[Feature Request] Add Input Variable To Control PR Review Behavior

[SethAngell]

Product Area

The “Run Salesforce Code Analyzer” GitHub Action

Your Need or Problem

Currently, if I want to leverage the new num-sev{X}-violations-in-changed-files output variables I have to provide a github token with read access. Doing so leads to the action submitting a review for my PR.

I don't want the action to leave a review, I would simply like to know if there are violations in my changed files so that I can take actions against that in a following step. This is a pain point.

Your Desired Solution

I would like some sort of input variable that lets me disable the code review. This should default to false to ensure that no existing workflows are broken. This would allow me to make use of the newly introduced *in-chaged-files output variables without having a a review submitted via the action itself.

Something along the lines of:

disableReview:
  description: 'Prevents the action from submitting a review even if the github token is provided'
  required: false
  type: 'boolean'
  default: 'false'

@SethAngell currently the action runs on the PR raised and hence adds the review comment and has the output variables as well.
1- May I know the reason to specifically avoid the review comment on the PR? Because irrespective of the review comment we can take action on the output variables.
2- More generalized way would be where the Run Salesforce Code Analyzer GitHub Action is able to do git diff from the base branch and report the violations for it in case we want to do it even without a PR.
