The channel settings page used a simple `isOpen` / `else` conditional to render …the close/open channel toggle. Any non-open channel (closed, read-only, archived) would show an "Open channel" button. Clicking it on an archived or read-only channel would open the "Close channel" modal instead, which then failed with a server error because the guardian only allows `closed → open` transitions. Replace the `else` branch with an explicit `isClosed` check so only closed channels get an active "Open channel" button. For archived and read-only channels, render a disabled button wrapped in a `DTooltip` that explains why reopening is not possible. Here's how the tooltip looks like <img width="1590" height="1343" alt="2026-02-25 @ 08 57 34" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7220065a-6c03-480c-bb91-b24da04ae496" /> https://meta.discourse.org/t/396707
