## Review Complete — Linus Torvalds (Round 1)

**VERDICT: approve** ✅

This is a clean, right-sized patch. ~40 lines of production code across 4 files, activating infrastructure that was already 90% built. The data structures didn't change — that's how you know the original design was sound.

**What's good:**
- `extract_prompt_text()` is 3 lines of logic. `has_bot_mention()` is a one-liner. No abstraction astronautics.
- The `register()` change is 2 lines. The `is_passive` boolean threads cleanly through the existing triage pipeline.
- Post-triage 👀 placement is exactly right — after the actionable check, before queue item creation.
- `should_process_message()` is untouched. All existing filters still apply.
- Dedup (the most dangerous correctness concern) is verified by 3 targeted tests covering pending-set, processed-set, and end-to-end paths.
- 316 tests pass.

**One cosmetic nit:** Dead variable `original_react = None` on line 872 of `test_slack_queue.py`. Not worth blocking on.

FINDINGS:
- [tests/test_slack_queue.py:872]: Dead variable `original_react = None` (cosmetic)
- [src/colonyos/slack_queue.py:343-347]: Post-triage 👀 correctly placed after actionable check
- [src/colonyos/daemon.py]: `_warn_all_mode_safety` clean static method, correct early-return

SYNTHESIS:
Ship it. The production delta is minimal, the boolean dispatch is obvious, the dedup is verified, and nothing was over-engineered. This is how features should land.
