Research direction
Start at the Devvit Post object definition and trace how Reddit API fields are exposed on it. Confirm the existing upvote_ratio source and the naming convention for optional fields; done when upvoteRatio?: number is available on Post and the relevant type or API checks pass.

Description
Please expose the existing Reddit API upvote_ratio field on the Devvit Post object as upvoteRatio?: number field. This is increasingly important after Reddit’s May 28, 2026 r/modnews announcement, “Protecting communities from scrapers and platform abuse,” which deprecates unauthenticated .json access and directs developers toward Devvit.

- HTTP access to Reddit API endpoints through Devvit is restricted
- OAuth access through oauth.reddit.com does not appear to be supported from inside Devvit
This leaves moderation apps without an official way to read vote ratio data, even though the underlying Reddit API appears to have it.
