scope: "Browser-visible Slack signals that help decide whether to surface, review, or demote a notification/message for ONEplace."

## Helper

Use `slack_get_demotion_signals(source="current", limit=50, current_user=None)`.

```python
import json
signals = json.loads(slack_get_demotion_signals(source="activity", limit=20))
```

## Parameters

- `source`: `"current"` scores visible Slack content; `"activity"` opens/scans Activity first.
- `current_user`: optional display name to demote the user's own messages.
- `limit`: maximum rows/messages to score.

## Returns

JSON items with `signals.score`, `signals.tier`, and `signals.reasons`. Tiers are `surface`, `review`, or `quiet`; reasons are intended to be shown or logged as demotion/surfacing explanations.

## Usage stance

Use this to support subtraction. A quiet tier is a demotion with an audit trail, not deletion. Review is the safe bucket for uncertainty.

## Verification

2026-06-01: `slack_get_demotion_signals(source="current", limit=3)` returned `ok=true`, `count=3`, and produced quiet/surface tiers with reasons.
