  fileIds: [fileInfo.id]
});
```

---

## Interactive Directives

Interactive directives allow you to embed buttons and dropdowns in messages using a special syntax. These are parsed and converted to Mattermost interactive components.

### Button Directive

Syntax:
```
[[mattermost_buttons: Label1:value1:style1, Label2:value2:style2, ...]]
```

**Format:**
- `Label`: Display text on the button (max 30 chars)
- `value`: Value sent when button is clicked
- `style`: Button style - `default`, `primary`, or `danger` (optional, defaults to `default`)

**Maximum:** 5 buttons per directive

**Example:**

```typescript
const message = `
Please review this request:

[[mattermost_buttons: 
  Approve:approve_request:primary, 
  Reject:reject_request:danger, 
  Review Later:review_later:default
]]
`;

await sendMessage({ cfg: openclawConfig, channelId: 'channel123', message });
```

---

### Select/Dropdown Directive

Syntax:
```
[[mattermost_select: Placeholder | Label1:value1, Label2:value2, ...]]
```

**Format:**
- `Placeholder`: Text shown when nothing selected (optional, defaults to "Choose an option")
- `Label`: Display text for the option
- `value`: Value sent when option is selected

**Maximum:** 100 options per directive

**Example:**

```typescript
const message = `
Select a priority level:

[[mattermost_select: 
  Select Priority | 
  Low:low, 
  Medium:medium, 
  High:high, 
  Critical:critical
]]
`;

await sendMessage({ cfg: openclawConfig, channelId: 'channel123', message });
```

---

### Multiple Directives

You can combine multiple directives in a single message:

```typescript
const message = `
Deployment ready for production.

[[mattermost_buttons: Deploy:deploy:primary, Cancel:cancel:danger]]

Select deployment region:
[[mattermost_select: Choose Region | US East:us-east, US West:us-west, EU:eu, APAC:apac]]
`;
```

---

### Handling Interactions

When a user interacts with buttons or selects, Mattermost sends a callback to your configured `interactions.callbackBaseUrl`:

```json
{
  "type": "button" | "select",
  "value": "the_button_or_option_value",
  "user_id": "mattermost_user_id",
  "channel_id": "channel_id",
  "post_id": "original_post_id",
  "context": { ... }
}
```

**Configuration:**

```json
{
  "channels": {
    "mattermost": {
      "interactions": {
        "callbackBaseUrl": "https://your-bot.example.com/callbacks",
        "allowedSourceIps": ["10.0.0.0/8", "192.168.1.0/24"]
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Error Handling

### Error Classes

All errors extend `MattermostError` with structured information:

```typescript
class MattermostError extends Error {
  readonly code: ErrorCode;
  readonly context: ErrorContext;
  readonly retryable: boolean;
  readonly userMessage: string;
  readonly retryAfterMs?: number;
  
  toJSON(): Record<string, unknown>;
  toLogString(): string;
}
```

### Using Error Boundaries

```typescript
import { globalErrorBoundary, MattermostError } from '@lumbridgecorp/openclaw-mattermost';

// Register error handler
const unsubscribe = globalErrorBoundary.onError((error) => {
  if (error instanceof MattermostError) {
    console.error(`[${error.code}] ${error.toLogString()}`);
    
    if (error.retryable) {
      console.log(`Retry after: ${error.retryAfterMs}ms`);
    }
  }
});

// Wrap operations
const safeOperation = globalErrorBoundary.wrap(
  riskyOperation,
  'my-operation',
  { accountId: 'default' }
);

// Later: unsubscribe
disunsubscribe();
```

### Retry Configuration

```typescript
import { withRetry } from '@lumbridgecorp/openclaw-mattermost';

const result = await withRetry(
  'my-operation',
  async () => {
    // Your operation here
    return await someApiCall();
  },
  {
    maxRetries: 5,
    initialDelayMs: 1000,
    maxDelayMs: 30000,
    timeoutMs: 60000,
    onRetry: ({ attempt, maxRetries, delayMs, error }) => {
      console.log(`Retry ${attempt}/${maxRetries} after ${delayMs}ms: ${error.message}`);
    }
  }
);
```

  account: ResolvedMattermostAccount
});
```

**Returns:** Array of `SecurityAuditFinding`:

```typescript
type SecurityAuditFinding = {
