Description
It's weird that you only see lines connecting replies if there's a fork in the convo. I suspect we need lines connecting consecutive replies too. Also, the root should be aligned with its replies, whereas currently they are indented, which confuses the model.

Research direction
Start by locating the vertical threading view and inspect how reply connections and indentation are rendered. Compare conversations with and without forks. Done means consecutive replies have connecting lines and the root is aligned with its replies.
