Lets integrators render a preview of the post the user is commenting on without an additional request. Absent for non-Reddit platforms and when the upstream response is missing the post listing (deleted post, malformed response).

    - `accountId` string
    - `subreddit` string, nullable — (Reddit only) Subreddit name

      - `adId` string — Internal Zernio ad ID
      - `adCommentsUrl` string — Path to fetch the ad's comments (GET /v1/ads/{adId}/comments)

## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid request, or the postId belongs to a Meta ad creative / ad ID rather than an organic post (code USE_AD_COMMENTS_ENDPOINT — response includes `adId` and `adCommentsUrl`).
- `401` — Unauthorized
- `403` — Inbox addon required, or the connected account is not permitted to read this post on the platform (code platform_api_error, type platform_error)
- `429` — The connected account's upstream platform quota is exhausted. Reddit rate-limits per connected Reddit user (1000 requests per 10-minute window), and that budget is shared by every operation using that account. Retry after the window resets rather than retrying immediately; repeated calls while exhausted do not succeed and keep the budget spent.
- `502` — Upstream platform error (code platform_api_error, type platform_error)
