The reply (`REPLY_TO_CROSSPOST`) says the whole target was searched for the same URL and for crossposts and,
for image and video posts, adds one sentence from `phase3.describe_media_scan`: how many image (or video)
posts were compared and over what period (`REPLY_TO_CROSSPOST_IMAGE_CHECK` / `..._VIDEO_CHECK`), that the
newest ones from before the comment (the Phase 1 check) and the top posts were compared too, the same for a scan cut short
by Reddit's listing limit (`..._IMAGE_CHECK_PARTIAL` / `..._VIDEO_CHECK_PARTIAL`). A scan that
found no posts to compare adds no sentence. That sentence links to
`duplicate_detector.py` on GitHub (`DUPLICATE_DETECTOR_SOURCE_URL`), so keep that file readable.

## [Unreleased]

### Changed
- **Crosspost Reply Describes the Whole Repost Check:** the reply said only that the target was searched for the same URL and that the image (or video) posts made since the suggestion were compared, which left out most of what was checked. It now also says that the whole target was searched, crossposts of the post included ("other discussions"), and that the picture was also compared with the newest posts from before the suggestion (the check made when the comment was first seen) and with the target's top posts of the past year and of all time. Updated in every language.
