+- **Description**: Set this option to true to enable the use of thread comments as feedback. Set this to 'update' to update an existing comment if one exists; the value 'true' will always delete an old comment and post a new one if necessary.
   - To use thread comments, the `GITHUB_TOKEN` (provided by Github to each repository) must be declared as an environment
     variable. See [Authenticating with the GITHUB_TOKEN](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/authentication-in-a-workflow)
 - Default: false
 - NOTE: If run on a private repository, then this feature is disabled because the GitHub REST API behaves differently for thread comments on a private repository.

+- **Description**: Set this option to true or false to enable or disable the use of a thread comment that basically says 'Looks Good To Me' (when all checks pass).
