Error message

channel message edit route not implemented by backend ({provider}, message {message_id})

What it means

A channel-message edit hit an unmatched-route 404 on a /channels/.../messages/... path, which the classifier reads as the backend not implementing the edit route for that provider. Mapped to the typed ChannelEditUnsupported error rather than a generic failure.

Solutions

1. Fall back to a new message instead of editing on that provider
2. Track the backend feature and retry once the edit route ships for the provider
