* feat: add optional Slack Assistants API typing status indicator
Mirrors OpenClaw's pragmatic approach: instead of rebuilding around
assistant_thread_started events, just opt into assistants.threads.setStatus
to show 'is thinking…' while the agent is working, and clear it when
post_slack_thread_reply lands. Gated behind SLACK_ASSISTANTS_API_ENABLED so
it can be toggled without touching code.
* fix(slack): drop redundant clear, add status heartbeat across model calls
- Slack auto-clears the typing indicator on bot post; remove the explicit
assistants.threads.setStatus("") call from post_slack_thread_reply.
- The indicator expires after ~2 minutes; add a before_model middleware
that refreshes it on every model tick so it stays visible across long
agent runs. Reuses the existing slack_thread.{channel_id,thread_ts}
configurable already plumbed for notify_step_limit.
- chat:write is sufficient on the bot token (assistant:write is on the
way out per Slack docs); no scope or app-config change required.
* feat(slack): contextual status text + rotating loading_messages
- set_slack_assistant_status now accepts an optional loading_messages list
(capped at 10 per Slack's API), surfaced via the assistants.threads.setStatus
payload so Slack rotates through them client-side.
- The heartbeat middleware derives a contextual status from the last
assistant message's tool calls (e.g. "searching the codebase…" after
grep, "running commands…" after execute), falling back to the default
"is thinking…" when no tool calls or unknown tool name.
- Adds a curated DEFAULT_LOADING_MESSAGES list passed alongside the
contextual status on each refresh.

* feat: only post Slack 'Working on it!' on first thread mention
* feat: randomize Slack trace reply phrase
Pick from a small list of friendly phrases instead of always saying
'Working on it!' so the bot feels less robotic. Explicit messages (e.g.
'Taking a look...' from PR review path) are unaffected.
* adjust phrases

The agent sees users formatted as @Name(USER_ID) in conversation context and
reproduces that pattern in replies, but Slack requires <@USER_ID> for real
mentions. This adds automatic conversion and updates prompt instructions.
