Name of an existing Slack channel Traversal has been added to.

How Traversal is wired into a chat channel.

Stored as slack_channel_enrollments.mode. A channel with no enrollment row is implicitly MANUAL; storing an explicit MANUAL row lets the channel carry per-channel state (like custom_instruction) without enabling auto-triggers. Removing a channel from Channel Management entirely is a separate act (archiving the enrollment), not a mode.

READ_ONLY is the one mode that suppresses outbound behavior rather than selecting a flavor of it: Traversal keeps ingesting and storing every message, and answers every interactive surface with a fixed notice instead of doing work. It is only offered while its organization's gate is on -- see engagement_policy. Existing READ_ONLY channels keep the mode when that gate is turned back off, so nothing starts talking again behind a customer's back.

Free-form per-channel instruction. Omit (null) to leave the existing value unchanged; pass a non-empty string to overwrite it.
