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

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

  1. Get a friend request from someone.
  2. Have the other person disable their friend requests.
  3. 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.
