ForgeBot Slack Skill Test Results

Contract tests

5 / 5

Read-only helper behavior passes, including the new pagination-based message-count contract.

Scaffold test

1 / 1

The Vitest scaffold check passes when run with the correct Vitest runner.

Live Slack tests

0 / 9

Every live read test stops at the same root cause: no usable Slack token in this shell and Doppler reports no token.

What changed

Area	Result	Files
Message count	Added `countChannelMessages()`, paginating `conversations.history` until Slack returns no cursor.	`.forgebot/skills/slack/scripts/legacy/slack-readonly.ts`
CLI command	Added `slack-readonly count <channel-id>` to print `totalMessages`.	`.forgebot/skills/slack/scripts/legacy/slack-readonly.ts`
Contract test	Added a fake-fetch pagination test proving the method totals messages across multiple pages and sends the default channel ID.	`.forgebot/skills/slack/tests/legacy/slack-readonly-contract.test.ts`
Live tests	Expanded live tests for token presence, `auth.test`, `users.info`, `conversations.info`, `conversations.history`, `conversations.replies`, `conversations.members`, message count, and channel search.	`.forgebot/skills/slack/tests/legacy/slack-readonly-live.test.ts`

Restart answer

Slack desktop: no. Restarting Slack.app will not change a bot token or app scopes.
forgebot-mini host: no, not for normal credential/scope refresh.
Hermes gateway: yes, after Doppler secrets, Slack app tokens, launchd plist wiring, or Hermes Slack config changes. The running gateway reads its environment at process start.
Slack app permissions: after changing scopes, reinstall/reauthorize the Slack app, then restart the Hermes gateway so it uses the new token/scope set.

Current blocker

The checked runtime has a running com.forgefx.hermes-gateway launch agent, but the loaded plist is not the Doppler-backed com.forgefx.hermes-doppler service. The shell also cannot authenticate Doppler. That explains why repo live tests cannot pull Slack credentials even though this Slack conversation can still route through the gateway.
