Closes #191

Summary

Deliver personal Orbit notifications as Slack direct messages while keeping team and project notifications on configured Slack channels.

What changed

  • Added slack_dm routing for personal events while preserving team and project channel delivery.
  • Applied quiet hours to DM-only and mixed-channel notifications with durable deferred delivery times.
  • Added per-recipient delivery state, claims, retries, stale-claim recovery, and provider delivery metadata.
  • Kept Slack calls outside notification write transactions and isolated provider failures from webhook processing.
  • Fail closed when an absolute application URL is unavailable, so Slack never receives unusable relative links.
  • Treat missing mappings, scopes, and integrations as non-retryable skips.
  • Guard reauthorization updates with the integration identity and observed version so stale provider failures cannot invalidate refreshed OAuth configuration.
  • Count permanent provider failures as attempted deliveries while leaving no-provider skips unattempted.
  • Fail closed, with an operational warning, when Slack team routing is unknown or ambiguous.
  • Regenerated the notification-delivery migration after current main and verified the complete migration chain and schema drift.

Delivery semantics

Slack DM delivery is at least once. If Slack accepts a message and the worker terminates before success is persisted, the stale claim is retried and the recipient can receive a duplicate. Slack's message API does not expose a documented idempotency key; stale-claim recovery avoids silently losing deliveries.

Scope boundary

This PR does not implement workspace-wide Slack mapping or per-user manual mapping; that follow-up is tracked in #324. Existing mappings are honored. The Slack surface remains dark by default behind SLACK_INTEGRATION_ENABLED = false.

Verification at head 8c7c4e7

Passed locally:

  • repository lint and all package typechecks, including the exact-head pre-push gate
  • comment policy, source-byte, Bun-import, and dependency-dedupe checks
  • focused notification and Slack delivery suites
  • Slack webhook route suite: 9 pass
  • database schema suite: 22 pass
  • fresh database migration through 0014_condemned_surge and drift verification
  • git diff --check
  • the complete suite before the latest main merge: 4,965 tests passed

After the main merge, every non-web package suite passed. The full web process reproducibly exits with Bun 1.3.14 SIGTRAP at the unchanged line-plot.test.tsx; that test passes alone with 16 tests and 77 assertions. Hosted CI is the exact-head full-suite authority.

The Vercel fork status is blocked by external MagicAPI team authorization and is not a required repository check.

Greptile Summary

The PR adds durable, per-recipient Slack DM delivery for personal notifications while retaining configured Slack channels for team and project notifications.

  • Persists DM delivery state with claims, retries, stale-claim recovery, quiet-hour scheduling, and provider metadata.
  • Adds workspace-scoped Slack mapping, OAuth scope, reauthorization, and notification preference handling.
  • Adds an authenticated cron worker and broad regression coverage for delivery and integration behavior.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 9d963

This PR changes personal notifications to Slack direct messages and adds durable retries, but the current head still has merge-blocking correctness and privacy risks: one changed test file does not compile, concurrent delivery rows can duplicate messages, tenant relationships are not enforced, and some personal notification reasons can fall back to shared channels. These issues can prevent reliable verification, duplicate notifications, or expose personal notifications, so fixes are needed before merge.

Thanks for this, routing personal notifications to Slack DMs instead of a channel is exactly what #191 asked for.

I haven't done a full pass yet, but Greptile's automated review already caught two gaps worth fixing before a deeper review: the slack_dm dispatch descriptor that notifyMany builds is never actually sent, since the production caller only reads outcome.actions and never calls dispatchSlackDm, and the DM availability lookup in notification-preferences.ts isn't scoped to the active organization, so it can read another workspace's Slack integration. Both are worth closing out first since they will come up again in a full review.

I'll get to a proper review soon.

Thanks for the effort here, and thanks for writing the design doc and plan up front. The individual pieces are mostly well written: the mapping table, the scope check, the conversations.open client method, and the settings states all look like code I would be happy to have. My problem is with how they are wired together.

