[ptt] sendMessage failed

Error message

[ptt] sendMessage failed

What it means

Posting the successfully transcribed push-to-talk message to the resolved thread failed: deps.sendMessage (chatService send) threw after thread resolution succeeded. The turn's text is lost — the handler plays the error chime and returns without a retry or queue, so the user must re-speak the message.

Solutions

1. Inspect the warn log's err string to identify whether the failure was RPC transport, auth (expired session token), or thread-level rejection
2. Confirm the threadId still exists server-side — a deleted/archived thread makes sendMessage fail deterministically
3. Check that the core process and its socket/RPC surface are healthy at the time of the send
4. If the failure is transient (network blip), re-speaking the message creates a new session that retries the full pipeline
