- Rewrite post_list/comment schema (PHP + JS) with the reference theme's
field set, order, defaults and dependencies; smilie, comment location
and quick-reply fields excluded
- Map PostDisplay::get_comment_display_settings() to the new keys without
legacy fallback: close_comments, comment_paginate_type (ajax_lists),
user_edit_comment master switch, WP comment_order for sorting
- Wire comment_box_hide visibility gate (signin / vip / vip_2 / auth)
- Drop dead comment settings (order/per_page/depth/avatar/hot threshold/
empty text/city), the dead post_close_comments field, and city readers
now fully owned by the IP-geo extension
- Add comment settings reference contract test
Remove duplicate comment, captcha, filing, and website-security configuration paths.
Move front submission verification to the captcha scene matrix and retire obsolete admin routes and components.
Move 288 types from global AKSRT_* + inc/classes manual requires into
namespace AKSRT\{Domain} under src/AKSRT/, wire composer.json psr-4,
and slim bootstrap to helpers/modules/hooks only. Split multi-class
widget/gateway files, update admin contract audit paths, and document
the layout in ADR/README.
Add aksrt_get_null / widget null helpers with null.svg, use them in
sidebar widgets, comments empty, and related posts; when PM is off show
post rewards entry on the single author bar.
Add REST comment/list + comment/submit HTML fragments, shared query
renderer for order/author/hottest, fix load-more policy and DOM
targets, and stop full-page scrapes for order/author/reload.
Apply comments_template_query_args for newest/hottest/author-only,
keep filter bar visible under empty author filters, and restyle order
tabs/buttons with Zibll-compatible classes.
