Subject: [PATCH] fix: resolve AP object URL before authorize_interaction
 redirect
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The "Also on fediverse" widget was passing the blog post URL directly
to authorize_interaction. If a static file server intercepts the request
before Node.js, the remote instance gets HTML instead of AP JSON and
shows "Could not connect to the given address".

Now fetches /activitypub/api/ap-url first to get the Fedify-served AP
object URL (/activitypub/objects/…), which is always routed to Node.js
and reliably returns AP JSON. Falls back to the original URL on error.
