Built a small tool to add a per-file comment column to era

[crufi]

Built a small python thing on top of eza: lsc, a lister tool supporting a short comment next to each file, in an aligned column to the right of the names. Non-lsc-specific flags are passed thru to eza, and comments are dropped if eza generates multiple columns of output.

lsc runs eza once with --oneline and annotates the result, so coloring, icons, and --classify indicators are preserved. The layout adapts to terminal width and clips with an ellipsis so no line ever wraps, and when nothing in a listing has a comment the output is byte-identical to plain eza.

Comments come from one of two places, an in-file # comment: (or // comment: etc.) magic line near the top of a text file, or a per-directory JSON manifest for everything else (including binaries). Both are ordinary file content, so they survive iCloud sync and rsync, which is why I went this way instead of xattrs (iCloud strips non-Apple xattrs).

It's a single Python script, no dependencies, MIT licensed. Would love any feedback or interest.