I pulled the branch, ran bun install, and ran the typechecks and both test suites with the flag off and on. Short version: as written, this feature cannot deliver a single DM, and turning it on breaks the GitHub webhook. Details are in the inline comments. Here is the summary and the things I need from you.

1. The feature is not connected to anything

Three things have to be true for dispatchSlackDm to send a message. None of them are ever true in production:

  1. A slack_user_mapping row has to exist. upsertSlackUserMapping has no callers outside its own test, so no row is ever created.
  2. integration.config.scopes has to contain im:write. completeSlackInstall never writes config, and ensureSlackIntegration never sets it, so config is always {} and scopes is always [].
  3. The OAuth request has to ask for im:write. SLACK_BOT_SCOPES in apps/web/src/app/api/integrations/slack/start/route.ts is unchanged and does not include it.

Your own design doc calls for all three ("The Slack OAuth request includes im:write" and "The mapping is refreshed during Slack authorization"). None of them shipped. So every user will see "Connect your Orbit account to Slack to enable Slack DMs" forever, with nothing in the product that lets them do it.

The biggest gap is the mapping. Right now the Slack integration only stores a workspace level bot token. There is no step anywhere that says "this Orbit user is this Slack member". That is a design decision, not a small patch, and it needs to be settled before the rest matters. The realistic options:

  • Sign in with Slack (OpenID) per user from notification settings. Self serve, most accurate, most work.
  • Admin side match on email using users.list, needs users:read and users:read.email. Easiest, breaks when the two emails differ.
  • A /orbit link slash command the user runs in Slack. You already have the slash command plumbing.

Please pick one, say why in the PR, and build it. I am happy to talk it through before you write code.

2. Turning the flag on breaks the GitHub webhook

This is the one that worries me most. See the inline comment on route.ts. I reproduced it:

ORBIT_SLACK_ENABLED=1 bun --env-file=../../.env test tests/app/api/webhooks/github/route.test.ts

does not dispatch disabled Slack effects from a GitHub delivery expects 200 and gets 500. Every GitHub webhook that produces a personal notification will fail, get marked failed, and be retried by GitHub.

3. CI is red, and the PR description says it is not

The "Lint, comments, types" check is failing on @orbit/core and @orbit/mcp-server. It is caused by this PR: importing from the @orbit/services root barrel in notify.ts pulls in the email .tsx templates, and neither package sets jsx in its tsconfig. I confirmed it by reverting only notify.ts to main's version, after which typecheck goes green.

The PR description says "@orbit/services and @orbit/core typechecks pass". That is not true. It also says "Full web typecheck is currently blocked by missing Next.js dependencies". That is also not true, @orbit/web typechecks clean after bun install. Please run bun run verify and update the description to match what actually happened. I rely on that section, so it needs to be accurate.

4. The tests are written so that they cannot fail

The two new routing tests start with if (!slackEnabled) return;. CI does not set ORBIT_SLACK_ENABLED, so both silently pass without running. The feature has no enforced coverage.

Worse, when I do turn the flag on, packages/services goes red with 5 failures, including one of the new tests in this PR (offers Slack DM as a distinct personal notification channel) and three existing tests that assert deliveredChannels equals ['inbox'].

So the suite is green only because the feature is off. Please remove the guards and make the suite green with the flag on. Your design doc lists 8 required test cases; several are missing entirely, including quiet hours and DMs, and nothing covers the webhook dispatch path or the settings availability states.

5. Slack app and environment setup

Before any of this can be tested end to end we need a real Slack app: client id, client secret, signing secret, the redirect URL at /api/integrations/slack/callback, and bot scopes including im:write plus whatever the mapping approach needs. I will handle creating the app on our side, but the PR needs to tell people how to set theirs up.

.env.example currently has no Slack entries at all, while the new docs section tells people to configure the app. Please add ORBIT_SLACK_ENABLED, SLACK_CLIENT_ID, SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET, and SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET to .env.example, and put the required scope list in docs/integrations.md.

