Research direction

Start by locating the TypeScript code that evaluates menu-item forUserType visibility for posts and comments. Trace how the existing user-type options are handled, then determine how post authors are identified in each context. Done means forUserType: "postAuthor" is accepted and only visible to the post author in both posts and comments, with coverage for those cases.

Description

wontfix

Right now, the only options for menu item visibility is via forUserType and the options are relatively limiting.

I would ideally like an option for forUserType: "postAuthor" to be available on both posts and comments because I can think of many situations where an OP-only menu item would be useful - such as for the OP to award reputation points in ReputatorBot.
