Reports are threads, and every turn of one rings the desk's bell

A player answers the desk under its reply from their lobby, proven by
the seat the report was filed from; the lobby shows the exchange in
order and says whose word is pending. A new report, a player's answer,
and a desk reply each raise a Sentry issue on the keeper's phone — the
first two from the server, the last from the reply script itself,
straight to Sentry from the droplet. The Desktop digest lists the
answers, and the desk's rule reads a report as reopened when the last
word is the player's.