6. Product question I need to settle, not you

SLACK_INTEGRATION_ENABLED was set to a hardcoded false in #280 on purpose, to fence Slack outside the open source preview. This PR reopens that boundary behind an env flag, and the PR description does not mention it. That is my call to make, not something to fold quietly into a feature PR. Hold off on that change until I confirm, because if Slack stays fenced off it changes the shape of this whole PR.

7. What I need to see before I look again

I am not going to be able to take this on trust, so please give me:

  1. A screen recording of the whole loop on a clean workspace: connect Slack, complete whatever step maps your Orbit user to your Slack user, trigger a mention, DM arrives in Slack. This is the one that matters. If you cannot record it, the feature is not finished.
  2. Full output of bun run verify and of the two suites above with ORBIT_SLACK_ENABLED=1, pasted into the PR.
  3. The Slack app manifest you tested against: scopes, redirect URLs, event subscriptions.
  4. select * from slack_user_mapping; after running the OAuth flow, showing a row the app created by itself rather than one inserted by hand.

8. Ordered list of changes

Blocking:

  1. Build the user mapping mechanism. Nothing else matters until a real user can get a mapping row through the product.
  2. Add im:write and the identity scope to SLACK_BOT_SCOPES, and persist granted scopes into integration.config in completeSlackInstall.
  3. Remove the throw in the webhook. A skipped DM is not a webhook failure.
  4. Fix the @orbit/core and @orbit/mcp-server typecheck break, import from a narrow subpath instead of the root barrel, and get CI green.
  5. Move DM dispatch out of the database transaction in notifyRecipients.
  6. Remove the if (!slackEnabled) return; guards and make the whole suite pass with the flag on.
  7. Either apply quiet hours to DMs or fix the docs, which currently claim behaviour the code does not have.
  8. Add the Slack variables to .env.example.
  9. Correct the Verification section of the PR description.

After those:

  • Use an absolute URL in the DM text from the core path.
  • Stop writing slack_dm into deliveredChannels before the DM is actually sent.
  • Handle the (integration_id, slack_user_id) unique index conflict in the upsert.
  • Drop clientMsgId or replace it with real idempotency.
  • Decide whether personal events losing team channel delivery is intended, and say so.

One process note: CodeRabbit reported "Review skipped: manual review required for this OSS repository", so it never actually reviewed this. Please re-trigger it and let it finish before this goes anywhere near merge.

Happy to pair on the mapping design if that helps. That is the interesting problem here and the rest follows from it.

Thanks for the detailed review. Given the number of concerns and the unresolved Slack user-mapping/product decision, would it be acceptable to split this work into smaller PRs?

My proposal is:

  1. First, land the Slack user-mapping and OAuth scope/configuration changes.
  2. Then add the DM dispatch path with webhook failure isolation.
  3. Finally follow up with tests, docs, settings UI, and end-to-end verification.

Alternatively, I can reduce this PR to a smaller feature-flagged foundation and defer the remaining product decisions. Would that direction work for you, especially given that Slack integration was intentionally fenced off in #280?

Yes, splitting this makes sense, and your proposed order is close to what I'd want. Concretely:

  1. Mapping plus OAuth scope and config, nothing else. Land slack_user_mapping, wire it into completeSlackInstall and ensureSlackIntegration so im:write and the granted scopes actually get requested and persisted, and pick one of the mapping mechanisms I raised (self-serve Sign in with Slack, admin email match, or a /orbit link slash command) and say which one in the PR. No dispatch path, no webhook change, nothing user-facing beyond a mapping existing to look up. This is the PR that needs the design conversation, happy to pair on it before you write much code.
  2. DM dispatch, moved out of the webhook's open database transaction, with the throw removed. Once mapping exists, wire dispatchSlackDm in, collect the dispatches and send after commit rather than inside it, and make a skipped or failed DM a no-op instead of a 500. Fix the @orbit/services root-barrel import that's breaking @orbit/core and @orbit/mcp-server typecheck while you're in there, since it'll block CI on this PR too.
  3. Everything else: the matrix UI states (unmapped, reauthorize, unavailable), quiet hours for DMs, the batching and rate-limit follow-ups, docs, and turning the guarded tests into real ones.

