Korean comments action for Nextcloud 34

Minimal custom app that adds 댓글 to each eligible Files row action menu and opens that node's comments UI. On Nextcloud 34 with Activity enabled, comments are integrated into sidebar tab activity; if Activity is disabled, the app falls back to tab comments.

Why these APIs

The installed Nextcloud 34.0.4 bundle uses @nextcloud/files 4.0.0. Its own Comments app implements the same flow with registerFileAction(), getSidebar(), sidebar.open(node, tabId), and sidebar.setActiveTab(tabId). The installed Activity app registers sidebar tab ID activity; Comments registers tab ID comments only when Activity integration is unavailable.

The PHP bootstrap listens for OCA\Files\Event\LoadAdditionalScriptsEvent, the supported event fired while Files is rendered, and loads the frontend with OCP\Util::addInitScript().

Build and automated checks

Use Node 24, matching the installed package engines:

npm ci
npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run build

The production entry is generated as js/korean_comments_action-main.mjs. Util::addInitScript(Application::APP_ID, 'main') resolves that app-prefixed asset.

Deployment commands (not run during this investigation)

Copy the app directory to /data/nextcloud/app/custom_apps/korean_comments_action, retaining appinfo/, lib/, and generated js/ (source/build metadata may also be retained), then run OCC in the Nextcloud PHP container as the web user:

php occ app:enable korean_comments_action

Disable/rollback with:

php occ app:disable korean_comments_action

Manual acceptance test

1. Open Files → Personal files, then open a file row's … menu. Confirm one 댓글 item appears and is not an inline icon.
2. Click 댓글. Confirm the details sidebar opens for that exact filename, the Activity tab is active, existing comments load, and the comment composer is visible.
3. On the same file, switch to another sidebar tab and click 댓글 again. Confirm it switches back to Activity without closing the sidebar.
4. With the sidebar still open, use 댓글 on another file. Confirm the sidebar header and comments belong to the second file.
5. Select multiple rows. Confirm the action is not offered. Confirm it is also absent for nodes outside the supported /files/<user> tree or with Permission.NONE.
6. Optional fallback check on a test instance: disable Activity while leaving Comments enabled, reload Files, and confirm 댓글 opens the standalone Comments tab.
