Closes #20

Is a Factory Slack connector the expected source for Benny?

It is one expected source, not the only one. Benny runs as a Factory automation, and Factory automations use the run identity's connector access for Slack. Droid also supports Slack through MCP, and /why already tells the agent to inspect configured MCP servers and connectors. Connector alone was too narrow, so Benny says "Slack MCP or connector".

skills/why/references/sources/slack.md says Slack MCP again. mcp_auth stays dropped; that tool name is Cursor's. The auth-failure line says "If the MCP isn't authenticated".

verdict: pass, merging.

• min changes: skills/why/references/sources/slack.md L5/L17 now match upstream 88d4751 minus only the cursor-specific mcp_auth sentence, exactly #20's smallest fix. benny's two lines take the "Slack MCP or connector" option #20 offered, and the body answers the question (factory automations use connectors, droid also has mcp).
• layout/target: no cursor files or shims touched.
• parity: no version change needed.
• proof: text-only skill change; ci Validate plugin (droid marketplace add + install + list + installed-copy checks) green at 3648c02.
• linkage: Closes #20. not a draft.
