## Summary
Channel messages only offered Follow thread after receiving a reply. Add
Follow/Unfollow to delivered messages immediately, so users can opt into
future replies. Keep the same follow state when broadcast replies gain
replies of their own.
Threads you authored, participated in, or explicitly followed offer
Unfollow. A mention alone leaves Follow available. These controls apply
to channel timelines; DM notification behavior remains unchanged.
### Related issue
None found in existing issues or PRs.
### Testing
- Browser regressions cover keyboard follow/unfollow, persistence after
reload, first-reply unread and notification delivery, suppression after
unfollow, pending-message exclusion, broadcast reply transitions after
revealing buffered arrivals, and immediate unfollow for your own
messages.
- Additional regressions cover following after a mention and the absence
of Follow/Unfollow controls in DM timelines.
- Desktop unit tests, typecheck, lint, and production build pass.
- Browser notification routing is covered; native OS banner appearance
was not tested.
