 ### Fixes
 
+- Slack/exec approvals: resolve native approval button clicks over the Gateway instead of delivering `/approve ...` as plain agent text, preserving retry buttons if Gateway resolution fails. Fixes #71023. (#71025) Thanks @marusan03.
 - Slack/files: return non-image `download-file` results as local file paths instead of image payloads, and include Slack file IDs in inbound file placeholders so agents can call `download-file`. Fixes #71212. Thanks @teamrazo.
 - Discord/replies: run `message_sending` plugin hooks for Discord reply delivery, including DM targets, so plugins can transform or cancel outbound Discord replies consistently with other channels. Fixes #59350. (#71094) Thanks @wei840222.
 - Control UI/commands: carry provider-owned thinking option ids/labels in session rows and defaults so fresh sessions show and accept dynamic modes such as `adaptive`, `xhigh`, and `max`. Fixes #71269. Thanks @Young-Khalil.
