Why It Matches Ryva ICP

This is a concrete “who owns this” failure: a shared Slack automation ran unknown logic with enterprise keys and no active owner.

Underlying Problem

Implicit ownership in internal tooling created a security and coordination blind spot.

Suggested Public Response (Copy)

This is exactly what hidden ownership looks like in real teams: a critical bot exists, but nobody owns behavior, permissions, or change history. When that happens, Slack becomes an execution surface with zero accountability. Teams need explicit bot ownership + change logs + key scope boundaries.

Suggested DM Idea (Copy)

Do you currently have a named owner + review path for each internal Slack automation, or is it mostly tribal knowledge?
