PeerTube puts canReply on a video whose comments wait for approval, and answers each comment with ApproveReply. A
persona's reply to such a post now waits (privapub.approval: pending), its Create going to the author alone; the
author's ApproveReply, signed by the author and naming the post answered, lets it out to its audience with
replyApproval, and RejectReply leaves it ours. A null canReply (PeerTube's open comments) says nothing; an empty one
refuses. The PeerTube scenario holds a comment for review and approves it through PeerTube's API (28 checks).

A remote post's canReply, canLike and canAnnounce (with the older always and approvalRequired) are kept beside
canQuote and judged for each persona: let in at once when the rule names the public, the persona, the author's
followers while it follows the author, or the accounts the author follows while the author follows it; asked first
when only the manual list names it; refused (422) otherwise. Asked first, a ReplyRequest, LikeRequest or
AnnounceRequest with the interaction as its instrument goes to the author alone, and the interaction waits
(privapub.approval: pending). The author's Accept brings an authorization, verified on the author's origin as naming the
interaction and the post; the reply then goes out with replyAuthorization, the boost with announceAuthorization, the
like with likeAuthorization. A Reject leaves the reply ours alone and takes a like or a boost back. As a third party, a
reply a policy does not let in at once is kept only with an authorization that verifies. Clients see the rules as
GoToSocial's interaction_policy.
Checked live against GoToSocial 0.22.1: the scenario's nine new checks pass (64 in all), a reply and a like approved
through its interaction requests and a boost refused.
