Accepting a friend request shows a generic error instead of the reason

(#460) Bug Awaiting confirmation ui

Summary

When adding a friend who does not accept friend request, the friend request is generic "Failed to accept friend request. Please try again." I would expect the reason to be in the error.

Steps to reproduce

Get a friend request from someone.
Have the other person disable their friend requests.
Attempt to accept friend request.

Environment (optional)

canary build 211 (951d677), 2026-03-28 01:17:55 UTC, Electron 39.2.7, Windows 10 10.0.19045 (x64), desktop canary 0.0.7

Logs or screenshots (optional)

The response from the server when trying the friend request is: `{ "code": "FRIEND_REQUEST_BLOCKED", "message": "User does not accept friend requests at this time." }` The app could use the message for the error.

This was closed in a bulk cleanup before Fluxer V2 without being checked or fixed. It may work now, so it is waiting for someone to confirm whether the bug still happens.

I think the bug is that you can't accept the friend request to begin with, not that you should receive an error saying that their friend requests are off. They sent you a friend request, so you should be able to accept this request regardless of their friend request settings. If they've changed their mind on friending you, they're supposed to just cancel their friend request or unfriend you.
