Additional improvements

• Faster onboarding in Slack: Go from request to coding session with fewer steps. @GitHub now identifies the repository from your message and launches your session without requiring you to select it again. Getting started is also easier when you're not signed in, don't have a default repository, want to switch repositories, or need app access.
• More reliable conversations: Fixed an issue that could prevent responses to follow-up messages, helping you keep work moving.
• Clearer attribution: Issues and pull requests created by @GitHub now include "Created from a Slack/Teams conversation with @username" in their description, identifying the original requester without exposing conversation links.
