+ * Does a `message_changed` edit leave the message's WORDS and FILES as they were? Pure.
+ *
+ * 🔴 WHY THIS EXISTS (OPE-2577). Slack raises `message_changed` for more than a person's edit. It
+ * raises one each time the message's METADATA changes: a link unfurl, and, in the person's DM with
+ * the app, each `agents.sessions.setStatus` call that OE itself makes on the session's root message
+ * (slack-agent-session.ts: the title at the door, `processing` at turn start, `active` or
+ * `suspended` at the park). The event is hidden: `conversations.history` never lists it, and its
+ * `ts` is a fresh notice stamp. Its inner message is the person's own message, with the person's
+ * own author. So before this predicate, the DM door woke the seat on every one of them, as a NEW
+ * inbound wake. Ship #252 measured it: one DM drew three more wakes within 15 seconds, the
+ * reply-freshness gate refused the answer to the person's real wake as `stale-conversation`, and the
+ * answer landed under a later edit wake. A voice clip was lost, because an edit is never heard again
+ * (slack-voice-clips.ts).
+ *
+ * An edit that changes no words and no files says nothing new, so no door wakes on it. A REAL edit
+ * still wakes: any difference in the typed text, in the quoted-message text Slack parks in
+ * `attachments[]` ({@link resolveSlackInboundText}), or in a file's id or its tombstone mark (a deleted file
