The standalone reply page. Every “Reply” link points here today. After the redesign it is the fallback for no-JS and deep links; the inline dock (mockup 3) handles normal replies.

Arrangement
- The parent post becomes a light quote above the field instead of a full boxed card. Long parents clamp to 4 lines with “Show more”.
- It uses the same composer component as New post, minus Title, Tags and Event, so the two never drift apart.
Flow
- After posting, return to the thread scrolled to the new reply, highlighted briefly. This matches today’s
data-created-post-idbehavior. - An identity line and the first-post name step work the same as in mockup 4.
