#!/usr/bin/env node

/**
 * Hides a reply or detaches a quote post from the conversation component.
 *
 * For replies: adds the reply URI to the root post's threadgate hiddenReplies
 * ("hide reply for everyone" on bsky.app).
 *
 * For quote posts: adds the quote URI to the root post's postgate
 * detachedEmbeddingUris ("detach quote" on bsky.app).
 *
 * The script auto-detects whether the URL is a reply or quote post.
 *
 * Usage:
 *   npm run hide-reply <post-url>
 *
 * Examples:
 *   npm run hide-reply https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:.../post/...  (reply)
 *   npm run hide-reply https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:.../post/...  (quote)
 *
 * Requirements:
 *   - ATPROTO_HANDLE and ATPROTO_APP_PASSWORD in .env