On SLACK_INTEGRATION_ENABLED: leave it alone in all three. It stays hardcoded false from #280 until I make the call on reopening the preview boundary, that's a separate decision and not one to fold into this work. You can build and fully test #191 behind the mapping and dispatch logic without ever touching that constant, the toggle being off doesn't block any of the three PRs above.

Go ahead and open PR 1 against main and I'll review the mapping approach as soon as it's up.

Coordination with #323

Picking this up again now that #323 exists. Read this together with my review above, which still stands in full: no commits have landed here since, so every point in it is open.

#323 builds the Slack user mapping that this PR is missing. It requests im:write and users:read.email, persists the granted scopes onto the integration, and creates a mapping row through users.lookupByEmail at install time. That is the right answer to the "nothing ever writes a mapping" and "nothing ever writes the scopes" findings here, and I have reviewed it separately.

The two branches collide. Both add a migration numbered 0010, and the two .sql files are byte for byte identical. Both add the same slack_user_mapping table to comms.ts. Both add the same upsertSlackUserMapping to dispatch.ts. I merged them locally to see how bad it is:

CONFLICT (add/add): packages/db/drizzle/meta/0010_snapshot.json
CONFLICT (content): packages/db/drizzle/meta/_journal.json
Auto-merging packages/services/src/slack/dispatch.ts

The first two are loud and someone would resolve them. The third is the problem: dispatch.ts auto-merges with no conflict marker and silently declares upsertSlackUserMapping twice, which typecheck then rejects. And both 0010_*.sql files survive as separate files, so whichever runs second fails with "relation already exists".

How I want these to land

  1. feat: persist Slack user mappings #323 goes in first, once its reconnect bug is fixed. It is self contained, CI is green there, and it owns migration 0010. It is safe to land alone because the whole Slack surface is still behind the disabled flag.

  2. Then rebase this PR onto main and delete the pieces that arrive with feat: persist Slack user mappings #323:

    • packages/db/drizzle/0010_overrated_wendell_vaughn.sql
    • its 0010_snapshot.json and the _journal.json entry
    • the slackUserMapping block in packages/db/src/schema/comms.ts
    • upsertSlackUserMapping and listSlackUserMappings in packages/services/src/slack/dispatch.ts

    That leaves this PR carrying only what is genuinely its own: the slack_dm channel, the personal versus broadcast routing, dispatchSlackDm, the webhook wiring, the settings UI, and the docs. It should shrink a lot and the conflict disappears.

  3. Then work through the blocking list from my review here. Note that feat: persist Slack user mappings #323 adds a ./slack/dispatch subpath export to packages/services/package.json, which is exactly the fix for the @orbit/core and @orbit/mcp-server typecheck break that is currently making CI red on this branch. Import from @orbit/services/slack/dispatch instead of the root barrel and that item is done.

Please do not merge #323 into this branch or copy changes between them. Sequential is the point.

One thing neither PR solves yet

#323 maps only the person who clicks Connect, which is one admin per workspace. Everybody else stays unmapped with no way to fix it, so the settings notice this PR adds is a dead end for them, and the docs here describe an administrator mapping screen that does not exist. I have asked for a separate issue covering a backfill plus a per user fallback. Until that exists, please soften the docs in this PR to describe what actually works rather than what we intend.

I have labelled this blocked to reflect the dependency on #323, and added enhancement and area: notifications. No action needed from you on that.

Sorry for the slow answer on this, you asked a good question on the 16th and it sat for two days while I was working through the other branches. That is on me, and it was the one thing actually blocking you.

The #280 question first, since everything else follows from it

Keep Slack fenced off. Do not touch SLACK_INTEGRATION_ENABLED, and please revert that change from this PR. #280 set that constant to false deliberately as the open source preview boundary, and reopening it is a decision I want to make on its own, with the distributable Slack app in #186 and the member mapping in #324 both done, rather than as a side effect of a notifications PR.

So the target for this work is: the feature lands complete and correct, and lands dark. Flipping the boundary becomes its own small PR later, once there is something behind it worth switching on.

