Promote v1.20.1

Frozen at 7d56d859e3c93b286c06e912da71711f48dad706 — the commit where 1.20.1 was versioned. Commits merged to develop afterward require an explicit candidate refresh or ship in the next release.

• Merge this PR with a merge commit (do not squash or rebase).
• If multiple promote PRs are open, merge them in version order (oldest first).
• Monitor CI and reviews on this PR's current head, not only the release-preparation PR. Unresolved findings and missing required approvals remain blockers even with green CI.
• After a refresh or CI reconciliation, re-check the new head; monitoring never authorizes merging or publication.
• Merging publishes a GitHub Release for v1.20.1 and triggers the existing GHCR v* image publish (latest channel).
• The release/v1.20.1 branch can be deleted after this PR merges.

Changelog

1.20.1 (2026-11-05)

Roomote 1.20.1 restores reliable Copilot task helpers, keeps Slack history reads useful in busy channels, and clarifies how agents carry out Slack replies and GitHub actions.

Highlights

• Restore GitHub Copilot GPT-5.x task helpers that failed on an unsupported endpoint.
• Keep available Slack history when a busy channel cannot be read completely in one request.
• Avoid false lost-access reports for private Slack conversations and false refusals of authorized GitHub actions.

Patch changes

• GitHub Copilot GPT-5.x task helpers use the correct inference endpoint instead of failing on requests sent to an unsupported endpoint.
• Coding tasks recognize their authorized GitHub write path when integration tools are read-only, avoiding false refusals to carry out requested pull request updates, comments, or workflow actions.
• Slack channel history reads return accumulated messages with explicit partial-result and continuation information instead of timing out and losing all results in busy channels.
• Slack destination guidance distinguishes unlisted private channels from lost access and directs replies, including automation results, to the current conversation without requiring standalone channel discovery.

Reviewed the release diff, including Slack deadline propagation, independent history/size continuations, API and sandbox forwarding, Copilot provider activation, GitHub tool guidance, and documentation. The earlier Slack continuation and deadline fixes are present.

Current-head CI: lint, type checking, Knip, docs validation, upgrade compatibility, and backup/restore checks passed. The PR CI test job and app/worker Docker builds are still running. The Copilot subscription transport test is opt-in; this review does not establish a live-provider test result. Repository validation was left to CI. No approval submitted.
