A community based topic aggregation platform built on atproto
feat(comments): complete Phase 2C metadata hydration
Add full user, community, and record metadata to comment query API responses.
Completes lexicon compliance for rich comment content including facets, embeds, and labels.
Changes to comment service:
1. **Batch User Hydration**
- Integrate GetByDIDs() for efficient author loading
- Collect all unique author DIDs from comment tree
- Single batch query prevents N+1 problem
- Populate AuthorView.Handle from users table
2. **Community Metadata Hydration**
- Fetch community for each post in response
- Populate community name with priority: DisplayName > Name > Handle > DID
- Construct avatar blob URL: {pds}/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did={did}&cid={cid}
- Graceful fallback if community not found
3. **Rich Text Deserialization**
- Deserialize contentFacets from JSONB (mentions, links, formatting)
- Deserialize embed from JSONB (images, quoted posts)
- Deserialize labels from JSONB (NSFW, spoilers, warnings)
- Populate both CommentView fields and complete record
- Graceful error handling (log warnings, don't fail requests)
4. **Complete Record Population**
- buildCommentRecord() now fully populates all fields
- Record includes: facets, embed, labels per lexicon
- Verbatim atProto record for full compatibility
API Response Enhancements:
- CommentView.ContentFacets: Rich text annotations
- CommentView.Embed: Embedded images or quoted posts
- CommentView.Record: Complete atProto record with all nested fields
- CommunityRef.Name: User-friendly community name
- CommunityRef.Avatar: Full blob URL for avatar image
- AuthorView.Handle: Correct handle from users table
Error Handling:
- All JSON parsing errors logged as warnings
- Requests succeed even if rich content parsing fails
- Missing users/communities handled gracefully
- Maintains API reliability with graceful degradation
Performance:
- Batch user loading prevents N+1 queries
- Single community query per response (acceptable for alpha)
- JSON deserialization happens in-memory (fast)
- No additional database queries for rich content
Lexicon Compliance:
- ✅ social.coves.community.comment.defs#commentView
- ✅ social.coves.community.post.get#authorView
- ✅ social.coves.community.post.get#communityRef
- ✅ All required fields populated, optional fields handled correctly
