Documents the fix for intermittent message drops in passive-listening Slack channels. This bug was introduced in April 2026 and affected standalone channel messages (the primary use case for passive listening). Thread replies in bot-initiated threads were not affected.

Documents fix for intermittent message drops in passive-listening channels.

* **Slack Passive Listening Reliability:** Fixed an issue where standalone messages in passive-listening channels were intermittently not triggering documentation updates. Thread replies in bot-initiated threads were unaffected.

* **Bot-Authored Commit Evaluation:** Fixed Promptless skipping GitHub commits authored by bot accounts—such as paper-style editors and headless writers that push human-written content under a bot identity—regardless of the diff. Promptless now evaluates these commits based on the diff content, just as it does for human-authored commits. PR and issue comments from bot accounts remain filtered as before.

PR #3295 fixes the slack_thread_has_newer_user_messages function in runtime/triggers/slack/listen.py which wasn't filtering by timestamp. The exec plan in the PR describes the bug: standalone user messages in passive-listening channels were intermittently dropped since April 2026 when Slack returned the parent message in the replies response.
