Comments UI does not mount on article pages

[dohyeondk]

Bug description

On article pages with comments enabled, the comments section is rendered but the comments UI does not mount.

Environment

• Ghost: 6.37.0
• Theme: Casper 5.11.1
• Deployment: Docker Compose

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable comments on a Ghost site.
2. Visit an article page where comments should render.
3. Inspect the page after it finishes loading.

Expected behavior

The comments UI mounts automatically and renders either the existing comment thread or the zero-comments state.

Actual behavior

After page load:

• .article-comments exists
• script[data-ghost-comments] exists
• #ghost-comments-root does not exist

As a result, the comments area stays blank and no thread / zero-comments CTA is rendered.