That is good news for the size of your change, because most of what I flagged only bites when the flag is on. The webhook returning 500, the suite going red under ORBIT_SLACK_ENABLED=1, the settings page telling people to reconnect Slack forever: all of that is downstream of enabling it. With the constant left alone, those stop being release blockers and go back to being ordinary correctness work.

One thing it does not let you off, and this is the part worth designing properly: the tests still have to exercise both states. Reading the constant at module scope is what forced the if (!slackEnabled) return; guards, and a test that silently no-ops is worse than no test. Thread the flag through as an option instead, so notifyMany takes something like { slackEnabled } defaulting to the constant, and the tests pass it explicitly. Then the routing tests run and mean something on every CI run, with the production default still false and nothing in the environment able to change it.

Your split, which I am happy with

Your proposal matches the sequencing I had arrived at independently, so let us do exactly that. Mapping it onto what is already open:

  1. feat: persist Slack user mappings #323, already up. Scopes, granted scope persistence, the mapping table and the OAuth mapping. It owns migration 0010. One blocker left on it, the legacy default row splitting an existing install in two on reconnect.
  2. This PR, reduced. Rebase onto main and drop everything that arrives with feat: persist Slack user mappings #323: the 0010_overrated_wendell_vaughn migration with its snapshot and journal entry, the slackUserMapping block in comms.ts, and upsertSlackUserMapping and listSlackUserMappings in dispatch.ts. What is left is the slack_dm channel, the personal versus broadcast routing, the dispatcher, the webhook wiring, the settings UI and the docs. Plus reverting the constant. That should cut this down a lot.
  3. Follow ups. Map every workspace member to Slack, not just the person who installed it #324 is already open for mapping every member rather than only whoever clicked Connect, which is the piece that makes the feature real for anyone but the installing admin.

Do #323 first. It is the smaller of the two and it unblocks this one: the ./slack/dispatch subpath export you added over there is the fix for the @orbit/core and @orbit/mcp-server typecheck break that is currently red here.

Also worth knowing

main moved under both your branches. #316 landed and #319 is closed as a duplicate of it, so your doc collection work is resolved and off your plate. Neither of these two conflicts with main today, but both are three commits behind, so rebase before you push.

I have triggered CodeRabbit here. It had been skipping this repo silently because we are under ten stars, so Greptile has been the only bot actually reviewing your work. You should see a second opinion land shortly.

Thanks for proposing the split rather than pushing a bigger branch, and sorry again for leaving you waiting on the boundary call.

- Around line 58-64: Update the slackDmNotice logic to handle props.slackDm ===
'unavailable' and provide guidance that Slack must be connected or that Slack
DMs are unavailable, ensuring disabled Slack DM checkboxes have an explanatory
notice.

In `@docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-16-slack-dm-notifications.md`:
- Line 96: Update the Slack test commands in the plan to reference the
repository-root environment file with --env-file=.env, or explicitly add a cd
packages/services step before commands that use ../../.env; apply the same
correction to both affected commands.
- Around line 65-79: Remove Task 2’s mapping and OAuth scope persistence work
from the plan, including the schema changes, integration mapping, scope
persistence, migration, and related tests. Keep this PR focused on slack_dm,
routing, dispatch, settings, and documentation, and rely on PR `#323` for the
removed functionality after rebasing.

In `@docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-16-slack-dm-notifications-design.md`:
- Around line 25-29: Update the mapping uniqueness statement to say mappings are
unique per integration and Orbit user, replacing the organization-and-user scope
while retaining the existing per-integration-and-Slack-user constraint.

In `@packages/db/drizzle/0010_overrated_wendell_vaughn.sql`:
- Around line 3-14: The slack_user_mapping constraints currently validate IDs
independently, allowing cross-organization user and integration mappings. Update
the mapping schema and migration around slack_user_mapping to enforce composite
foreign keys pairing organization_id with integration_id and user_id against
matching parent keys, or derive organization_id from a parent record; add a
database test proving mismatched organizations are rejected.

