Smarter slash command mute search
  • ✨ Added /gitnotifier connect so users can launch the GitHub connect flow directly from Slack with a one-click Connect GitHub button.
  • ✨ New command: /gitnotifier emoji me and /gitnotifier emoji @user to generate a custom emoji-ready profile image download link directly in Slack.
  • ✨ Improved /gitnotifier mute so it can resolve open PRs by title search text (for example ticket IDs or short phrases) when no explicit PR reference is provided.
    • 🔎 When multiple open PRs match, GitNotifier now shows up to 3 candidates and asks you to pick one explicitly or refine the search.
  • 🔕 Added team-level mute rules in Slack App Home (Mute settings) so users can mute review requests for specific GitHub teams (for example @chapter-nodejs).
    • When a PR is review-requested to a muted team, GitNotifier now auto-mutes that PR for the user.
    • Direct GitHub @mentions still notify the user.
