Adds full Slack channel support across AlphaClaw — onboarding wizard, channel dashboard, pairings, gateway sync, watchdog notifications, and the channel creation modal. Slack uses Socket Mode which requires two tokens (Bot Token + App Token) rather than one. This is handled via a new `extraEnvKeys` property on channel definitions and dual-token logic in the gateway sync and onboarding flows. Changes: - Add Slack to channel definitions, env keys, and known vars - Add Slack Bot Token and App Token fields to onboarding wizard - Wire Slack into openclaw.json generation (fresh + import flows) - Handle dual-token channel sync in gateway (--bot-token / --app-token) - Use Object.keys(kChannelDefs) instead of hardcoded channel arrays - Add Slack to channel dashboard, pairings UI, and pairing routes - Add App Token field to create-channel modal (Slack is single-account) - Add watchdog crash notifications via Slack DM - Add slack-api.js (minimal Web API wrapper matching existing patterns) - Add Slack SVG icon - Update agents-service test for Slack channel account Ref: chrysb#8 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

sweet i've been wanting to get to this. thanks for your submission! will review |
Close Slack channel setup gaps by persisting app tokens in edit/manage flows, hiding managed Slack tokens from Envars, and enforcing single-account rules consistently in UI and server logic. Align channel add UX across views by reusing one add-menu codepath and tighten setup guidance copy.

This is awesome — thank you again for putting this together. 🙌 I pulled this in locally and made a few maintainer follow-ups to align with AlphaClaw UX patterns and close some edge cases before merge:
Huge thanks again for the contribution — this will ship in the next release. |

Summary
Adds full Slack channel support across AlphaClaw.
Slack uses Socket Mode, which requires two tokens (Bot Token
xoxb-+ App Tokenxapp-) instead of one. This is handled via a newextraEnvKeysproperty on channel definitions and dual-token logic throughout.What's included
--bot-token/--app-tokenCLI flags, env var replacement in openclaw.jsonmode: "socket"andgroupPolicy: "open"getChannelStatusnow usesObject.keys(kChannelDefs)instead of a hardcoded arraySlack app scopes
The Slack app needs these Bot Token Scopes:
app_mentions:read,channels:history,channels:read,chat:write,groups:history,im:history,im:read,im:write,mpim:history,reactions:read,reactions:write,users:readAnd one App-Level Token scope:
connections:writeFollow-up idea
Right now both Slack token fields show unconditionally in the onboarding wizard alongside Telegram and Discord. The wizard renderer doesn't support conditional field visibility, so a channel picker (tabs or dropdown that only shows fields for the selected channel) would clean this up. Leaving that for a separate PR to keep this one focused.
