Making Jira Cloud comments internal by default with Forge

Atlassian's Forge platform doesn't let an app change the comment editor's default, so how do you make comments private by default? The pattern I used for Loomwise Private Comments:

• An avi:jira:commented:issue trigger fires on every new comment.
• If the comment has no visibility set, the app calls the comment update API with the project's configured role/group.
• Per-project settings live in Forge storage, edited from an admin page; an issue panel shows status.
• No egress, so it qualifies as "Runs on Atlassian".

Trade-off: there's a short window between posting and restriction, the same as any non-browser-extension approach. Comments that already have a visibility are left alone.

Comments from Jira's native comment box are restricted automatically, usually within a minute.
