[Resolver] [Enhancement] Agent localization for review comments

[neubig]

Current

Openhands resolver updates a PR branch based on unresolved review comments. Inline review comments inherently localize to a specific code file. Openhands' agents don't utilize this context and spend time localizing to which file the comments apply to.

Enhancement

Perhaps the user can have an indicator that forces openhands to start making changes from a specific file? Possible solution may look like the following -

1. Initialize the workspace
2. Navigate to the directory which contains the code file
3. Start a code agent with context indicating that it must start work within a specific file in the current directory

Possible benefits

• reliability
• lowered cost
• faster resolution time (especially when comments have smaller scopes)

Impact

Enables interactive/iterative coding for users. Not quite as fast as cursor but the advantage is that PR review comments are self documenting while retaining the ability to perform rapid iterations (especially if working within one specific file)
