Even after the other 5 sub-issues in this epic land (slimmer signals table, cut/redesigned "Contributor next steps", terser Improvement row, distinguished BETA section, possible fix-suggestion codeblocks), the comment as a WHOLE hasn't had a real design pass -- it's grown feature-by-feature, each addition reasonable in isolation. Maintainer ask, verbatim: "something potentially more stylish/unique, and maybe a bit less text heavy / better designed."
Consider information hierarchy explicitly: what MUST be visible without expanding anything (the verdict, the blocking reasons) vs. what's fine behind a collapsible for someone who wants detail.
GitHub markdown constraints apply (no custom CSS/JS -- this renders in a plain GitHub comment): work within <details>, tables, headers, emoji, and markdown formatting only.
Must stay within this codebase's existing public-safety constraints (sanitizePublicComment, forbidden-term guards) -- a visual redesign must not accidentally leak private wording through new formatting.
Deliverables
2-3 concrete full-comment mockups (real markdown, rendered) showing meaningfully different visual directions -- not just "make it prettier" in the abstract.
A specific list of what changes (structure, ordering, always-visible vs. collapsed) and why, tied back to the earlier sub-issues' findings.
Implementation of whichever direction the maintainer picks, with full test coverage and byte-identity preserved for any repo that hasn't opted into anything new.
Expected outcome
A review comment that reads as a deliberately-designed product surface, not an accretion of independently-shipped features -- shorter, clearer, and visually distinctive.
Open questions for the maintainer
This is the most subjective sub-issue in the epic -- present real alternatives with actual rendered examples, don't just describe a vision and implement it unilaterally.
Part of #5095.
