Research direction
Start in src/githubUtils.ts at addReaction, then compare the reported Octokit request stack trace and POST reaction details with the bot's error-handling path. Determine how this failure should be handled so the bot does not crash, and verify that the reported reaction request no longer causes an unhandled failure.
