Agent Quick Fix

Repair against the current Slack Web API contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.

Product: Slack Web API
Current-contract area: Marketplace vs unlisted app policy branch
Likely root cause: Identical code passes in a Marketplace test app but fails in an unlisted commercial app.
Repair direction: Verifier checks backoff, pagination completeness, and installation-aware behavior under the current limits. Verify complete synchronization under each cohort without hard-coding one global throttle.

Symptom

Identical code passes in a Marketplace test app but fails in an unlisted commercial app.

Why This Happens

The code can work for existing/internal installations yet fail for newly created or unlisted apps; account cohort and current service policy are external.

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
