+**Mutation failures and the global error toast:**
+
+Every mutation failure raises a global error toast unless the call site opts out (`meta: SILENCE_ERROR_TOAST`), and an `afterEach` fails any test that leaves a toast unacknowledged.

+```tsx
+import { expectErrorToast } from "@/test-utils"
+// After driving a mutation failure whose intended error surface is the toast:
+await expectErrorToast("Something went wrong")
+// If the component shows its own inline error instead, don't acknowledge —
+// opt the component out of the toast with `meta: SILENCE_ERROR_TOAST`.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 - **"No response specified"** → Mock the API call with `setMockResponse`

+## Mutation error handling
+
+Every mutation failure in the browser shows a global error toast by default (`MutationCache.onError` in `main/src/app/getQueryClient.ts`), so failures are never silent. Tune it per call site via React Query `meta` (typed in `api/mutation-meta`):
+
+- Component renders its own inline error for the failure → pass `meta: SILENCE_ERROR_TOAST` to the mutation hook, or the user sees a double alert. Required even if you catch the `mutateAsync` rejection yourself — catching does not suppress the toast.
+- Custom toast copy → `meta: { errorMessage: "Could not save your changes." }`, or `getErrorMessage(error, variables)` for data-driven copy.
+- Shared `api/` hooks accept `{ meta }` (`MutationHookOptions`) and forward it; the opt-out belongs at the _consumer_, never baked into a shared hook (many hooks are surfaced in one place and silent in another).

+  #
+  #   A renamed job keeps being required under its old name, which GitHub will never
+  #   report again, so every PR waits forever on it. mitxonline hit exactly this when
+  #   `python-tests` became a 4-way matrix and the checks turned into
+  #   `python-tests (1)`..`(4)`.
+  #
+  #   A newly added job is not required until somebody remembers to go and add it, so

+  # Requiring `ci-gate` instead keeps the list of what must pass in the same file as

+  # `openapi-diff` is absent from `needs` because `needs` can only reference jobs in
