feat(mattermost): interactive permission-request buttons (Approve/Deny, slash-confirm, clarify)

[hermesnzl]

Summary

Mattermost was the only major chat platform without native interactive buttons for the agent's permission/confirmation prompts. This adds them to the Mattermost adapter, mirroring the proven WhatsApp Cloud clickback pattern (gateway/platforms/whatsapp_cloud.py).

• send_exec_approval() - Approve / Deny buttons for permission requests (e.g. terminal command approval), resolved via tools.approval.
• send_slash_confirm() - Approve Once / Always Approve / Cancel buttons, resolved via tools.slash_confirm.
• send_clarify() - multiple-choice buttons, resolved via tools.clarify_gateway.

Threading requirement

Prompts AND their click outcomes are posted in the SAME thread as the originating message (using root_id from the message metadata), so a permission request never spawns a stray top-level post.

Mechanism

Each button carries an action_id encoding the pending request (appr::approve|deny, sc:<once|always|cancel>:, cl::<idx|other>) and an integration.url pointing at a small loopback aiohttp callback server started in connect() (default http://127.0.0.1:8731/mattermost/actions). The handler parses the click, resolves the pending request, and posts the outcome in the same thread. Fails soft if the port can't bind.

Test plan

• 19 unit checks pass (method binding, action_id encoding, router prefix dispatch, stale-click rejection, helper truncation/eviction).
• Verified the adapter imports and all interactive methods bind under the real Hermes environment.

Competing Mattermost interactive-action work: #26537 uses an earlier standalone callback server, while #29373 uses WebhookAdapter reuse and covers clarify. This PR's threaded clarify scope is related rather than duplicate; a maintainer should select the implementation.

Thanks for adding native Mattermost controls. The capability is still absent on current main, but this revision has blockers.

Problems

• plugins/platforms/mattermost/adapter.py:1471-1478 does not accept allow_permanent or smart_denied; current gateway/run.py:19479-19487 always passes both. That makes exec approvals raise TypeError and fall back to text.
• The new listener defaults to 0.0.0.0 at adapter.py:140-146, but callback user_id is only read (adapter.py:1580), not authorized before resolve_gateway_approval() (adapter.py:1657). MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_USERS already exists in config (hermes_cli/config.py:4256-4261).
• The clarify Other branch uses undefined chat_id at adapter.py:1632; regular clicks resolve the index rather than the selected string at adapter.py:1634-1635, contrary to the adapter contract in gateway/platforms/base.py:3167-3174.
• The PR contains no tests or Mattermost callback setup/security documentation.

Suggested changes

• Align the approval method with the current gateway kwargs and cover that integration path.
• Authorize callbacks before consuming pending state; use a safe listener/configuration model.
• Fix clarify routing and add adapter tests for callback authorization, stale/double clicks, threading, and all prompt types.

Automated hermes-sweeper review.

Current gateway/run.py:19479-19487 passes allow_permanent and smart_denied to this method. Add those keyword parameters (and honor them in the buttons), otherwise this override raises TypeError and the gateway silently falls back to the text approval path.

[teknium1]

user_id is parsed but never authorized before _route_action_click() resolves approvals. Because this PR defaults the listener to 0.0.0.0, validate it against the existing MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_USERS policy before consuming any pending action.

[teknium1]

chat_id is undefined in _route_action_click; this raises after mark_awaiting_text() succeeds. Use the channel_id parameter and preserve/recover pending state if posting the outcome fails.

[teknium1]

The action encodes a zero-based index, but resolve_gateway_clarify() must receive the chosen response string. Retain the choices with pending state or encode the selected value so the agent receives the actual option rather than "0", "1", or "2".
