Patrick Britton 3c4680bdd7 Initial commit: Complete threaded conversation system with inline replies
**Major Features Added:**
- **Inline Reply System**: Replace compose screen with inline reply boxes
- **Thread Navigation**: Parent/child navigation with jump functionality
- **Chain Flow UI**: Reply counts, expand/collapse animations, visual hierarchy
- **Enhanced Animations**: Smooth transitions, hover effects, micro-interactions

 **Frontend Changes:**
- **ThreadedCommentWidget**: Complete rewrite with animations and navigation
- **ThreadNode Model**: Added parent references and descendant counting
- **ThreadedConversationScreen**: Integrated navigation handlers
- **PostDetailScreen**: Replaced with threaded conversation view
- **ComposeScreen**: Added reply indicators and context
- **PostActions**: Fixed visibility checks for chain buttons

 **Backend Changes:**
- **API Route**: Added /posts/:id/thread endpoint
- **Post Repository**: Include allow_chain and visibility fields in feed
- **Thread Handler**: Support for fetching post chains

 **UI/UX Improvements:**
- **Reply Context**: Clear indication when replying to specific posts
- **Character Counting**: 500 character limit with live counter
- **Visual Hierarchy**: Depth-based indentation and styling
- **Smooth Animations**: SizeTransition, FadeTransition, hover states
- **Chain Navigation**: Parent/child buttons with visual feedback

 **Technical Enhancements:**
- **Animation Controllers**: Proper lifecycle management
- **State Management**: Clean separation of concerns
- **Navigation Callbacks**: Reusable navigation system
- **Error Handling**: Graceful fallbacks and user feedback

This creates a Reddit-style threaded conversation experience with smooth
animations, inline replies, and intuitive navigation between posts in a chain.
