## What happened

The sender cannot do this right now.

## Why

The sender's channel connection exists but is not ready for this operation: the connection is not ready, the installation is gone, an interaction expired, a carrier connection cannot send, or a readiness condition is unmet.

## How to fix it

Fix the connection in the dashboard (Channels) using `details.remediation` when present, then send again.
