Pin a comment on a theme's preview
Creates a comment. Authorship comes from the authenticated principal, so there is no author field to send.
Idempotent on client_id: repeating a request returns the stored comment
rather than creating a second one. template_id is required and must
belong to this theme — the rendered page carries the identity, so a
client that cannot supply it has not resolved what it is commenting on.
