Slack's groupPolicy could either restrict to specific channels
("allowlist") or require an @mention ("mention"), but not both: in
allowlist mode the bot replied to every message in approved channels.
Add a groupRequireMention flag so that, when groupPolicy is "allowlist",
the bot only responds in channels listed in groupAllowFrom AND only when
@mentioned. Mirrors Signal's group.requireMention. No effect for the
"mention"/"open" policies, so existing configs are unchanged.
Extract the mention check into _is_mention and reuse it from both the
mention and allowlist branches.

The ask_user tool used AskUserInterrupt(BaseException) for mid-turn
blocking, creating heavy coupling across runner, loop, and session
management. The model now asks questions naturally in response text,
the turn ends normally, and the user's next message starts a new turn
with session history providing continuity.
Removed:
- nanobot/agent/tools/ask.py (tool, interrupt, helpers)
- tests/agent/test_ask_user.py
- webui/src/components/thread/AskUserPrompt.tsx
- AskUserInterrupt handling in runner.py
- Dual-path message building in loop.py
- Pending ask detection via history scanning
- button_prompt/buttons emission in WebSocket channel
- ask_user references in Slack channel docstrings
Preserved (MessageTool uses these independently):
- OutboundMessage.buttons field
- Channel button rendering (Telegram, Slack, WebSocket)
Slack inbound events with subtype=file_share were silently dropped, so
nanobot never saw messages that included attachments. Allow file_share
through, download Slack-private files using the bot token into the
local media dir, and pass them to the agent as media paths plus a
"[file: name]" / "[image: name]" placeholder in the content. Reject
responses that look like Slack's login HTML so an auth page is never
saved as if it were the user's file. Document the required files:read
scope alongside files:write so installs that read attachments are not
quietly missing the permission.
Capture Slack thread metadata for cron and message-tool deliveries so replies stay in the originating thread, and hydrate first thread mentions with recent Slack context.

When Slack resolves a named target to another conversation, do not reuse the origin thread timestamp on the destination send, and keep reaction cleanup anchored to the source conversation.
