Channel Management

Manages communication channels, admin identity recognition, trusted contacts, and primary channel configuration.

Gotchas

Primary channel cannot be set to "matrix" — Matrix DM is the default fallback. Use --action reset to revert to it
Unknown senders in group rooms must be silently ignored — no response at all, until admin explicitly approves them as trusted contacts
Trusted contacts must never receive sensitive info — no API keys, tokens, passwords, Worker credentials, or internal config. No management operations either
When calling message tool from a Matrix session, you MUST explicitly set channel and target — otherwise the message goes to the current Matrix room instead of the primary channel
to field in primary-channel.json maps to target parameter in message tool — pass the value directly, no transformation needed
First-contact protocol: always ask in admin's language — match the language they used in their message
Task dispatch must go to Worker Room, not admin DM — when assigning tasks to Workers, use the task-management skill's send protocol (runtime-aware: hiclaw get managers -o json for runtime, then message tool or copaw channels send per finite/infinite references). Never embed @worker task assignments in admin DM replies.
