Slack link unfurls (inline message previews) are enabled by default
when unfurl_links is not explicitly set in chat.postMessage. This means
bot messages containing Slack message links or URLs automatically expand
into rich preview cards, which can be noisy in channels.
Default unfurl_links to false so outbound messages don't show inline
link previews unless the operator explicitly opts in via:
channels.slack.unfurlLinks: true
unfurlMedia remains opt-in (only sent when explicitly configured).
The Slack docs jumped straight from intro into the Quick Setup tabs
without telling readers when to pick each transport. Add a Choosing
Socket Mode or HTTP Request URLs section above Quick Setup with a
concern-by-concern table (public URL, outbound network, tokens, dev
laptops, scaling, multi-account, slash command transport, signing,
recovery) plus a Note pointing at the right default for each shape.
Also add an Info block under the HTTP Quick Setup manifest explaining
why the manifest carries three url fields (slash_commands[].url,
event_subscriptions.request_url, interactivity.request_url) — Slack's
manifest schema requires them spelled out separately even though
OpenClaw routes by payload type, and slash commands silently no-op
without their url field in HTTP mode.
The Quick Setup steps in docs/channels/slack.md previously sent users to
the `#manifest-and-scope-checklist` anchor lower on the page to copy the
manifest, breaking the copy-paste flow. Pull the manifest inline as a
Mintlify <CodeGroup> for both Socket Mode and HTTP Request URLs tabs and
add a Minimal variant for workspaces that restrict scopes (drops
files:*, reactions:*, pins:*, mpim:*, emoji:read, usergroups:read while
keeping DMs, channel/group history, mentions, App Home, and slash
commands). Recommended matches extensions/slack/src/setup-shared.ts.
Existing Manifest and scope checklist section stays as the canonical
per-scope reference.
Cross-link from docs/concepts/qa-e2e-automation.md so QA maintainers see
the production manifest reference, while keeping the QA Driver/SUT pair
of manifests inline (the lane intentionally needs two distinct apps so
its shape is different from a single-app production install).
Summary:
- The PR enables Slack draft preview streaming for flat DMs in all non-off modes, updates Slack streaming tests/docs/config metadata/changelog, and refreshes small guard baselines.
- Reproducibility: yes. source-reproducible on current main: the helper returns false for `mode: "partial"` in ... current test asserts that disabled path. I did not run tests because this review was explicitly read-only.
Automerge notes:
- Ran the ClawSweeper repair loop before final review.
- Included post-review commit in the final squash: fix(slack): enable preview streaming in flat DMs (replyToMode: off)
- Included post-review commit in the final squash: fix(clawsweeper): address review for automerge-openclaw-openclaw-5654…
Validation:
- ClawSweeper review passed for head 52e5d74ef9.
- Required merge gates passed before the squash merge.

Adds a Slack attachment vision reference covering downloaded media handling, PDF/file limits, thread-starter media fallback, multi-attachment behavior, and known troubleshooting cases.
Fixes#51355
Thanks @haroldfabla2-hue.
Clarify the canonical Slack streaming config keys and legacy migration notes
across the Slack docs and shared streaming concept docs.
Document that native Slack streaming and assistant thread status require a
reply thread, and call out the top-level DM fallback behavior.
