Edit published post
Edits a post that has ALREADY been published, natively on the platform. Honest per-platform support: Facebook page posts work today; X’s edit API is paid-tier-only and Reddit’s needs a re-auth scope - those report unsupported per platform instead of failing the call. The SmartlyQ record keeps its original text for multi-platform posts. Requires scope social:write.
