Fixed the outstanding review item: Commit: a20f3d1 |
Treat Add Reactions as required for canUseChannel so setup guidance matches channel permission diagnostics.

What changed
Discord bot setup copy and public docs list Add Reactions as a required installation permission. Channel diagnostics now enforce the same:
add_reactionsis part ofrequiredPermissions, so a channel without that permission is reported unusable (canUseChannel: false).Why this change was made
Operators were getting soft optional reaction-permission guidance while install requested Add Reactions, and diagnostics still accepted reaction-denied channels as usable. Review feedback asked to align enforcement with the required-permission wording.
