Non-ASCII channel names won't match on conversations.list — use search.messages to locate them.
search.messages requires GET, not POST — POST returns invalid_arguments with no further detail. Pass query, count, sort, sort_dir as query params.
chat.postMessage uses POST with JSON body (channel, text). For @mentions in text, use <@UXXXXXXXX> format with the user's Slack ID.
