[snomiao]

Summary

Applied Slack Bolt best practices from the official assistant template to improve code organization, maintainability, and testability.

Changes Made

Code Organization

• Reduced bot/index.ts from 1368 → 1265 lines (7.5% reduction)
• Created 7 new organized modules (468 lines total)
• Established clear separation of concerns

New Modules

• bot/utils/helpers.ts - Utility functions (sleep, commonPrefix, sanitized)
• bot/utils/working_tasks.ts - Working tasks state management
• bot/listeners/index.ts - Central listener registration hub
• bot/listeners/events/index.ts - Event registration
• bot/listeners/events/app_mention.ts - @mention handler
• bot/listeners/events/message.ts - DM and message handler
• bot/middleware/error_handler.ts - Error handling middleware

Key Improvements

• ✅ Listener-based architecture with single responsibility per file
• ✅ Dependency injection pattern for testability
• ✅ Factory pattern for configurable handlers
• ✅ Comprehensive error handling with retry logic
• ✅ Type safety with exported reusable types

Preserved Functionality

• ✅ RestartManager (smart restart when idle)
• ✅ Working tasks state management (resume functionality)
• ✅ Health check system
• ✅ Agent spawning with claude-yes
• ✅ Terminal output streaming
• ✅ All existing features intact

Documentation

Testing Checklist

Manual testing recommended:
