Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only clarification of existing role behavior; no product or security logic changes in this diff.

Overview
Updates the Roles and permissions section in the Slack agent docs so Viewers are described as always running in read-only mode for Mintlify tools, regardless of the request.

This tightens the prior wording, which only said the agent runs in read-only mode for viewers, without stating that write-style prompts cannot override that restriction.

Pure questions route through a faster read-only path automatically
(server ENG-7511), independent of the user's role. Previous wording
only tied read-only behavior to the viewer role.

server#8045 (Slack agent image reading) has unresolved SSRF and
buffering issues per automated review and hasn't merged; server#8046
(editor agent) is also blocked. Documenting image reading as
available is inaccurate until those land. Reverts the "image
capabilities" commit's content changes while keeping the read-only
Q&A fast-path documentation, which is verified shipped.

… claims

- Fold in #7430's Viewers-role wording fix (agent always runs
  read-only for viewers, regardless of the request).
- Remove Linear-issue and GitHub-PR @mintlify mention claims: the
  Linear integration was removed as deprecated (server#7536) and no
  GitHub PR-mention webhook handler exists. Keep only the verified
  Slack sidepanel capability, and drop the unverified @kb name.
- Fix follow-up-PR-comment direction: the comment is posted on the
  triggering code PR linking to the docs PR, not the reverse.
- Soften "reviewer rotation" to describe the actual behavior: trying
  the code PR's author/committers in order until one accepts.

Superseded by #7431 — the Viewers-role wording fix from this PR is folded into that one, which now covers the full set of Slack agent capability updates for DOC-437.
