The operator's problem: a Patreon teaser is a pointer, and its card showed the
censored crop plus a text link while the content it pointed at sat on another
card. The fix is a REFERENCE, not an absorption: "the nested items on the
unified post are a duplicate or reference of existing content". Nothing is
written. Discord posts keep their own rows, dates and places in the feed.
- post_unification: for each teaser with a linked association, the drop's
images and text, plus its variant family: Discord images sharing the
seed's gated LEADING working name, or a phash near-duplicate, within a
window of the teaser. One hop only, oldest first.
- Measured on artist 8 before writing it: of 121 message pairs 2-60 days
apart that share a gated token, 106 share the leading name and all read
as real families. Of the 15 sharing only a trailing word, 14 are sibling
pieces and one is a plain collision (`bottom`, 56 days). The family cap
is 8, not the pairing cap of 6, because `tentacooler` and `0-k1` (6 posts
each) are real families.
- The feed drops a linked drop's own card only within discord_link_fold_hours
of its teaser (default 24): "only hidden from the post view they're posted
the same day". Older referenced posts stay where they landed.
- post_association.linked_by records whether FC or a person made the link,
so the card can say so. Undo is the existing dismiss.
- `image0` (gallery-dl's fallback name) becomes a stopword.
