Research direction

Look for the Phabricator webhook handler in the codebase, likely in a file like webhook_handlers.py or phabricator.py. Find where the response is built and remove the body or set it to an empty string. Test by triggering the webhook and verifying the response no longer contains the 'status' field.

Description

The response is not accurate now.

We were returning "status": "ignored" on duplicates. I'm not sure if we need a response at all, I think nothing read it anyway.
