The landing list carries a reply badge, the same .t-conv/#i-comment the ticket list uses; the count excludes state transitions, which are events rather than things anyone said.

The discussion renders as the thread it is: the forum's own forumPostRow, participant spectrum, hue edge, indentation and 'replying to' attribution. The threading walk moved out of the forum handler into threadShape so the two pages cannot drift.

A remark aimed at a post goes out via 'zit forum reply' — a landing thread is a forum thread of the same artifact kind, and that is the one verb that can point the I-card at something other than the opener. The target is checked against the record's own thread first.
