Failed to create preset

Error message

Failed to create preset

What it means

POST /system/create-preset response when SlashCommandPresets.create() returns falsy — the preset persistence layer failed to store the new slash-command preset (command, prompt, description) without throwing. Returns HTTP 500; reserved-command conflicts are rejected separately with a distinct message.
