Subject: [PATCH] feat(nadia): Implement participation notification in comment
 creation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

**Outcome:** done
**Changed:** devplacepy/content.py:363-384
**Verified by:** `python3 -m py_compile devplacepy/content.py` passed, `python3 -m pyflakes devplacepy/content.py` clean
**Findings:**
- `devplacepy/content.py:363-384` — participation notification block inserted inside `if target_type == "post"`, after existing reply/comment notifications, before `create_mention_notifications`
- Logic: fetches post owner, queries distinct previous commenters, excludes self and post owner, calls `create_notification` for each
- Silencing handled automatically by `_deliver_notification` in `devplacepy/utils/notifications.py:103`
- `NOTIFICATION_TYPES` at `devplacepy/database/notifications.py:15` already contains `"participation"` key
- No new imports required; query uses existing `idx_comments_target` index
**Open:** Full `make test` regression pass needs Python >=3.12 environment
**Confidence:** high — compile and pyflakes both pass; minimal bounded addition following existing notification pattern; all preconditions verified before editing
