Release v0.5.0 (#51)

## Release v0.5.0

### Changes

#### Added
- **Seqera Platform Deep Links** (#43): One-click navigation to workflow
runs in Seqera Platform. Auto-detected when running through Seqera
Platform, configurable via `slack.seqeraPlatform.enabled`
- **Progress Updates** (#44): Real-time progress during pipeline
execution via in-place start message updates. Configurable interval and
rate limiting. Enable with `slack.onProgress { enabled = true }`
- **Emoji Reactions** (#41): Automatic emoji reactions on start message
for workflow status (🚀 start, ✅ success, ❌ error). Enable with
`slack.reactions { enabled = true }`
- **Connection Validation** (#40): Validates Slack credentials on
startup using `auth.test` and `conversations.info`. Enabled by default,
never blocks pipeline execution

#### Fixed
- **Cancelled Workflow Notifications** (#50): Cancelled workflows now
correctly send error notifications instead of success
- **`includeFields` Config Bug** (#48): Config-level `includeFields` was
silently ignored by default message builders
- **Spurious Reaction Warning** (#48): Fixed "Failed to remove reaction"
warning when `onStart.enabled = false`

#### Changed
- **Documentation Simplification** (#48): Consolidated from 11 pages to
6 (~2300 to ~1300 lines). Standardized examples, removed obsolete
configs and unreferenced screenshots

 ### Added
 
-- **Seqera Platform Deep Links**: Automatically adds a "View in Seqera Platform" button to all Slack notifications when running through Seqera Platform ([#36](https://github.com/seqeralabs/nf-slack/issues/36))
+- **Seqera Platform Deep Links**: Automatically adds a "View in Seqera Platform" button to all Slack notifications when running through Seqera Platform. Reads `watchUrl` from TowerClient, auto-detected and configurable via `slack.seqeraPlatform.enabled`. Start message updated asynchronously once URL is available ([#43](https://github.com/seqeralabs/nf-slack/pull/43))
+- **Progress Updates**: Real-time progress during pipeline execution via in-place start message updates using `chat.update`. Event-driven with rate limiting. Configure via `slack.onProgress { enabled = true; interval = '5m' }`. Tracks submitted, completed, cached, and failed tasks ([#44](https://github.com/seqeralabs/nf-slack/pull/44))
+- **Emoji Reactions**: Automatic emoji reactions on start message for workflow status (🚀 start, ✅ success, ❌ error). Configure via `slack.reactions { enabled = true }`. Requires bot token, fire-and-forget ([#41](https://github.com/seqeralabs/nf-slack/pull/41))
+- **Connection Validation**: Validates Slack credentials on startup using `auth.test` and `conversations.info`. Enabled by default via `slack.validateOnStartup = true`. Warns on failure, never blocks pipeline execution ([#40](https://github.com/seqeralabs/nf-slack/pull/40))
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Cancelled Workflow Notifications**: Cancelled workflows (via Seqera Platform) now correctly send error notifications instead of success. Checks `session.workflowMetadata.success` in `onFlowComplete()` ([#50](https://github.com/seqeralabs/nf-slack/pull/50))
+- **`includeFields` Config Bug**: Config-level `onStart/onComplete/onError.includeFields` was silently ignored by default message builders. Added `includeFields` property to config classes and `shouldIncludeField()` helper ([#48](https://github.com/seqeralabs/nf-slack/pull/48))
+- **Spurious Reaction Warning**: Fixed "Failed to remove reaction" warning when `onStart.enabled = false` by tracking `startReactionAdded` flag. Downgraded `no_reaction` from WARN to DEBUG ([#48](https://github.com/seqeralabs/nf-slack/pull/48))
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Documentation Simplification**: Consolidated from 11 pages to 6 (~2300 to ~1300 lines). Standardized examples to bot tokens. Removed 7 obsolete configs and 8 unreferenced screenshots. Fixed broken links ([#48](https://github.com/seqeralabs/nf-slack/pull/48))
