Walkthrough

The change introduces an early return within the MeteorError handling branch of the invite command's error catch block, preventing downstream isStringError-based error handling from executing when a MeteorError is matched. All other error-handling paths remain unaffected.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Error handling refactoring apps/meteor/app/slashcommands-invite/server/server.ts	Added early return in MeteorError catch branch to short-circuit subsequent isStringError-based error handling

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~12 minutes

• Area of focus: Verify that the early return correctly prevents unintended cascade error handling and doesn't mask relevant error information in the MeteorError case.

Poem

🐰 A catch block returns with early grace,
No cascading errors take its place,
MeteorError halts the flow so neat,
Error handling now complete! ✨
