Conversation
Adds edit_chat_platform_message, a proactive-output tool mirroring post_to_chat_platform: given the channel_id/ref_id that call returned, it edits the message in place on Discord, Slack, Telegram, or Teams. Editing is feasible on all four bot platforms via their own APIs (Discord message.edit, Slack chat.update, Telegram editMessageText, Teams Bot Connector updateActivity), each already restricted by the platform to messages the bot itself posted. Authorization mirrors post_to_chat_platform: the caller-supplied channel_id is never trusted outright — it's re-checked against the user's linked servers (channel) or re-derived from their DM link (dm) before the adapter is called. Every failure mode (unsupported platform, message not found, edit rejected) is a distinct machine-readable code surfaced back to the model, never a silent no-op.
Picks up the new chat_platform_edited response type from the backend tool schema, plus already-live copilot webhook routes the last regen predated.

Return editable message references for Discord and Telegram thread posts.
When post_to_chat_platform creates a thread, Discord returns the thread ID instead of the posted body message ID. Telegram returns the chat target instead of the posted message_id. Subsequent edits therefore target the wrong provider object. Return the body message ID as ref_id, use the Discord thread channel ID as channel_id, and preserve the Telegram chat/topic target as channel_id. Add tests that post and edit a thread on both adapters.

Map Teams 404 responses to EditOutcome.NOT_FOUND
When the Connector returns 404 for the PUT .../activities/{activity_id} request, TeamsClient._request raises TeamsApiError, which TeamsAdapter.edit_channel_message currently maps to FAILED. The outbound mapper then returns edit_failed instead of message_not_found. Expose the response status on TeamsApiError and map only 404 responses to EditOutcome.NOT_FOUND; keep other errors as FAILED.

Require ownership of the original message before dispatching the edit.
An authenticated user in a shared linked server can supply another account’s bot ref_id. outbound.edit_message checks only channel or DM access before calling the adapter. It does not bind ref_id to the user who created the message.
Persist {platform, channel_id, ref_id, user_id} when posting, or return a signed opaque reference. Require an exact user match before the adapter call. Add a two-user shared-server regression test that requires not_authorized and no adapter call.

The previous regen was fetched from a local dev server with real AUTOPILOT_BOT_* / MICROSOFT_* credentials configured, which mounts the Slack/Telegram/Teams webhook routes (backend/copilot/bot/webhook_routes.py gates them on those env vars). CI's export-api-schema runs without those secrets, so its canonical spec never has them - the extra untagged routes broke orval's codegen (endpoints/default/default.ts came out importing `useCallback` from "react" on top of a colliding local declaration), failing the frontend Docker build in "end-to-end tests" and both "Build, smoke, and scan" jobs, and "check API types" flagged the drift. Regenerated via `poetry run export-api-schema` with the bot secrets unset to match CI's environment; only the chat_platform_edited addition from the previous commit remains.
- discord: move _resolve_channel's int() conversions inside the try block and catch ValueError, so a non-snowflake channel_id (reachable via edit_chat_platform_message, which unlike the proactive-post resolver never pre-validated the id shape) returns a clean channel_not_found instead of an uncaught exception. - teams: expose TeamsApiError.status_code so edit_channel_message can map a Connector 404 to EditOutcome.NOT_FOUND instead of always FAILED. - teams: percent-encode activity_id (an AutoPilot-tool-supplied ref_id with no id grammar of its own) as a single path segment before building the updateActivity URL, and reject a bare "."/"..", closing a path-traversal bug that could redirect the PUT to a different conversation/activity than the one edit_message authorized. conversation_id is left as-is: by the time it reaches here it's already a real Teams-issued id (open_dm_channel's return, exactly matched by outbound.edit_message's DM check), and those ids contain ":"/"@"/";"/"=" that blanket-encoding would risk mangling. Two other findings (Discord/Telegram thread posts returning the wrong ref_id; an IDOR letting any user linked to the same shared server edit another user's message by channel_id+ref_id alone) are confirmed valid but not fixed here - see the PR discussion.

Why / What / How
Why: AutoPilot can post to Discord/Slack/Telegram/Teams via
post_to_chat_platform, but has no way to fix or update what it already posted (a typo, a stale status line in a scheduled standup post, etc.) — it can only post a brand-new message.What: Adds
edit_chat_platform_message, a new AutoPilot tool mirroringpost_to_chat_platform. Given thechannel_id/ref_ida priorpost_to_chat_platformcall returned (plus the sameplatform/target), it edits that message in place with newcontent. Feasible on all four bot platforms:Message.edit()chat.updateeditMessageTextupdateActivity(newTeamsClient.update_activity)Each platform's own API already restricts edits to messages the bot itself sent, so no new authorization primitive was needed there.
How:
PlatformAdaptergets a newedit_channel_message(channel_id, ref_id, text) -> EditOutcome(OK/UNSUPPORTED/NOT_FOUND/FAILED), implemented per adapter.outbound.edit_message()mirrorsdeliver_message/deliver_dm's authorization: the caller-suppliedchannel_idis never trusted outright — fortarget='channel'it's re-checked against the user's linked servers, and fortarget='dm'it's re-derived from the user's own DM link and required to match.CoPilotChatBridge.edit_message_in_channelexposes this over RPC, andEditChatPlatformMessageTool(edit_chat_platform_message) is the new AutoPilot-facing tool, registered inTOOL_REGISTRYandpermissions.py. Every failure mode (unsupported platform, message not found/too old, edit rejected, not authorized) is a distinct machine-readable error code surfaced back to the model — never a silent no-op.Changes 🏗️

For code changes:
poetry run format/ruff check/black --checkclean on all changed filespoetry run pyrightclean on all changed filespoetry run test— 680 passed, 0 failed (adapter edit-path tests for all 4 platforms,outbound.edit_messageauthorization tests, tool-level tests,permissions_test.pyregistry-sync test,tool_schema_test.pychar-budget)docker compose up -d --build) boots clean on this branch — no import/crash errors from the new codeedit_chat_platform_messagedirectly; the LLM found and invoked the new tool with the given params, and the failure (bridge'sbotcompose profile isn't started on this dev stack) surfaced as a clear, structured error rather than crashing or going silent — screenshots in~/work/evidence/botcompose profile (which holds real bot tokens for this VM) was deliberately not started for this — doing so would put a live bot online on a real server, which is outside what this worker session is authorized to do. Positive-path platform behavior is covered by mocked adapter unit tests matching each platform's documented API shape.Test plan
