Use commit comparisons only to select files changed since the last review, then use their current pull request patches. Fall back to the full pull request diff when incremental comparison is unsafe. Validate review identity and hunk locations before creating comments. Propagate handler failures to GitHub Actions.

Summary
Why
After a rebase or force-push, comparing the previous reviewed commit with the new head can produce a diverged, repository-wide diff that no longer matches the pull request. Using those patches can omit relevant changes or create invalid inline comment positions. Review failures could also leave the workflow with a successful conclusion.
