Review comment (suggestion):
I was not seeing this clearly when I originally reviewed...this is better IMO:
```suggestion
                    comment_keys = traverse_obj(view_model, (('commentKey', 'toolbarStateKey'), {str}))
                    if not comment_keys:
                        continue
```
