*
* `[<channel> <from> +<elapsed>? <host>? <ip>? <Wkd YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM TZ>?] <body>`

* `[Telegram Alice +5m] I prefer dark mode`

* `[Discord #general user +0s Mon 2026-05-17T14:30Z] text`
*
* Detection keys on the load-bearing parts that mark this header as an
* envelope (rather than arbitrary user-typed `[brackets]`): an elapsed marker
* `+<n><unit>` produced by `formatTimeAgo({suffix:false})` (units: s/m/h/d, or
* the literal `just now` fallback), or a weekday + ISO date pair produced by
* `formatEnvelopeTimestamp`. Either marker is unique enough that quoting
* `[5m]` or `[Mon 2026-05-17]` mid-sentence will not look like an envelope
* prefix because the regex is anchored to start-of-string and requires the
* marker to live inside the leading bracket followed by `]<space>`.
*
* Capture group 1 is the inside-bracket text, used by the sender-prefix
* gating logic in `sanitizeForMemoryCapture` to scope which body labels we
* are willing to strip. Header part length is capped at 300 chars to avoid
* catastrophic backtracking on pathological inputs; real envelopes are well
* under that.

* Marker-free leading envelope header. The elapsed/date marker regex above

* Because channel labels can also be ordinary words, callers only accept this

*
* Anchoring on a known bundled/official channel prefix from
* `BUNDLED_CHAT_CHANNEL_ENVELOPE_PREFIXES` keeps the detector and formatter in
* sync across callers that pass either ids or display labels like `Google Chat`.
* Case insensitive because the formatter does not lowercase `params.channel`
* itself; production paths feed mixed ids and labels.
*
* From-label must be at least one non-whitespace token so user prose like
* `[note]` or `[telegram] ...` (no following label) is not mistaken for an
* envelope. Capture group 1 is the inside-bracket text (channel + from-label
* and any remaining header parts), used by the sender-prefix gating logic in
* `sanitizeForMemoryCapture`. Header part length is capped at 300 chars to
* match the marker-aware regex above and avoid catastrophic backtracking.
*
* Guarded against an empty `BUNDLED_CHAT_CHANNEL_ENVELOPE_PREFIXES` so the
