# execute_channel_metadata_change

Apply one exact reviewed partial Discord channel metadata or voice-setting change only after a fresh matching keyed plan and signed interactive approval. Reserves a one-shot key, records pending content-free evidence, performs one non-retried PATCH, validates the complete response, and performs one fresh complete GET readback. Never deletes, moves, reorders, converts, replaces overwrites or forum tags, mutates threads, retries, or rolls back.
