Slack

• Replying to a running session now steers that session instead of starting a second one. Previously a mid-task correction raced its own original, and both runs answered.
• Added live session activity in the thread. A running session now names what it is working on as it goes, and finishes as a plain answer with a link to the session. Requires a paid Slack plan.
• Simplified how Ara talks in Slack: no status badges or button rows, just a sentence, the answer, and a link to the session.
• Fixed the sender details on Slack-started sessions. A session opened from Slack now records the name, email, and avatar of the person who asked for it, instead of leaving them blank.
• Fixed the channel name shown on Slack-started sessions, which previously fell back to no channel at all.

• Bound each connected Slack team to one Ara workspace.
• Added sessions from channels and threads by mentioning @Ara.
• Kept follow-up replies and session progress in the same Slack thread.
• Linked Slack-origin session messages back to their exact channel message.

Open Plugins in your Ara workspace to connect Slack.
