 - Telegram/Markdown spoilers: keep valid `||spoiler||` pairs while leaving unmatched trailing `||` delimiters as literal text, avoiding false all-or-nothing spoiler suppression. (#26105) Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Hooks/Inbound metadata: include `guildId` and `channelName` in `message_received` metadata for both plugin and internal hook paths. (#26115) Thanks @davidrudduck.
 - Discord/Component auth: evaluate guild component interactions with command-gating authorizers so unauthorized users no longer get `CommandAuthorized: true` on modal/button events. (#26119) Thanks @bmendonca3.
+- Slack/Inbound media fallback: deliver file-only messages even when Slack media downloads fail by adding a filename placeholder fallback, capping fallback names to the shared media-file limit, and normalizing empty filenames to `file` so attachment-only messages are not silently dropped. (#25181) Thanks @justinhuangcode.
