fix(slack): CI fixes — mypy auth_test typing + portable test assertions

- mypy didn't like `(auth_test() or {}).get(...)` (dict literal types as
  `dict[Never, Never]`); use the same shape `thread.py` already uses.
- `test_miss_then_hit_calls_underlying_once` asserted `first is second`,
  which fails on serializing cache backends (Redis in CI hands back a
  fresh deserialized copy). The contract worth pinning is one underlying
  fetch — drop the identity check.
- `test_build_description_renders_labeled_mention_for_each_author` put
  the mentioner as the last message, so trailing-placeholder pop removed
  its entry. Add a follow-up message after it.
- `test_wraps_diff_in_dedicated_tag` rejected any occurrence of the
  original context tag, but the update block's header text references
  the original tag in prose. Anchor the assertion on shape — the block
  doesn't open/close with `<slack_thread_context>`.
