    The viewer opened on a list of reels (the profile's Reels tab): the reels it shows, the tapped one's index and — when the caller knows them — the session values of the viewer it opens. Its first page is that list — from the tapped reel forward, the feed swiping forward only — and no stream request goes out.

    The chaining is the viewer session's, one value for the whole viewer, not a copy per entry: the two session ids belong to the session the viewer begins, and the per-reel facts are derived where they are needed (the seed is the tapped reel's container id, the positions its index in the list). A caller that declares no session ids gets the viewer's own minted ones, so the like and the comment always name a session the app began (chaining_session_id is never null) — the app sends it on every like and every comment.
