+    // error was wiped before a person could read it (often on the very next
+    // line of the same callback). Compounding it, `send`/`revise` cleared
+    // `msgInput.value` unconditionally, even on failure — so a rejected
+    // answer vanished from the box with no trace at all. Fixed by: (1) a
+    // dedicated `#chat-action-error` element only these handlers touch,
+    // never `poll()`/`renderActions`; (2) only clearing the input on a
+    // confirmed 200+ok response; (3) an explicit `.catch` so a rejected
+    // fetch (network drop, server restart) shows an error too, instead of
+    // silently doing nothing.
+    // build item 1 — the ONE place that decides "did this chat POST
+    // succeed" — pure, no DOM, unit-tested directly
+    // (tests/panel-page.test.js). Before this existed, each handler decided
+    // ad hoc via `r.body && r.body.error && !r.body.ok`, which is true only
+    // when the server bothered to hand back BOTH `ok:false` AND a non-empty
+    // `error` string — a malformed/short-circuited response (e.g. a 403 the
