fix(slack): paginate the member channel lookup; structure member-rule denials - #151
Conversation
… denials Two further CodeRabbit findings, both verified against the code first. lookupChannelByName read only page one of users.conversations and ignored its cursor. That is not a performance detail: users.conversations is the *only* source that returns im and mpim conversations — the workspace fallback queries public_channel,private_channel and cannot see them at all — so a DM or group DM past the first 200 member conversations was simply unfindable by name. It now follows the cursor under the same page bound as the workspace scan, and reports a bounded member scan rather than falling through and reporting the channel as absent, which would read as "no such channel" when it means "I stopped looking". assertDmMemberAccess still threw a bare UserError, so diagnoseChannelAccess hit its non-denial branch and printed the raw sentence instead of routing through explainDenial — the one tool whose entire purpose is naming the rule and its remedy was the one place these three rules got no remedy. They now throw SlackAccessDenied with dm-org-not-allowed / group-dm-blacklist / group-dm-org and carry the offending team ID, so the explanation names the organisation and points at the right dashboard control. Message text is unchanged, so existing assertions and any caller that only prints them are unaffected. Org-name resolution keys off orgIds being present rather than the single org-not-allowed reason, so the two new org cases get named orgs too. The remaining bare-UserError branch in the tool is now genuinely for non-denial errors only (a missing rules record, say) and says "Could not evaluate" rather than dressing the failure up as a rule verdict.

In `@src/slack-user/server.ts`:
- Line 993: Update the channel lookup flow around the bounded member scan and
conversationsListAll so an empty bounded member result still proceeds to the
workspace scan. Preserve the member-scan bound as uncertainty only when neither
scan finds the channel, and extend ChannelLookup to identify which scan produced
that result so callers report the correct limit. Add a regression test covering
11 member pages with a matching workspace channel.

Regression introduced by the pagination fix in this PR. Returning early when the member scan hit its page bound skipped conversationsListAll entirely, so an account with more than DIAGNOSE_MAX_PAGES of member conversations could no longer discover a public or private channel it is not a member of — the exact case the workspace fallback exists for. The bound is now remembered rather than returned: the workspace scan always runs, and only if neither scan finds the channel does the uncertainty surface. ChannelLookup's scanBounded variant carries a `source`, because the caller was reporting a member-scan limit as "the first N pages of the workspace channel list" — naming the wrong list, which sends the user looking in the wrong place.

Follow-up to #150. CodeRabbit posted two further findings after that PR was merged, so they land separately. Both were verified against the code before fixing.
