FIX: Allow staff to view deleted topics in nested replies (#40134)

## Summary `NestedReplies::TreeLoader#op_post` loaded the OP via `topic.posts`,… whose default scope (from `Trashable`) excludes rows with `deleted_at` set. When a topic is trashed its OP is trashed too, so the lookup returned `nil` and the `/n/...` request crashed in `PostPreloader#prepare` with `undefined method 'user_id' for nil` — preventing staff from reaching the page to recover the topic. Fix: apply the existing visibility helper (which already unscopes `deleted_at`) on the OP query. The serializer's `deleted_post_placeholder` path preserves content for staff and hides it for everyone else, matching the flat topic view. - non-staff still 404 via the earlier guardian check on the topic itself, so this does not change their visibility - both the `show` and `context` endpoints share the same loader, so both paths are fixed ## Test plan - [x] `bin/rspec spec/requests/nested_topics_controller_spec.rb` (100 examples, 0 failures), with new cases for staff `show`, staff `context`, and non-staff 404 on a fully-deleted topic - [x] `bin/rspec spec/lib/nested_replies/ spec/services/nested_topic/` (127 examples, 0 failures) - [ ] Manually: as admin, delete a topic that uses nested replies, then navigate to `/n/<slug>/<id>` — page renders with the deleted OP placeholder and the admin menu's Recover Topic action works

Falco why when I click on topics it open them always at the bottom?

Falco

It opens topics at the last post you’ve read. It’s how Discourse works. You may want to visit some Discourse sites, and use the search here to become familiar with the software.
