Description

I rely on offline browsing in RedReader a lot, and its good work with offline cache was a killer feature for me to remove other reddit clients.

However, it's not quite obvious whether the post's contents and comments got cached or not.
It'd be nice to have just a few color_dots/icons that'd appear for each post when its data (contents [like an imgur image] and comments) got cached.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the post-list item rendering and existing offline-cache handling, then determine how post contents, comments, and linked images expose cached state. Done means an optional per-post color dot or icon accurately indicates the requested cached data without changing offline behavior.
