WS Slack-UX Feature 1. A /new-task task now maps to ONE Slack thread instead of
several top-level messages.
- /new-task posts an immediate root "📥 Task received: …" ack and captures its
ts (root_ts); this is the instant acknowledgement.
- root_ts is plumbed into start: new PipelineState/TaskRecord channel
slack_thread_ts, seeded by graph.start_task and threaded through
Coordinator.start_task. The NewTaskCallback is now (task_text, via, root_ts).
- All clarifier questions for the task post as THREADED REPLIES under root_ts
(chat.postMessage thread_ts=root_ts), and each question's ledger channel_ref
is set to root_ts (NOT the reply's own ts). Because answer-mapping resolves a
reply via find_open_question_by_channel_ref(thread_ts), a reply in the root
thread (thread_ts==root_ts) maps to the task's currently-open question with NO
change to the mapping logic or the first-answer-wins CAS. The open-only
partial-unique index still holds (one open question per task at a time).
- Lifecycle milestones (parked / plan-ready / needs-input) and follow-up
questions thread under root_ts too; the notify sink gained an optional
thread_ts kwarg (degrades to top-level on a sink that doesn't accept it).
notify failures still never break tick.
- SlackTransport.post_question + the live poster accept/forward thread_ts.
- No root_ts (non-/new-task origin) ⇒ top-level posts exactly as before.
AUTHZ-01 (owner-allowlist-first, fail-closed) and the atomic open→answered
compare-and-set are unchanged.
Adds plumbing for the inbound-ack reactor seam used by Feature 2 (dormant until
a reactor is injected). Tests cover thread_ts forwarding, channel_ref=root_ts,
graph seeding, and coordinator threading.
/new-task (and every intake: GitHub issue, /sh-assign-task) reached the clarifier
with NO description -> the clarifier asked 'no task description provided'. Root
cause: coordinator.start_task only LOGGED task_text (a P1-era decision when the
deterministic clarifier didn't consume a description), graph.start_task took no
task arg, and PipelineState/TaskRecord had no 'task' channel at all.
Fix: add a first-class 'task' field to PipelineState + TaskRecord (+ round-trip
in task_from_dict); graph.start_task seeds task into the initial invoke (persists
through intake_node's partial-state return into CLARIFY); coordinator.start_task
passes task=task_text. The clarifier already reads state['task'] via
_task_description, so it now sees the real description.
Test: start_task(task='build a login form') -> suspended CLARIFY state carries
task. 1143 passed, ruff clean.
