository, a super-app identifies a set of extensions available for execution against the context, and triggers execution of at least a subset of the set of extensions against the context. The super-app generates a super-app output that includes an output of having triggered the subset of extensions against the context, a listing of one or more of the set of extensions as being a library of available extensions to the super-app, and an indication of a comment-based syntax for configuring an extension to the super-app. The super-app posts that output as a comment on a comment feed. Based on user input received via a comment using the comment-based syntax, the super-app generates a modified super-app configuration associated with the code repository.

The estimation and visualization of a degree of change between a further edited state of code and a selected version of the code. For each of some counted added or deleted portions (e.g., code lines) of code, the system estimates that the added (or deleted) portion complies with a non-review characteristic. The added (or deleted) code lines that comply with a non-review characteristic are excluded from the estimation of the degree of change. Thus, the estimation excludes consideration of added or deleted portions that need no substantial review, while considering more substantial added or deleted portions in the estimations. The estimation is then visualize giving the developer or the reviewer a better idea of the scale of changes that has really been made since the selected version of the code.
