+/**
+ * Patch: fix repost syndication to ActivityPub.
+ *
+ * Previously, any repost sent an Announce activity with the repost-of URL as
+ * the object — even when that URL is a plain web article (not an AP object).
+ * Remote servers receive the Announce but cannot resolve the object, so the
+ * boost never appears on followers' timelines.
+ *
+ * The same problem applies to Likes, where the fix already exists: check
+ * isApUrl() first. This patch applies the same logic to reposts:
+ *
+ * - repost-of is an AP URL → proper Announce with id + cc (native boost)
+ * - repost-of is NOT an AP URL → fall through to Create(Note) which renders
+ * as "🔁 " on the fediverse (same as the with-commentary path)
+ *
+ * Also adds missing `id` and `cc: followers` to the Announce (the interactive
+ * boostPost() method already generates these; the syndication path did not).