In `@packages/services/src/notifications/index.ts`:
- Around line 78-88: Extend SlackDmDispatch and the notification retry flow to
persist per-notification, per-recipient pending, succeeded, and failed
completion state instead of deduplicating only the parent notification via
loadRecentKeys. Rebuild retries from that recipient-level state so partially
completed batches resume only pending or failed recipients without duplicating
successful DMs, and assign each Slack post a stable idempotency key derived from
the notification and recipient identifiers.

In `@packages/services/src/slack/dispatch.ts`:
- Around line 55-64: Update the scope handling in the Slack integration mapping
to set hasDirectMessageScope only when scopes includes both im:write and
chat:write. Adjust the existing im:write-only test to expect no delivery, add
coverage for successful delivery with both scopes, and include im:write in
SLACK_BOT_SCOPES for new installations.

In `@packages/services/src/slack/index.ts`:
- Around line 188-190: Update openConversationResponseSchema and the
openConversation flow so successful Slack responses (ok true) require a present,
non-empty channel.id, while preserving valid Slack error responses. Ensure
malformed-success cases are rejected and add tests covering missing and empty
channel IDs.

In `@packages/services/tests/slack/dispatch.test.ts`:
- Line 735: Remove the duplicate calls declaration in the test scope, keeping a
single typed calls variable for the surrounding assertions and dispatch setup.
- Around line 763-783: Update the dispatchSlackDm test to create a valid user
mapping before dispatching, then have the mocked fetch fail for
conversations.open or chat.postMessage and assert the delivery result remains 0.
Preserve the existing rollback setup and provider-failure scenario while
ensuring fetch is actually invoked.

In `@packages/services/tests/slack/slack.test.ts`:

retaining a single typed requests array for the Slack test setup so the file
compiles without changing its request-collection behavior.

mikemikimike and others added 4 commits August 27, 2026 20:15
postMessage and updateMessage read channel and ts straight off the
parsed response, but the schema is a discriminated union, so both
failed to typecheck and broke the lint and build jobs.

Guard on body.ok before reading the message identity, the same way
openConversation already does. call() throws on a non-ok payload, so
this is a type narrowing that matches the runtime contract.

Because the success variant requires a nonempty ts, a malformed
{ ok: true } response with no message identity is now rejected instead
of being finalized as delivered.
The claim query orders by attempts so a persistent retry backlog cannot
starve fresh deliveries, but nothing proved it. Add a regression where a
failed delivery and a zero attempt delivery are both eligible and the
limit admits one, and assert the fresh row wins.

Also read Slack channel defaults from the integration flag rather than
asserting a hardcoded false, and disable slack_dm in the every channel
off case, so both suites describe the behaviour on either setting.
SLACK_INTEGRATION_ENABLED was pinned to false to keep Slack outside the
open source preview boundary. Turn it on so channel messages and
personal direct messages reach users.

A deployment that enables Slack needs SLACK_CLIENT_ID,
SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET and SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET. None of them were in
.env.example, so the integration would have appeared in settings while
every install failed. Add them, and correct the docs line that still
described the integration as disabled by default.

Slack channels follow the same opt out model as inbox, email and push:
enabled unless a user turns them off. A direct message still requires a
Slack user mapping, so it only reaches someone who has linked Slack.

Pushed three commits to this branch rather than leave it sitting on a mechanical break. Thanks for the work here, it was much closer than the red CI made it look.

7ee9478f fixes what turned CI red. Your last push made postMessageResponseSchema a discriminated union requiring a nonempty ts, which is exactly the right shape for the malformed-response finding. openConversation guards on body.ok before reading the payload, but postMessage and updateMessage did not, so all four typecheck errors were just the union never being narrowed. Same guard added to both. call() already throws on a non-ok payload, so this is narrowing that matches the runtime contract rather than new behaviour.

97607249 adds the two regressions I asked for on Aug 26:

  • rejects a successful response that carries no usable message identity covers { ok: true } with both a missing and an empty ts.
  • claims fresh Slack DM work ahead of a retry backlog puts a failed delivery and a zero-attempt delivery in the same eligible window with a limit of one, and asserts the fresh row wins.

