+/**
+ * Patch @rmdes/indiekit-endpoint-webmention-sender webmention.js to:
+ *
+ * Scope link extraction to the post content area only (.e-content inside
+ * .h-entry, or <article>, or <main>) when processing a full page.
+ * Without this, links from the sidebar, navigation, and footer are included
+ * because the live-fetch patch fetches the full rendered page HTML.
+ *
+ * Falls back to the whole document when no content container is found
+ * (e.g. when processing a stored post body fragment rather than a full page).
