unresolve comment: %w

Error message

unresolve comment: %w

What it means

`multica issue comment unresolve <comment-id>` sends DELETE to /api/comments/{id}/resolve. This error wraps that call failing: unknown comment, comment not currently resolved, permission denied, or network/server errors.

Solutions

1. Confirm the comment is currently resolved via `multica issue comment list`.
2. Treat 'not resolved' outcomes as idempotent success in automation.
3. Fix auth/permissions for 401/403; retry transient failures.

# bash: only unresolve comments that are resolved
state=$(multica issue comment list "$ISSUE" --output json | jq -r --arg c "$CID" '.[] | select(.id == $c) | .resolved')
[[ "$state" == "true" ]] || { echo "comment $CID is not resolved" >&2; exit 2; }

# bash: idempotent unresolve
multica issue comment unresolve "$CID" 2>/tmp/err || {
  grep -qE '404|not (resolved|found)' /tmp/err && exit 0
  cat /tmp/err >&2; exit 1;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Unresolving a comment that is not resolved; mistyped ID; missing rights; API unreachable. The comment ID is URL-escaped into the path, so odd characters are safe but wrong IDs still 404.

Common situations: Batch scripts unresolving already-unresolved comments; copied IDs from a different workspace.