I confirmed each one fails when its fix is reverted, so neither is vacuous.

0af1c7df enables the integration. That is my call on the preview boundary from #280, not something that was yours to make, so it is a separate commit and reverts cleanly on its own. It also adds SLACK_CLIENT_ID, SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET and SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET to .env.example, which had no Slack entries at all, and corrects the docs line still describing Slack as disabled by default.

One thing worth flagging that only shows up once the flag is on: isChannelEnabled treats a channel as enabled unless a preference row explicitly disables it, so Slack follows the same opt-out model as inbox, email and push. That is intended, and a DM still requires a slack_user_mapping, so it only reaches someone who has actually linked Slack. It did mean two default-matrix assertions and the every channel off producer case were encoding the old always-disabled state, so they now read the flag instead of a hardcoded false.

Local runs on this head: 609 pass in @orbit/services, 49 pass in core notifications, 60 pass in Slack dispatch, and no typecheck errors beyond the ones already on main.

Both threads I left open are addressed, so I am resolving them. Over to CI.

Status check: 7ee9478f/97607249/0af1c7df are in, and the exact head (9d963a7d, merge of current main) is fully green: unit/integration, Playwright, build, lint/comments/types, migrations, CodeQL, TS analysis, docs, and Greptile (5/5, no blocking failure). Both threads I'd left open are resolved.

Two things outstanding before this can merge: CodeRabbit hasn't posted an exact-head review yet (its last one is on an older commit), and pulkitxm's requested review is still open. Re-triggering CodeRabbit below; no action needed from you unless one of those comes back with something.

Match the Slack error code instead of the message text.

call now throws SlackApiError, which exposes code. A substring match on the message also matches any unrelated error whose text happens to contain users_not_found, and it breaks if the message format changes.

Add the single-scope negative case.

This test only covers both scopes present. If hasDirectMessageScope regressed from && to ||, or dropped the chat:write term, this test would still pass.

Add cases for ['im:write'] alone and ['chat:write'] alone, and assert hasDirectMessageScope is false.

Cache the DM channel id on the mapping row.

conversations.open runs on every DM send. The DM channel id for a mapped user is stable, and conversations.open carries a Slack rate limit. A busy organization will receive HTTP 429, which SlackClient.call converts to a rateLimited error and which then consumes a delivery attempt.

Store the returned channel id on slack_user_mapping after the first successful open, and call conversations.open only when the stored value is absent or Slack rejects it as invalid.

Extract the shared Slack DM readiness check.

Extract one helper, for example resolveSlackDmTarget(database, organizationId, userId), that returns the mapped Slack user id or a reason. Then dispatchSlackDmResult, slackDmAvailable, and the settings loader share one definition of "DM is possible".

71-71: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add an attempt cap or growing backoff for failed Slack DM deliveries.

retryAt is always now + 30s, and no code path moves a delivery to a terminal state after repeated transient failures. A recipient whose Slack workspace returns a persistent transient error keeps a row eligible forever, so the cron retries it every run indefinitely.

The claim ordering by attempts limits starvation of fresh work, so this is a growth and noise concern rather than a delivery failure. Consider a maximum attempt count that marks the row skipped, and a backoff derived from attempts.

191-214: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider a single claiming statement with FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED.

The claim loop issues one UPDATE ... RETURNING per candidate, so a full batch costs up to limit + 1 round trips per cron run. The per-row conditional predicates do prevent double claiming, so this is a throughput concern and not a correctness concern.

Postgres can express the same claim in one statement:

UPDATE notification_delivery d
SET status = 'processing', claimed_at = $now
WHERE d.id IN (
  SELECT id FROM notification_delivery
  WHERE channel = 'slack_dm' AND available_at <= $now
    AND (status IN ('pending','failed')
         OR (status = 'processing' AND claimed_at < $staleBefore))
  ORDER BY attempts, available_at, created_at
  LIMIT $limit
  FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED
)
RETURNING *;

SKIP LOCKED also removes lock waiting between concurrent workers.
