Discord webhook request failed (${response.status})
Error message
Discord webhook request failed (${response.status}) What it means
Posting the announcement to the configured Discord webhook returned a non-OK status (invalid webhook, expired URL, or Discord error); the pending receipt claim is deleted before this throws so no half-delivered state remains.

Defensive patterns
Strategy: retry
When it happens
Trigger: Triggered when release-announce.mjs rejects the current invocation: Discord webhook request failed (<value>)
Common situations: Occurs while running scripts/discord/release-announce.mjs with invalid arguments, missing flags, or a failing external dependency; the guard at scripts/discord/release-announce.mjs:172 aborts the command with this message.
