 * Plain-language copy for a *failed* issue-thread interaction resolution
 * (PAP-17287).
 *
 * The resolution routes deny with a specific reason — human-only, creator
 * excluded, addressee mismatch, a governed action, an already-resolved card.
 * Collapsing all of that to `Try again` tells an operator to repeat an action
 * that will never succeed, so this module keeps the server's explanation and,
 * for an audience denial, follows it with who *can* respond.
 *
 * Presentation only. Authority is the server's: nothing here decides whether an
 * action is permitted, it only explains the answer the server already gave.
