Quoted commits get the picture

A quoted commit now shows its own photos, link card, and YouTube or Spotify preview inside the quote. The media is read-only, so the quote stays a single link.

Quote a commit that is mostly a photo, and until now you got a card with a name, a timestamp, and a suspicious amount of white space. Quote it today and the photo is there inside the quote, under the text, followed by the link card or a YouTube thumbnail.

Credit goes to xHeaven, who taught a quote to carry the quoted commit's media. The server now loads the image list and link card alongside the quoted commit, so a feed full of quotes does not fire an extra query for each one. Images sit in the same grid as on the original card. A long body arrives already cut at 280 characters or 8 lines, fading out over the last two lines instead of hard-clipping mid-sentence.

One catch. The media in a quote is scenery. The play badge is a span rather than a button in there, the image is not a link to the photo viewer, and no player frame is ever built, so clicking either simply follows the quote to the original commit. You play the Spotify track or the YouTube clip on that page.
