Messages: Push (repost) and Quote #31
Description
Product behaviour (/help/messages)
Two ways to re-share someone else's message:
- Push (repost): re-shares the original as-is, no added comment.
- Quote: re-shares the original with your own note added; a banner confirms the post will be public before sending.
Both pushed and quoted posts are always public.
API
POST /api/messages accepts pushedMessageId. The feed returns pushCount, pushedMessageId and a nested pushedMessage object for rendering the quoted original.
Models/Message.cs already has PushCount but nothing reads it, and pushedMessageId/pushedMessage are not modelled at all.
Acceptance criteria
-
Models/Message.csgainsPushedMessageIdandPushedMessage(self-referencing). -
PostMessageAsyncacceptspushedMessageId. - Push and Quote actions on each feed card in
Views/FeedView.xaml. - Quote opens the composer with the original attached; Push posts directly.
- Both force public visibility, and Quote shows the "this will be public" confirmation before sending.
- Cards render an embedded quoted original from
pushedMessage. -
pushCountis displayed alongsidedigCount.

Implemented in #152 — work continues in the PR from here.
Push and Quote both go through
POST /api/messageswith apushedMessageId; one field covers both, so the Push/Quote distinction is content-based. Both hard-codepubliclyVisible: true(a product rule, and a real difference here —defaultPubliclyVisibleisfalseon the test account), and the Quote composer's amber banner is the public-post confirmation. Cards render the embedded original from the nestedpushedMessage, which arrives complete with itsuser, so no second fetch is needed, andpushCountnow shows besidedigCount.One correction to the issue: an 80-row live sample had 5 pushed rows and 2 of them carry non-empty content — real Quotes, not only bare reposts — so the content-based split is exercised by live data. The write paths themselves are deliberately unexercised: posting from this account publishes publicly and syndicates onward.
