Check for Slack replies
check_repliesChecks pending Slack bot questions for replies without waiting, optionally for one conversation after a timestamp, and removes answered questions from the pending list.
Instructions
Check once, without waiting, whether people answered the bot. With no arguments, checks every pending question (saved by send_message with expect_reply, or by wait_for_reply on timeout), including ones from earlier sessions; answered questions are removed from the pending list. With channel and since_ts, checks one conversation instead. Cheap to call, so use it for long waits: end your turn, then call it later from a scheduled or looped run.
