When an agent hit a resource limit (e.g. token quota), the error was formatted and sent back via send_response() — which on Mastodon means posting a public/unlisted status. This caused hundreds of "Agent error: Resource quota exceeded" posts to be published in a burst. Add a suppress_error_responses() method to ChannelAdapter (default false). Mastodon overrides it to true. Both error branches in dispatch_text_message and dispatch_multimodal_message now gate the send_response() call on this flag. Errors are still logged and recorded in delivery history. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
suppress_error_responses() -> boolto theChannelAdaptertrait (defaultfalse)MastodonAdapteroverrides totrue— agent errors are logged internally but not posted as statusesdispatch_text_messageanddispatch_multimodal_messageerror branches respect this flagProblem
When an agent hit a resource quota (e.g. token limit exceeded), the error was passed to
send_response()which on Mastodon means callingapi_post_status(). This caused hundreds of"Agent error: Resource quota exceeded: Token limit exceeded"posts to be published to a user's Mastodon account in a burst, all within the same second.Errors are still logged via
warn!()and recorded in delivery history — they're just no longer broadcast as public/unlisted statuses.Why this approach
Adding a trait method keeps the fix localized to adapters that opt in. All existing adapters (Telegram, Slack, Discord, etc.) are unaffected. Any future public broadcast adapters (e.g. Bluesky) can override
suppress_error_responses()totruethe same way.Test plan
