Rest endpoint to delete comments returning 404

Start with the workflow snippet in the issue and the linked GitHub REST documentation for deleting an issue comment. Compare the comment identifiers saved by gh pr view --json comments with the comment_id passed to github.rest.issues.deleteComment, then verify the documented request against the reported 404 response. Done means the conditional deletion works for the saved comments.

I am saving the output of a gh cli invocation as follows:

gh pr view ${{ github.event.number }} --json comments > comments.json

I then want to iterate on the saved comments and conditionally delete some of them,

      - name: delete comments
        uses: actions/github-script@v6
        with:
          result-encoding: string
          script: |
            const fs = require('fs');
            const jsonData = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('comments.json', 'utf-8'));
            const comments = jsonData.comments;
            for (const cmnt of comments) {
              comment_id = cmnt.id
              if (cmnt.author.login == 'author-name' || cmnt.body == 'foo') {
                github.rest.issues.deleteComment({
                  owner: context.repo.owner,
                  repo: context.repo.repo,
                  comment_id: comment_id,
                })
              }
            }

This fails with:

 status: 404,
  response: {
    url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/MyOrganization/MyRepo/issues/comments/IC_kwDODse5xs5r1sLf',
    status: 404,
