P7: thread backfill reads conversation containers and asks with If-None-Match
Build / Build (push) Failing after 7m52s

The FetchReplies job reads a thread's FEP-171b contextHistory before its FEP-7888 context: the posts each Add (or
Forte's plain Create) brought in, read from their own servers. A thread collection read whole keeps its ETag when the
document itself changes with every post (it counts them, or holds them all with no further page); the next read sends
it as If-None-Match and a 304 ends the job. The ETag is kept as sent, since NodeBB's has no quotes and the typed header
drops it. A context naming a post we hold (Forte's first post) is not fetched.

Checked in the pasture: Mastodon 4.7.3 answers the second read 304; NodeBB 4.16's unquoted ETag is kept (23/23 in its
scenario); a Forte thread completes through its replies.
