Successful Response

- CommentRead
  - `id` string, uuid, required
  - `body` string, required
  - `author` CommentAuthor, required
    - `user_id` string, uuid, required
    - `name` string — Display name; blank if unresolvable.
    - `email` string — Email; blank if unresolvable.
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
  - `reply_to` CommentQuote — The parent preview above a reply. Resolved SERVER-side, not by the client. The thread pages at DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE, so a reply routinely loads on a page its parent is not on — a client-side lookup would render a blank quote roughly whenever a thread got long.
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `author_name` string — Blank if unresolvable.
    - `body_excerpt` string — Plain text, markers stripped, <= 280 chars. Empty when `is_deleted` — there is nothing left to preview.
    - `is_deleted` boolean, required — The parent was soft-deleted. The reply survives; the client renders 'Original message deleted' in place of the excerpt.
  - `mentions` CommentMention[]
    - `user_id` string, uuid, required
    - `name` string — Falls back to the stored marker text.
    - `email` string
  - `like_count` integer
  - `liked_by_me` boolean
  - `can_edit` boolean, required — Whether THIS caller may edit it. Computed server-side because the app runtime's CurrentUser carries no user id, so the widget cannot decide ownership locally.
  - `can_delete` boolean, required — Whether THIS caller may delete it.
