cover key entirely, or update the blog rendering template to guard against empty

the "✅ Test Run Completed" and "❌ Test Run Failed" examples to include a
language specifier (e.g., ```text) so markdownlint recognizes the block
language.
- Line 177: The documentation currently shows the command string "/invite `@QA`
Studio" which is invalid because Slack `@mentions` do not support spaces; update
the blog text (the offending string "/invite `@QA` Studio" in
src/md/blog/2026/02/slack-notifications-test-results.md) to use the bot's actual
no-space handle (for example "/invite `@qa-studio`" or "/invite `@qa_studio`") or
replace the inline example with a short instruction to use Slack's autocomplete
picker instead of typing the full name; ensure the replacement preserves the
surrounding explanatory sentence and formatting.
- Around line 68-74: The documented OAuth scopes currently include chat:write
but the code in src/lib/server/integrations.ts sends notifications solely via
incoming webhooks (it reads config.incomingWebhook.url and POSTs directly), so
remove chat:write from the setup instructions or explicitly mark it as
optional/for-future-use; update the markdown block in
src/md/blog/2026/02/slack-notifications-test-results.md to delete the
`chat:write` bullet (or append “optional for future extensibility”) to keep
scopes aligned with the implementation in integrations.ts.

cover: '' — missing cover image may render an empty/broken image slot.

If the blog template doesn't gracefully handle an empty cover, this will leave a broken image element. Either supply an image path or confirm the template safely omits it when blank.

- Remove chat:write from OAuth scopes (implementation uses incoming webhooks only)
- Cover: no change needed - template already guards empty cover with {#if post.cover}

- **Instant visibility**: Team members see pass/fail status the moment it happens
- **Contextual awareness**: Notifications appear in the right channels (e.g., `#qa-team`, `#releases`)

"View Details" links to the test run, not the failing test.

Line 34 says the button goes "straight to the failing test," but line 149 correctly describes it as going to the test run. Update line 34 for consistency.

✏️ Proposed fix
-- **One-click access**: "View Details" buttons take you straight to the failing test
+- **One-click access**: "View Details" buttons take you straight to the test run

"(optional)" in the table is ambiguous.

It's unclear whether this means the notification is disabled by default, configurable in settings, or simply not required for the typical workflow. A short qualifier (e.g., "disabled by default" or "can be enabled in Settings") would prevent reader confusion.

Verify Discord invite link expiration.

The Discord link at line 204 is present, but Discord invite links expire by default unless configured with "never expire" in server settings. Have a Discord admin confirm https://discord.gg/rw3UfdB9pN is permanent, or replace it with one that is—otherwise readers will hit a dead link after expiry.
