Notify Slack user groups from owner and subscriber @handles

[ofek1weiss]

Summary

• Resolve Slack user @Handles from profile.display_name instead of the Slack username.
• When a handle is not a user, resolve it to a Slack user group and render <!subteam^...>, so owner and subscriber mentions notify the group.
• User matches still win. A failed or unauthorized usergroups.list leaves the handle as plain text and does not block the alert.

Test plan

• Confirm the Slack app has the usergroups:read scope.
• Send an alert whose owner or subscriber is @<user display name> and confirm the user is mentioned.
• Send an alert whose owner or subscriber is @<user group handle> and confirm the group is mentioned.
• Send an alert with an unknown @handle and confirm the alert still sends with the handle as plain text.
• pytest tests/unit/messages/messaging_integrations/test_slack_web.py tests/unit/messages/formats/block_kit/test_block_kit.py

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Slack user-group handles resolve case-insensitively and appear as group mentions. User matches take priority, and group handles are looked up only when needed.
  • User-name lookups use profile display names instead of Slack usernames.
• Bug Fixes
  • User-group IDs are excluded from initial selections in user pickers; resolved user IDs remain available.
  • User resolution continues if Slack user-group lookup fails, using any groups retrieved before the error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Slack handle resolution now supports user-group handles and uses user profile display names for user matching. Block Kit formats resolved group IDs as Slack subteam mentions and excludes them from user-selector initial values.

Changes

Slack user-group mentions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve Slack handles elementary/messages/messaging_integrations/slack_web.py, tests/unit/messages/messaging_integrations/test_slack_web.py	User lookup uses profile display names. If no user matches, handle resolution falls back to a cached user-group map. Tests cover case-insensitive matching, user-match precedence, and listing failures.
Format resolved mentions elementary/messages/formats/block_kit.py, tests/unit/messages/formats/block_kit/test_block_kit.py, tests/unit/messages/messaging_integrations/test_slack_web.py	Block Kit formats group IDs as subteam mentions and omits them from user-selector initial values. Tests cover group and user formatting.

🟡 Minor · Add usergroups:read to the documented bot scopes. · slack_web.py:217-232

elementary/messages/messaging_integrations/slack_web.py:217-232
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add usergroups:read to the documented bot scopes.

When @handle does not resolve to a user and the token has only the documented scopes, usergroups.list can return missing_scope. The lookup catches the error and caches an empty group map. Block Kit then emits the original handle instead of Slack’s <!subteam^GROUP_ID> syntax, so Slack does not notify the group. Add the scope and reinstall the app so the token receives it.

Suggested fix

 - `users:read.email` - View email addresses of people in a workspace
+- `usergroups:read` - View user groups in a workspace
 - `groups:read` - View basic information about private channels that your slack app has been added to
