Edit a comment (author-only)
Only the comment's author may edit it — anyone else in the org gets 403 ("only the author can edit a comment"), an administrator included. Unlike deleteComment there is deliberately NO moderator override here: removing someone's words is moderation, rewriting them under their own name is not. Editing sets the comment's modified timestamp (null until first edit — the "(edited)" marker).

Notifies everyone following the issue, minus the author. That is a wider audience than creator and assignee: those two are seeded as followers when the issue is created, but so is anyone later mentioned or assigned, and anyone who followed it themselves. A follower who has unsubscribed, or who is no longer on the issue's team, is excluded. A body containing @[Name](mention:memberId) tokens for members who can reach this issue additionally notifies each of them ("mentioned" instead of the generic "commented" when they would otherwise get both) and adds them as a follower of the issue. Imported comments (createdAt/authorEmail set) do not notify or process mentions.
Delete a comment (author, or a workspace admin)
The comment's author may delete it, and so may a moderator — someone holding org.teams.manage, or leading the team the comment's issue belongs to. That is the path for removing a comment nobody else can, such as one carrying a pasted credential. Note the asymmetry with updateComment, which stays author-only with no override: an administrator may REMOVE someone's words but never rewrite them, because an edited comment still carries the original author's name. A moderator deletion is recorded in the audit log as `comment.moderated`; deleting your own is not, since that is ordinary use and would bury the entries that matter. Reach is bounded by the comment's issue, so a comment in another workspace is 404 for everyone including an admin — never 403, which would confirm the id names a real comment somewhere.
