Multiple Slack Bot Instances
============================
Deploy multiple agents as separate Slack bots in one workspace.
Each bot has its own identity, token, and signing secret.
Setup:
1. Create two Slack apps at https://api.slack.com/apps
2. Install both apps to the same workspace
3. Set each app's Event Subscription URL to its prefix:
- @ResearchBot -> https://myapp.com/research/events
- @AnalystBot -> https://myapp.com/analyst/events
4. Set environment variables (or pass tokens directly):
RESEARCH_SLACK_TOKEN, RESEARCH_SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET
ANALYST_SLACK_TOKEN, ANALYST_SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET
Slack scopes (per app): app_mentions:read, assistant:write, chat:write, im:history
