Overview

Adds a --comments flag to ent show <ISSUE_ID> that limits comment output to the N most recent comments, similar to git log -n. Issues with long comment threads currently produce very long show output; this makes quick check-ins on recent discussion practical.

Changes

Single file: src/bin/ent/main.rs

Commands::Show gains a comments: Option field (#[arg(long)]). clap parses the value and rejects non-integers and negatives.
The show handler slices issue.comments to the last N entries and prints a truncation hint — (showing last N of M comments) — before the comments.

Limit comment output to the N most recent comments, like git log -n.
Header and description are always shown. Prints a hint
'(showing last N of M comments)' when truncation occurs (N in
1..M). N=0 shows no comments; N > total shows all with no hint;
omitting the flag preserves existing behavior.

This is a nitpick but i'd prefer if this argument (and the de-structured variable below) was named "--num-comments" (maybe with a short of "-n") to more clearly show what it does.
