Description

  • rename findComments -> findNextComments
  • add findPreviousComments
  • change findSiblings to check comment.parentId instead of comment.level

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing `findComments` and `findSiblings` functions, understand how comment level is used, then refactor to use parentId, rename `findComments` to `findNextComments`, and add `findPreviousComments`.
