Connected-but-not-replying recovery

Use this page when the bot or channel appears connected but users still are not getting the replies they expect.

RuleDo not escalate into deeper runtime or source work until the policy and context checks are done first.

Separate the small failures before you touch bigger layers

  1. Split transport/auth from policy/visibility problems
  2. Confirm that connected really means connected
  3. Separate DM from shared-space context
  4. Check pairing, mention gating, and allowlists
  5. Only then branch into channel-specific gotchas
  6. Verify the actual reply behavior that was broken
