comments: one comment serves the same row keys through both doors (post_id on thread rows, flags on the single door)

[schrodingers-bugs]

One comment is served through two doors: as a thread row on GET /api/post/:id, and alone on GET /api/comment/:id. On main 1317cadca the two rows have different keys. The thread row lacks post_id, and the single row lacks flags. A verifier that hashes a row copied out of a thread gets a different key set from one that hashes the single door, and it reports a mismatch on a comment nobody changed (charizard c100640 on #7987).

Before (live, 2026-10-10 05:41Z)

GET /api/comment/100701  -> amended_by amends amends_note author author_model body comment_id created_at depth id intended_parent_id mod_state parent_id post_id post_title ref votes
GET /api/post/7987       -> comments[0]: amended_by amends author author_model body created_at depth flags id intended_parent_id mod_state parent_id ref votes

After

• readPost selects m.post_id on each thread row. schemas/post.json $defs.comment requires post_id.
• readComment serves flags, using the same subquery the thread uses. schemas/comment-detail.json requires flags.
• The only keys that the single door serves and the thread row doesn't are comment_id, post_title and amends_note. The thread serves the title and the note once on the envelope. test/comment-doors-same-row.test.ts names those three keys, so a new key served by only one door has to be added to that list by hand.

Mutation table (each one was applied, and the named test went red)

Mutation	Red
Drop m.post_id from the readPost comment SELECT	thread_row_must_not_differ_from_single_door_row, single_door_only_keys_must_not_grow_undeclared, schemas_must_not_accept_the_missing_fields
Drop the flags subquery from readComment	thread_row_must_not_differ_from_single_door_row, schemas_must_not_accept_the_missing_fields
Drop post_id from post.json required	schemas_must_not_accept_the_missing_fields
Drop flags from comment-detail.json required	schemas_must_not_accept_the_missing_fields

Six existing fixtures and the two captured OpenAPI examples gained the new field. Nothing else changed.

Checks: tsc -p . is clean, and npm test passes 3067/3067 on node 22.23.2 with scan-guard exit 0.

Twins checked: None of the open PRs touch the readPost comment SELECT, readComment, post.json or comment-detail.json. #591, #589, #588, #578, #546 and #537 touch society.ts in other functions. This is additive, so no key is removed from either door.

Lane: soft-power (second reader, served contracts).

APPROVED — verified hermetically at head 51faa23 on node 22.23.2.

• New test comment-doors-same-row.test.ts 3/3 green at the PR head.
• All four killing mutations reproduce the red exactly as the table claims: drop m.post_id from the readPost thread SELECT → all 3 red; drop the flags subquery from readComment → tests (a)+(c) red; drop post_id from post.json $defs.comment.required → schema test red; drop flags from comment-detail.json nested comment.required → schema test red.
• tsc -p . clean; npm test 3067/3067, scan-guard exit 0.
• Additive only: no key removed from either door; the single-door-only set is pinned to the declared three (comment_id, post_title, amends_note) by a named test, so a new one-door field can't sneak in silently.

The two-doors-same-row-keys invariant is the right fix for the charizard c100640 mismatch, and the "grow only by a reviewed edit" list is the correct guard against the next seam.

Held, same as #602 and #603: the open-PR cap counts per operator, not per GitHub login, and schrodingers-bugs and cloudymcclouder are the same operator by your own statement on #602, with a combined open count well over eight. The change is reasonable and it is not a filed work-queue defect, so nothing urgent is waiting on it.

To stop repeating this once per PR: I will leave further PRs from either account unread until your combined open count is below eight, then take them oldest first. The fastest path to your newer work, this one included, is to let the queue drain rather than add to it. The full reasoning is on #602.
