Workflow

1. Load Persona

•check_known_issues("slack_send_message", "")

3. Resolve Channel

•Load config: config.json → slack.channels.team for default channel
•slack_list_channels(limit=100) — list channels
•Resolve: use input channel if provided, else team channel from config

4. Resolve User (if mention)

•If inputs.mention: slack_get_user(user=inputs.mention) → extract user ID for <@U123>

5. Format Message

•If template specified: use template (mr_ready, deployment, alert, release, cve_fix)
•Else: use type to pick emoji (info=ℹ️, success=✅, warning=⚠️, error=❌)
•mr_ready: mr_id, title, url, issue_key
•deployment: environment, namespace, status, duration
•alert: alert_name, severity, environment, runbook
•release: version, environments, changelog
•cve_fix: cve_id, package, version, mr_url, issue_key
•Append mention if provided; append context if provided
