## Silent Response

When no reply is needed (emoji reaction, acknowledgment without question, casual banter) — respond with exactly `NO_REPLY`. The bot swallows this token and sends nothing to the user. Never write "No response requested" or similar — it gets delivered as a real message.
When no reply is needed (emoji reaction, acknowledgment without question, casual banter), your response must **start with the literal token `NO_REPLY`** — optionally followed by punctuation and a brief reason. Nothing may precede `NO_REPLY` — no preamble, no summary, no explanation.

The bot's delivery suppression regex is `/^NO_REPLY\b/` applied to the trimmed output. It matches **only** when `NO_REPLY` is the FIRST text in your response. Any leading content — even one word of summary — causes the WHOLE message to be delivered to the user.

Wrong (delivered as a real message):
- `All checks clean. NO_REPLY` ← summary first → bot delivers everything
- `Done. NO_REPLY` ← same
- `Acknowledged.\n\nNO_REPLY` ← same

Right (suppressed):
- `NO_REPLY`
- `NO_REPLY: nothing actionable` ← reason after colon is fine
- ` NO_REPLY ` ← whitespace ignored after trim

Never write "No response requested" or similar — those get delivered as real messages.
