The object of this task is to implement the Post.replies() method, as described in the design. Unlike the implementation of Board.topics(), this method will not have any parameters, making it suitable as a property. This method will load the list of reply posts from the cached internal data, loading it from APISite.view_post() if necessary, and create new Post objects using the called object's page and the UUIDs pulled from the cache. The contents of these posts will not be loaded at this point. The Post objects will be cached and returned to the caller.

Since view-topic and view-topiclist both return entire topics (with all posts), it should preferably reuse this if available rather than loading each post individually with view-post. That approach requires T100244: view-topiclist and view-topic should support wikitext, to return wikitext.

Sorry, just saw that you already addressed the caching issue.
The cache can presumably keep track of which variants and content are loaded (if any) (e.g. if you post as html, then request as wikitext, it won't be cached).
