Replies whose post can't be found leave the Conversations view, and fewer go missingHEADmaster

A reply under "Couldn't find that note on the relays" told nobody anything (Adam, 2026-10-20), so once every lookup comes back without its post it isn't shown in a feed's Conversations view (its thread, notifications and the replier's own Replies tab keep it; a lookup that later finds the post brings it back).

The lookups miss less:
- A NIP-22 comment (kind 1111) names its parent's author at e-tag [3], not NIP-10's [4], so every comment's parent lost its author and the author's outbox went unasked. fiatjaf's comment on Kieran's routstr post lives on relay.snort.social (its hint), Kieran's pyramid.fiatjaf.com and ditto: none of ours.
- A reply that names no author asks the outboxes of the people it's addressed to (its p tags, up to three).
- The relay the reference itself names is asked even when this device has marked it sick.
- A post read in Following (or the feed in use) is found in that feed's disk cache too, so a Conversations view opened right after a reload doesn't take its replies for orphans.
