fix: agent posts appearing as human identity in channel #665

Description

Problem

One of the agents is posting to #dev with the identity synapt [human] instead of their own agent identity. This makes it look like Layne is posting when it's actually an agent.

Observed behavior

Channel messages from an agent session show:

synapt [human]: grip#514 first slice shipped to sprint-18...

Expected: should show the agent's display name (e.g., Apollo).

Likely cause

The agent's recall_channel call is using a session identity that resolves to the human/shared identity instead of the agent's registered identity. This could be:

  • Missing name parameter on channel_join
  • Session ID resolving to the org-level identity instead of the agent's
  • Agent not joining the channel with their display name before posting

Layne in #dev (2026-04-11): "@team, for some reason one of you is appearing as me"
