P2: The new /topics/{id}/comments row posts through Client.PostForm, but both this file's header ("API interactions use the HEY SDK") and AGENTS.md ("All API interactions must go through the HEY SDK... add it to the SDK") require SDK-typed operations, and this is the only PostForm call in the repo. The cited precedent (Collections, Publications) is the opposite: those form endpoints were added to the SDK as Collections().Create/Publications().Create. Add a Comments().Create operation to hey-sdk/go instead of working around it, matching the repo's rule that missing operations go into the SDK (require operator sign-off) rather than here.

This is the right reading of the rule, and it is the decision this PR is waiting on: /topics/{id}/comments has no JSON endpoint in HEY today, so a typed Comments().Create in hey-sdk/go would be wrapping the same HTML form post the CLI does here. Whether to accept a form-built operation for thread comments (in the SDK, then here) or wait for HEY to expose comments as JSON first is an operator/API call that is pending alongside the same question for stage threads. Until it lands I have rebased the branch onto main and kept it green rather than moving the call between repos.

`hey thread read` reads a whole thread, oldest entry first, however many pages HEY serves it in — within limits it states: a hundred pages past the first, two thousand entries, as many bodies, 64 MiB of content and two minutes in all. A thread that could only be read in part — a body HEY would not serve, a limit reached — is refused rather than passed off as whole; `--allow-partial` takes what was read, with a `notice` saying what is missing and each entry's `body_state` saying whether its body was `hydrated`, `bodyless` (HEY served none), `over_limit` or `failed`. `--count` and `--ids-only` read the entry index and no bodies, so only a truncated index can make them partial. `--markdown` writes the thread as one Markdown document — a heading per entry naming the sender, date and ID, then the body — which is the shape to hand an agent or a notes app. `hey attachment list` reads the bodies in every format, since that is where attachment metadata lives, and answers a partial thread the same way. `hey reply` answers the thread's latest entry and addresses the reply the way HEY does: it asks HEY for the reply's recipients — everyone that entry was addressed to, its sender moved onto the To line, and your own addresses, aliases and catch-alls excluded — falling back to computing them from the entry when that read is unavailable.

Email bodies come back as Markdown. `hey thread read` and the TUI render that Markdown for the terminal — headings, emphasis, lists, quotes, tables and code survive, and links keep their URLs and stay clickable where the terminal supports it. `--json` carries the same Markdown in `body`, so an agent reading a thread sees the structure a human sees rather than a flattened wall of text. `--html` still returns HEY's original HTML.
