Main changes explained:

• Updated routes.js to mount the new Reddit router

How to test:

1. Check out this backend branch
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run dev to start the server locally
4. Clear site data/cache if needed
5. Use Postman to make the following requests:
   • POST /api/reddit/post with a valid JWT and form-data including title, subreddit, optional text, optional scheduleTime, and optional image file
   • GET /api/reddit/scheduled to retrieve scheduled jobs
   • DELETE /api/reddit/scheduled/:jobId to cancel a specific scheduled job
6. Confirm that posts are created/scheduled correctly and that scheduled jobs appear as expected

Note:

• Current scheduling implementation uses in-memory storage and will not persist across server restarts
• Reddit media posting supports only one image per post
• OAuth integration is not yet implemented; current version uses app-level credentials
• Frontend UI is still in development and located in the Announcements component for testing purposes
