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
