Annotation thread not found

Error message

Annotation thread not found

What it means

404 response from GET /issues/:id/documents/:key/annotations/:threadId. Fires after the document resolves but no annotation thread with the given threadId exists on that document (or the thread belongs to another document/issue), so the thread lookup returns null.

Solutions

1. Verify the id in the request path or body refers to an existing record in this company; re-list the parent collection to get a valid id.
2. Check that the record was not deleted or archived, and that the request is scoped to the correct companyId.
