### New Features

#### Slack Integration

\_View the documentations for slack integration at \_

Connect Oxygen agents directly to your Slack workspace:

* **@oxy Mentions** - Interact with Oxygen agents through @oxy mentions in any channel with automatic threaded responses

* **AI/Agent Sidebar** - Direct messaging support using Slack's native streaming APIs for real-time responses

* **Conversation Context** - Maintains conversation history (last 10 messages) for coherent multi-turn interactions

* **Deep Links** - Responses include links back to the Oxygen web app for detailed exploration
  **Slack Commands:**

* `/oxy bind [project_id] [agent_id]` - Override the default agent for a specific channel

* `/oxy unbind` - Revert to the default agent configured in config.yml

* `/oxy [query]` - Send queries directly without @mentions
  **User & Channel Management:**

* Automatic Slack-to-Oxygen user identity linking via email matching with fallback to default user

* Channel-to-project bindings with per-channel agent configuration

* Thread-to-session mapping for conversation continuity across messages
  Configuration example:

yaml

`slack:  default_agent: data-analyst.agent.yml  oxy_app_url: https://company.oxygen-hq.com  bot_token_var: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN  signing_secret_var: SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`

#### Enhanced Consistency Testing

Customizable prompt consistency checks for more reliable agent testing:

* **Customizable Prompts** - Define your own consistency checking prompts tailored to your specific use cases
* **Improved Default Prompt** - More lenient default prompt that covers additional edge cases and reduces false positives. View the default prompt for consistency testing \[here
* **Flexible Validation** - Better handling of responses with varying levels of detail while maintaining accuracy requirements
  This update prevents unnecessary test failures when responses contain consistent information presented with different levels of detail or formatting.

### Platform Improvements

* **Chart Date Handling** - Added proper date and time handling for Apache Arrow data types in bar and line charts, enabling correct formatting of temporal data in visualizations
* **Dependencies Update** - Added apache-arrow 17.0.0 dependency and updated all dependencies to latest versions for improved performance and security
