"""Pure JSON -> item mapping for the Reddit scraper.
Framework-agnostic and I/O-free so it can be unit-tested against captured
fixtures. Every function takes raw Reddit ``.json`` data and returns plain
dicts / lists no network, no proxy, no ``scrapedAt`` stamp (the orchestrator
adds the timestamp so these stay deterministic under fixture tests).
Reddit's ``.json`` wraps everything in "things" (``{"kind": "t3", "data":
{...}}``) and "Listings" (``{"kind": "Listing", "data": {"children": [...],
"after": ...}}``). ``t3`` = post, ``t1`` = comment, ``more`` = a truncated-reply
stub (out of scope v1 treated as a branch stop).
