 - Subagents: nested sub-agents (sub-sub-agents) with configurable depth. Set `agents.defaults.subagents.maxSpawnDepth: 2` to allow sub-agents to spawn their own children. Includes `maxChildrenPerAgent` limit (default 5), depth-aware tool policy, and proper announce chain routing. (#14447) Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Discord: components v2 UI + embeds passthrough + exec approval UX refinements (CV2 containers, button layout, Discord-forwarding skip). Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Slack/Discord/Telegram: add per-channel ack reaction overrides (account/channel-level) to support platform-specific emoji formats. (#17092) Thanks @zerone0x.

 ### Ack reaction
 
 - Defaults to active agent's `identity.emoji`, otherwise `"👀"`. Set `""` to disable.
+- Per-channel overrides: `channels.<channel>.ackReaction`, `channels.<channel>.accounts.<id>.ackReaction`.
+- Resolution order: account → channel → `messages.ackReaction` → identity fallback.
 - Scope: `group-mentions` (default), `group-all`, `direct`, `all`.
 - `removeAckAfterReply`: removes ack after reply (Slack/Discord/Telegram/Google Chat only).
