Test Improvement

__tests__/issueCommentTest/errorPaths.test.ts asserted the eleven could not … wraps in src/issueComment/* (assign.ts:42,73, unassign.ts:42,64, cc.ts:39,70, uncc.ts:38, reopen.ts:45, close.ts:60, retitle.ts:51, lock.ts:62) by prefix only, so dropping the interpolated rejection (: ${e}) from any of them left the suite green — verified on main @ 88241f4 for close.ts:60 and reopen.ts:45 (npx vitest related … → 576/576 pass) and lock.ts:62 (the file directly, 19/19). That cause (HttpError: Resource not accessible by integration) is the only line a maintainer gets when a token lacks a permission.

Each of the eleven assertions now matches the full message, could not <step>: HttpError: Resource not accessible by integration, via one shared cause constant.

Files: __tests__/issueCommentTest/errorPaths.test.ts only. No src/, dist/ or docs change. Disjoint from every open held PR (#510–#545): none touches this file.

Verification (this branch, local)

• npx vitest run __tests__/issueCommentTest/errorPaths.test.ts: 19/19 pass
• npx eslint __tests__/issueCommentTest/errorPaths.test.ts: clean
• mutant close.ts:60 could not close issue: ${e} → could not close issue: the file now fails 1/19 (Received: "could not close issue")

Related Issue

Refs #523 — the folded errorPaths finding on that tracker is fully addressed by this PR; the tracker stays open for its other folded findings (e2e String(e) arms, run.ts:40 / config.ts:657 / lgtm.ts:68 v8-ignore text, which need a src/ change — needs-human: production-file edits outside the quality lane).

Important

Held for human review by the hive's ACMM level gate.

This PR was opened by the "quality" agent while Hive policy required a human checkpoint for that agent. Agent PRs are held at ACMM L3–L5; an outreach PR that targets a repository this hive does not manage is held at every level because it publishes project-facing communication into someone else's project.

Hive will keep the hold label until a human removes it. Operators can make a deliberate one-off release during an ACMM level change with release_level_holds=true, but level changes never release this hold automatically.

Copilot review performed under the maintainer's explicit authorization to update, review, release reviewed holds, and merge eligible PRs in this cleanup.

The existing wrapped-failure assertions now retain the underlying GitHub refusal instead of matching only a generic prefix; changes remain test-only.

Verified successful build-test, e2e-coverage and DCO results on head 8511d84. Any folded issue findings remain assigned to the canonical destinations in the updated scope tables.
