// GetApprovedCommentsByArticleSlug returns the reader comments shown under an
// article. Pingbacks and trackbacks are excluded: WordPress stored them in the
// same table, but they are automated link notifications rather than anything a
// reader wrote, and on the imported data they are almost entirely SEO spam.
// This matches the predicate adminCommentConditions already applies, which is
// what left the public endpoint as the one place they still surfaced. Rows stay
// in the table; nothing renders them. A NULL or empty type means a comment --
// that is what WordPress wrote for ordinary rows.
