+// ── patch-ap-search-url-resolve: resolve posts by URL when resolve=true ────────
+// Phanpy calls GET /api/v2/search?q=<post_url>&resolve=true&type=statuses before
+// liking/boosting a remote post. The search endpoint only did content-text regex
+// search — never found posts by URL → statuses:[] → "Failed to load post" error.
+// Fix: when resolve=true and query is a URL, look up ap_timeline by uid/url first.
+// Two targeted replacements:
+//   A) inject URL-resolve block before the content search (unique anchor: "results.statuses = items.map")
+//   B) change assignment to push so existing array stays intact
