/// the abstract interface IApplicationUser. System.Text.Json
/// cannot materialise an interface without a polymorphic
/// converter, so the "load posts" call from PostIt crashed when
/// the server returned a post with a populated Author
/// object. The fix replaced IApplicationUser with a thin
/// concrete DTO, BlogPostAuthorDto, embedded directly in
/// BlogPostDto.Author.
///
///
///
/// These tests pin the wire shape: a JSON document with an
/// Author object must deserialise without throwing and
/// must round-trip the three fields PostIt exposes in the UI
/// (Id, UserName, Avatar). They are intentionally placed in
/// PostIt.Tests — the client-side assembly — so the
/// regression is caught at the deserialisation boundary, where
/// it actually manifested in production.
