Horbit Approved comments, threaded
Top-level comments are paged (page/limit, max 100); each carries its whole reply tree in replies. Pinned comments come first. bodyHtml is the comment escaped and split into <p class="hb-comment__paragraph">. Emails are never returned; avatarUrl is a Gravatar.

Leaves a comment POST
Returns the comment and its `status`: `approved` (live now) or `pending` (waiting for a moderator) — show the reader which. Spam is accepted silently and reported as `pending`. Pass `parentId` to reply. Render `website` as a hidden honeypot field and leave it empty. Fails with 403 when comments are closed on the post, 409 on a duplicate.
