Slack IDs were accepted without checking whether they identify an active human. Add user resolve for IDs and emails. It uses direct Slack lookups and emits mentions only when the whole batch passes. Names and handles are rejected; no directory scan is used.

Addresses the ID and email cases in #129.
Problem
A valid-looking Slack ID may not identify an active human, and resolving targets one at a time can produce a partial mention batch. The previous safe resolver avoided that ambiguity by scanning every
users.listpage, but that turns a small identity check into 53-54 paginated requests in a large Enterprise Grid workspace.In a trailing-30-day local command-history audit, 16 of 29
user resolveinvocations (55%) ended in rate limiting. The successful scans consistently traversed 53-54 directory pages.Fix
Add
agent-slack user resolvefor batches of at most 20 canonical IDs and emails. It:auth.test;users.info;users.lookupByEmail;users.info;Names and handles remain rejected. This command never calls
users.list.Evidence
users.listcalls; duplicate emails and IDs do not add requests; oversized batches are rejected before Slack access.users.infoverification, and malformed edge/workspace IDs fail before credentials are sent.safe_to_mention: trueusing exactly two requests (bounded search plususers.info), with no directory pagination or rate-limit response.is_profile_only_user, batch bounds, and deduplication.This changes the rate-limit exposure from O(directory pages) to O(unique requested identities), capped at 20 identities. Slack applies rate limits per method/workspace/app, so removing the 53-54-page
users.listscan is the material fix for the observed pattern: https://docs.slack.dev/apis/web-api/rate-limits/
