+"""Regression: Slack send() must surface retryable + retry_after on 429.
+
+The Telegram adapter (PR #46762) extracts retry_after from FloodWait errors
+and sets retryable=True so the base _send_with_retry() layer can honor the
+server-requested backoff.  Slack's send() caught all exceptions and returned
+a bare SendResult(success=False) with retryable=False — so 429 rate-limit
+errors were never retried and remaining message chunks were silently dropped.
+
+These tests verify the Slack adapter now:
+  1. Sets retryable=True for 429 / 500+ / connection errors
+  2. Extracts the Retry-After header when present
+  3. Leaves non-retryable errors (403, 404, etc.) unchanged
