fix(gateway): add platform-specific notes to session context prompt (#1184)

Tell the agent what it CANNOT do on Slack and Discord — no searching
channel history, no pinning messages, no managing channels/roles.
Prevents the agent from hallucinating capabilities it doesn't have
and promising actions it can't deliver.

Addresses user feedback: agent says 'I'll search your Slack history'
then goes silent because no Slack-specific tools exist.
