Studio process this week — three iterations on the same composition. Trying to figure out which one carries the message clearest.



Social post composite in four layouts — text expansion, media carousel, engagement bar, and comment thread wired together.
Sixth ship in the 8-component social-posts-system arc. Third cross-folder import precedent in pro-ui (after media-carousel → video-player and comment-thread → expandable-text + engagement-bar) — declares all five Tier-1 social-posts siblings as registryDependencies; consumer install auto-pulls the family. Migration origin: kasder kas-social-front-v0 AdvancedPostCard.tsx (167 LOC) + PostEngagementPanel.tsx inline-panel UX. Component owns a stateful local mirror initialized from `post` on mount (R-Plan-1) — engagement bar runs always-controlled with mirror values, optimistic onLike/onBookmark dispatches mirror first then fires host handler, realtime engagementSubscribe deltas patch mirror + fire onSubscribeEngagementDelta callback. Inline panels (engagementMode default 'inline'): tap heart toggles like, tap count opens likers strip; tap comment toggles inline CommentThread (with composer); tap share opens searchable user list. `engagementMode='navigate'` deactivates panels for hosts that prefer page navigation. Heart-burst heuristic auto-wires when `post.media?.length > 0` AND `onLike` AND `variant ∈ {feed, detail}` (disableHeartBurst opts out). `getHref` double-duty: overlay-link in non-detail variants + Copy-link kebab item. Detail variant embeds <CommentThread> always (ignores engagementMode) with auto-default + `renderCommentSection` slot for full takeover.

Composes all five Tier-1 social primitives — expandable-text, media-carousel, engagement-bar, comment-thread, plus video-player transitively — and ships with kasder-style inline engagement panels (likes / comments / share) on by default.
Out of the box, every variant except detail wires kasder-style inline panels:
openLikersOnLike).+N pill).<CommentThread> with composer; scrollable, height configurable via inlineCommentsMaxHeight (default 24rem).shareSuggestions provided); local filter or async onShareSearch.Pass engagementMode="navigate" to deactivate the panels and revert to single-button like / onComment(id) navigation. The detail variant ignores engagementMode — its thread is always embedded.
Component captures post as initial state on mount; subsequent prop reference changes are ignored. RealtimeengagementSubscribe + optimistic onLike/onBookmarkmutate the internal mirror. To push external updates, use the imperative handle's reset(next):
const ref = useRef<PostCardHandle>(null);
useEffect(() => {
ref.current?.reset(externalPost);
}, [externalPost]);

/>kebabActions is full-takeover — it bypasses the role-aware default assembly entirely. For an additive moderator section on top of the default kebab, use moderatorActions below.
Moderation is orthogonal to viewerMode — a moderator is usually a viewer (or sometimes an owner) with extra capability. Opt the viewer in via permissions.canModerate: true (or the universal canPerformAction("moderate", post) predicate) AND supply the menu items via moderatorActions(post). The library renders them as a section between common items (Bookmark / Share / Copy link / Translate) and viewer-destructive items (Mute / Block / Report), with a divider above. Setting kebabActions still wins (full takeover).
