Auto-reply stays quiet when someone has already answered the artifact comment thread.
What's wrong with this entry?
When a reply is attempted on an artifact comment thread that someone already answered, Claude Code no longer posts, and reports "reply not posted (thread already answered)".
- The reply result can carry an
already_answeredflag, producing a new outcomeanswered_post_timealongside the existinganswered_elsewhereandsummon_foreign. - The suppression is recorded on the
artifact_comments_autoreactmetric asedit_reply_stood_down_post_timeandanswered_post_time_notice_suppressed.
reply not posted (thread already answered)
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
