API Reliability: Endpoint Warning System

• feat(detail): warn user to switch API endpoint when post/parent body fails to load.
• Introduced reusable EndpointWarning banner:
  • Displays current Hive API endpoint.

• Added “Change endpoint” action:
  • Navigates user to Settings (#/settings).

• Failure detection includes:
  • Missing post data
  • Empty post body
  • Parent content load failure
  • API fetch errors

• Prevented false positives:
  • Specifically handled depth-0 reply notifications correctly.

• Integrated across:
  • Incoming Replies
  • Outgoing Replies
  • Bookmarks
  • Notification detail pages

• Outcome:
  • Improved user awareness when API nodes return incomplete data
  • Reduced confusion caused by missing content

Reply Flow Enhancement: Inline Composer with Voting

• feat(detail): inline parent reply composer with vote and outside-click close.
• Added InlineReplyComposer:
  • Starts as “Reply to Hive account@author” button
  • Expands into full composer on interaction

• Integrated voting controls:
  • Vote slider
  • Upvote
  • Upvote & Reply
  • Post Reply

• Smart visibility logic:
  • Hides voting controls if user has already upvoted (based on active_votes)
  • Shows composer only for:
    • Parent posts
    • Grandparent posts
  • Not shown for:
    • Main post
    • Child replies

• UX improvements:
  • Outside-click closes composer
