+/**
+ * reddit_thread_parse.ts — deterministic old.reddit thread → JSON extractor.
+ *
+ * WHY THIS EXISTS. Reach research needs the *shape* of a discussion (who said
+ * what, to whom, and how well it landed), not a screenshot. The public JSON
+ * endpoints are rate-limited and auth-gated; the rendered `old.reddit.com` HTML
+ * is not. So this reads that HTML and emits a stable record.
+ *
+ * DETERMINISTIC BY CONSTRUCTION. stdin → stdout. No network, no filesystem
+ * write, no clock, no environment read, no state. The same bytes in always
+ * produce the same bytes out, which is what makes the committed fixtures under
+ * `tests/fixtures/reddit-thread/` a real regression lock rather than a smoke
+ * test. Fetching is the CALLER's job (`curl … | tsx this-file`) — keeping the
+ * request outside this module is what keeps it testable offline.
+ *
+ * NESTING IS THE POINT — NOT A FLAT REGEX. old.reddit renders a reply as a
+ * `div.thing` inside its parent's `div.child > div.sitetable.listing`. Reply
+ * order and parent linkage ARE the signal being extracted, so `depth` and
+ * `parent_id` come from a real tag-stack walk over the container structure
+ * (`_scanDivs` → `_collectComments`). A regex over `data-fullname` would return
+ * the right ids in the wrong tree and quietly destroy the only thing worth
+ * reading. There is no DOM library in this package's runtime dependencies
+ * (`happy-dom` is dev-only, and adding a dep for this is not warranted), hence
+ * the hand-rolled scanner — which also skips `<script>` / `<style>` bodies and
+ * HTML comments so markup inside them cannot shift the depth count.
+ *
+ * NULL OVER GUESSES. A score-hidden comment yields `score: null`, never `0` —
+ * old.reddit omits the `span.score.unvoted` entirely for those, and reporting
+ * `0` would invent a downvoted comment that does not exist. Same for a missing
+ * or `[deleted]` author.
+ *
+ * HOSTILE INPUT BY DEFINITION. This parses third-party HTML that any anonymous
+ * user can write into. Every emitted string therefore passes `sanitize_text`
+ * (the shared retrieval floor) which strips bidi / zero-width / Unicode-Tag
+ * hidden-instruction vectors and control-char noise. Visible text is preserved
+ * verbatim as DATA — a comment body that reads like an instruction stays inert
+ * prose in a JSON string, and is never treated as one (untrusted-input floor).
+ *
+ * Entities are decoded to a FIXED POINT (bounded, `_ENTITY_PASSES`): measured
+ * reality on this content is that `&amp;#32;` survives a single unescape pass,
+ * so one pass would leak a literal `&#32;` into the output. Decoding runs
+ * BEFORE sanitizing, so a numeric escape cannot smuggle a hidden codepoint past
+ * the floor.
+ *
+ * Output shape (stdout, one JSON object):
+ *   { thread:    { title, author, score, permalink },
+ *     comments:  [ { id, author, score, depth, parent_id, body } ],
+ *     login_wall: boolean }
+ *
+ * Exit codes:
+ *   0 — parsed (including a legitimately empty / login-walled page).
+ *   3 — unusable input: nothing on stdin.
+ *
+ * Invocation:
+ *   curl -sSL … 'https://old.reddit.com/r/x/comments/ID/' \
+ *     | tsx src/scripts/_lib/reddit_thread_parse.ts

+Reads HTML on stdin, writes one JSON object on stdout:
+  { thread: { title, author, score, permalink },
+    comments: [ { id, author, score, depth, parent_id, body } ],
+    login_wall: boolean }
+
+Offline and deterministic: no request, no write, no clock. Fetching is the
+caller's job, which is what makes the committed fixtures a real regression lock.
+\`depth\` / \`parent_id\` come from container nesting, not a flat regex.
+A hidden score is \`null\`, never \`0\`. Every string passes the sanitize floor
+(bidi / zero-width / Unicode-Tag vectors stripped; visible text kept as DATA).
+
+Exit codes: 0 parsed (incl. an empty or login-walled page) · 3 empty stdin.
