Incorrect raw JSON failure message on posting a comment
In a Codidact community where I have not yet earned the "Participate Everywhere" ability, I am unable to comment except on my own posts and answers to my own posts. This is as intended. I attempted to post a comment in an existing comment thread on an answer to my own question on Electrical Engineering Meta (where I do not have "Participate Everywhere"). I expected this to work, because although I did not create the comment thread, I should be able to add comments to it since it is on an answer to my question. It appeared to fail. However, instead of a failure message through the user interface, I received a raw JSON response, which Firefox displays as a list of keys and values: >  Note that this is not a screenshot of the developer window. This is what is displayed to the user after pressing "Add reply". It's not a pop up window, it's the sole content of the page. In addition to not being how errors are generally presented to the user, the error is also incorrect, as the [comment was successfully posted](https://electrical.codidact.com/comments/thread/10500#comment-26317) (which I found out later when I visited the question page again).
