…saging The looksLikeSlackTargetId function was incorrectly treating channel names like #general as IDs, bypassing directory lookup. This caused cross-account messaging to fail with 'channel_not_found' because: 1. User in Workspace B sends to #main (channel in Workspace A) 2. #main was treated as an ID (not resolved via directory) 3. Slack API received '#main' instead of the actual channel ID 4. Error: channel_not_found The fix: - Only treat #/@ prefixed strings as IDs if followed by valid Slack ID pattern - Channel names (#general, #main) now go through directory lookup - Directory lookup uses the correct accountId to fetch channels from the right workspace Also added: - Debug logging for cross-account send troubleshooting - Unit tests for looksLikeSlackTargetId behavior Fixes openclaw#8018

[P2] The new verbose log includes accountId / resolvedAccountId on every directory lookup. If logVerbose is enabled in prod, this can add a lot of log volume during paginated users.list / conversations.list calls; consider gating to only log when token is missing or when params.accountId differs from account.accountId to keep logs actionable.
Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

[P3] The regexes now accept lowercase IDs because of the /i flag. Slack IDs are typically uppercase; if lowercase input should not be treated as an ID (and instead go through directory resolution), consider dropping /i so #c123... doesn’t bypass lookup unexpectedly.

[P0] `logVerbose` is imported but never used in this file, which will fail lint/TS builds if you have `noUnusedLocals`/lint rules enabled.

Comment:
[P2] `logVerbose` logs the raw `to` value. If callers pass user-provided text here, this can leak internal channel/user names into logs; consider logging the normalized/parsed recipient kind + id instead (or redacting) so verbose logs stay safe to enable.

Greptile Overview
Greptile Summary
Fixes Slack target normalization so
#channel/@usernames no longer get misclassified as IDs in multi-workspace setups.looksLikeSlackTargetIdnow only treats#/@-prefixed strings as IDs when they match Slack ID patterns (e.g.#C…,@U…), which ensures directory lookup runs with the specifiedaccountIdand resolves to the correct workspace’s channel/user IDs. Adds unit tests for the new ID-vs-name behavior and introduces additional verbose debug logs in Slack directory token resolution and Slack send path.Confidence Score: 4/5
logVerboseimport in target-resolver which can break CI/lint. Added logging appears non-functional but may increase log volume / leak identifiers when verbose is enabled.(2/5) Greptile learns from your feedback when you react with thumbs up/down!
