Description

QueueProcessor::renderEvergreenMessage() has its own template rendering implementation that duplicates CrossPostDispatcher::renderTemplate() but is missing several placeholders that were added later:

Missing from evergreen rendering:

{social} -- platform-optimized social text
{short} -- short-form text for Twitter/Bluesky
{chat} -- chat platform text
{email_subject} -- email subject line
{email_body} -- email body
{url_raw} -- clean URL without UTM
{url_short} -- shortened URL via Bitly/Rebrandly/YOURLS
{platform} -- service type token (for UTM)
{random:...} -- caption rotation
UTM auto-tagging

Also missing:

Does not use per-service templates from #__mokosuitecross_templates -- only uses the component-level default template
Does not apply link shortening
Does not apply UTM tagging

Fix

renderEvergreenMessage() should call CrossPostDispatcher::buildArticleMeta() and CrossPostDispatcher::renderTemplate() instead of duplicating the logic. This would automatically get all current and future placeholders.

Impact

Severity: Medium -- evergreen re-shares produce degraded messages compared to initial cross-posts
Affected file: source/packages/com_mokosuitecross/src/Helper/QueueProcessor.php
Affected method: renderEvergreenMessage() (lines 488-575)
