bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5.5 30a263a47a feat: a teaser's card references the drop it announced and the piece's variants (4402, 4401)
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.

"""The unified post card — a teaser shows what it points at (#4402, #4401).
Milestone 388. A Patreon teaser is a POINTER: a cropped, censored fragment
whose job is to say "the full set is in Discord". Until this module the card
rendered the fragment and a text link, and the reader had to make the join FC
had already made.
Operator, 2026-09-24: *"the teaser from the patreon post doesn't show the items
that it's supposed to reference so I'm trying to unify the teaser post with the
content it's meant to draw attention to."*
## A reference, never an absorption
`discord_grouping` folds chat messages into a synthetic post by transferring
ownership (`absorbed_by_post_id`). That is the wrong primitive here, and the
operator said so directly: *"the nested items on the unified post are a
duplicate or reference of existing content. that's why they can show similar
items and not erase or invalidate the way the discord items landed."*
So nothing here writes. The Discord posts keep their own rows, dates and
places in the feed; the teaser's card DISPLAYS them. That is also what makes
reaching back for older variants safe at all: a wrong reference shows one
extra thumbnail in one place, where a wrong regrouping would move content.
## What a teaser references
1. The Discord drops a `linked` PostAssociation joins it to (#4392) — accepted
by the operator, or linked by FC on a conclusive name match.
2. The rest of that piece's VARIANT FAMILY (#4401): the wips, alts and censor
passes a creator trickles out under one working name, days or weeks apart.
Families are found by the creator's LEADING working name, not by any shared
token and not by image similarity — see `post_naming.leading_name` for the
measurement, and lesson #4400 for why a whole-image comparison between two
works by one artist cannot separate "same piece" from "same artist".

ONE hop from the seed, never transitive. Every measured family is one hop

what lets a family drift from `Year_20k` to whatever `Year_20k_Base`'s
