Research direction

Start at app/javascript/components/dropdowns/Reputation.tsx:94 and trace the dropdown flow through app/javascript/components/dropdowns/useDropdown. Review the linked Sentry report for the operation-specific failure and reproduce the error if possible. Done means the underlying failure is identified and the Reputation dropdown no longer raises this error.
