Title: Reply focus
Kind: feature
Workflow: blocked
Created: 2026-10-21
Evidence: locally-verified
Estimate: 0.15
Aliases: 2026-10-21/F01, 2026-10-30/F17

Request:
Keep the reply entry field focused after posting, ready for another reply.

Done when:
Desktop immediately displays the pending reply and retains usable writing focus; phone reveals it with one-tap re-entry. Independent failure/retry preserves captured content and the newer draft, with no duplicate posts.

Notes:
Blocked awaiting physical phone acceptance and deployment. Locally verified desktop and automated phone flow on 2026-10-23; production behavior unverified.
Next action: complete the iPhone Safari/Firefox checklist in the reply continuation Step 4 summary, then deploy and verify consecutive sends and failure/retry in production. No source-comment reply is authorized.
Estimate 0.15 is inherited from October 21 feedback-only triage, not a source-informed projection. Recommended workflow: Railspike.

October 30 summary row F17: Focus the reply field after posting, including after redirect, so a one-line post can be continued immediately. Status there: See PF-20261021-F01 (docs/plans/production_feedback_register.md#pf-20261021-f01); broader reports not freshly verified (docs/plans/zenmemes_meta_feedback_2026-10-30_summary.md)
Related: PF-20261104-F71 asks for optimistic UI across all posting; kept separate because this item's completion checks are about replies.
