Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the discussion and issue comment linked from pull request #161, then trace the backend authentication path used when the extension posts. Determine how one user can post as another and define the request-level checks needed to prevent that impersonation. Done means extension posts cannot be attributed to an unintended user and the relevant regression is covered by a test.
