Step 4: Respond to an inline access error (no permission)

If you do not have permission to create reports on this project, an inline banner in the modal explains that you do not have access; use the "Ask a project admin for access" guidance and "Copy report text" option to share your drafted report with someone who can help.

Step 5: Retry after a temporary system error

If a temporary error occurs (such as a server problem), an inline message appears but the "Create report" button stays enabled so you can try submitting the same report again with one click.

Step 6: Sign back in if your session has expired

If your authentication has expired, the modal shows an inline message such as "You've been signed out" so you can sign in again before retrying the report submission.

Step 7: Edit your report to clear error messages

As soon as you change the title or content after an error, the inline banner is cleared so you can focus on updating your report and then submit it again.
