Gabi Simons c36f0c6b36 fix(setup): wire Slack agent during setup like Discord/Telegram
Slack setup previously stopped after installing the adapter, leaving
users to manually discover /init-first-agent. When they DM'd the bot,
the channel-approval flow silently failed because no owner existed.

Now the Slack setup flow matches Discord/Telegram:
- Collects the operator's Slack member ID
- Opens a DM channel via conversations.open (requires im:write scope)
- Runs init-first-agent to establish ownership, wiring, and welcome DM
- Updates post-install note to focus on webhook URL (the only remaining step)

The welcome DM is delivered via chat.postMessage (outbound), which works
before Event Subscriptions are configured. The user sees the greeting
immediately; inbound replies require webhooks.

/**
* Slack channel flow for setup:auto.
*
* `runSlackChannel(displayName)` owns the full branch from creating a
* Slack app through the welcome DM:
*
* 1. Walk through creating a Slack app (api.slack.com/apps) — scopes,
* event subscriptions, and signing secret
* 2. Paste the bot token + signing secret (clack password prompts)
* 3. Validate via auth.test → resolves workspace + bot identity
* 4. Install the adapter (setup/add-slack.sh, non-interactive)
* 5. Ask for the operator's Slack user ID
* 6. conversations.open to get the DM channel ID
* 7. Ask for the messaging-agent name (defaulting to "Nano")
* 8. Wire the agent via scripts/init-first-agent.ts
*
* The welcome DM is sent via outbound delivery (chat.postMessage), which
* works without Event Subscriptions being configured. The user sees the
* greeting in Slack immediately; inbound replies require webhooks, so the
* post-install note covers that.
*
* All output obeys the three-level contract. See docs/setup-flow.md.
