## Thinking Path > - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work. > - Slack connects people to those agents through channels and threads. > - A mention can start a conversation without making the bot answer all channel traffic. > - The current setting also requires mentions on every thread reply. > - This interrupts an existing conversation and can cancel a queued reply. > - This change requires mentions on channel roots and allows replies without a mention. > - People can continue a thread without adding the bot name to each message. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** The Slack connection setting that requires an at-mention. **Current behavior** When the setting is on, a channel thread reply must mention the bot. The delivery and execution checks reject a reply that has no mention. **Proposed behavior** Require a mention on a top-level channel message. Allow replies in existing threads without a mention. Keep the current DM access controls. **Reason and benefit** A person can continue an existing conversation without repeating the bot name. **Breaking changes** Existing connections with the setting on will accept thread replies without a mention. The saved setting, default value, and API field stay the same. ## What Changed - Rename the control to **Require at-mention in channels**. Explain the thread and DM rules in the help text and operator documentation. - Keep the mention policy in the Slack module. Use the thread root and message IDs to identify a reply. - Call that policy from durable admission, wake authorization, and queued run start. These shared paths must enforce the same setting when a delivery resumes. Other providers keep their current behavior. - Update PostgreSQL integration tests for thread replies, DMs, queued deliveries, and combined wake inputs. Add tests that reject incomplete reply identity. ## Verification - Reproduced rejected thread replies and cancelled queued reply runs before the fix. - Passed 16 focused PostgreSQL integration cases after the fix. - Passed 71 tests on revision `31b1adede2b92bad24b8fa21b8f6fffa9bd26d04` after the rebase. This includes the full durable wakeup suite, Slack policy tests, and eight selected Slack delivery cases. - Command: `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/services/chat-channels/slack/wake-authority.test.ts server/src/__tests__/durable-chat-wakeup.test.ts server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "at-mentions by default|thread replies without mentions|rechecks queued Slack|preserves running Slack tool authority|Slack channel mention policy|durable inbound chat scheduler receipts"`. - Strengthened the queued-root test to check the mention-rejection reason and content redaction. A temporary change that disabled mention enforcement caused this test to fail with the unrelated-message reason. The real policy is restored. - Removed the added source comments to follow the contribution rules. - `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass. - `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 because the operator documentation is a global CI input. Required CI must supply the wider coverage. - Local preflight installed dependencies and built the plugin SDK. It could not build Runner Rust binaries because this environment has no `cargo` executable. The focused server tests run without those binaries. - Live Slack and browser tests were not run. This change uses the existing provider message and thread identities. - Required CI passed on `31b1adede2b92bad24b8fa21b8f6fffa9bd26d04`: [PR workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43035551294), including typecheck, build, server/chat tests, Runner checks, and browser E2E. Current-head Greptile and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5 with no open findings. ## Risks - Existing connections with mention gating on will now accept unmentioned thread replies. This is the intended behavior change. - A missing or invalid thread or message ID does not grant the reply exception. - No schema migration is required. Destination, sender, and company access checks stay in place. - The existing chat integration test file is large. This change updates its current Slack cases to reuse the full delivery and authorization fixture. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning and code execution tools. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
