…d#114) When the LLM provider returns a token-limit, context-length, HTTP 5xx, or rate-limit error, skip posting it as a PR comment and show the error locally instead. A centralized is_non_actionable_error() helper detects these infrastructure failures by checking for known error prefixes combined with provider error patterns.

The enhanced LLM analysis methods catch provider exceptions and return error strings (e.g.
Error during enhanced LLM analysis: 502 Bad Gateway). These strings were previously treated as normal review output and blindly posted to GitHub viapost_pr_comment().Test plan
