Error message

announcement has a pending receipt; inspect Discord before clearing it

What it means

Delivery idempotency guard: a receipt comment marking a pending delivery already exists on the discussion. The tool refuses to deliver again until a human inspects Discord and clears the stale receipt, preventing duplicate announcements.
