Solutions

1. Confirm the comment ID via `multica issue comment list <issue>`.
2. If already deleted, treat as success in idempotent scripts.
3. Verify permissions and auth for 401/403 responses.

# bash: confirm the comment exists before deleting
multica issue comment list "$ISSUE" --output json | jq -e --arg c "$CID" 'any(.[]; .id == $c)' >/dev/null \
  || { echo "no such comment: $CID" >&2; exit 2; }

# bash: treat 'not found' as idempotent success in automation
multica issue comment delete "$CID" 2>/tmp/err || {
  grep -q '404\|not found' /tmp/err && exit 0
  cat /tmp/err >&2; exit 1;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing a wrong or truncated comment ID; deleting a comment that was already removed; lacking delete rights in the workspace; server unreachable.

Common situations: IDs copied without the full prefix; scripts double-running and hitting the second delete; expired token.
