– Admin bar toggle to enable/disable annotation mode for logged-in users.
– Front-end badges showing counts and a side panel UI for reading/posting comments.
– @username tagging with autocomplete and email/admin-notice notifications.
– REST API endpoints used by the front-end JavaScript.
– @john@doe.com tagging for outside collaborators, they get a magic link
