Ben 751a300fca docs(cron): scope in_channel to channels; document DM continuation knob
Live DM testing showed a reply to a DM cron brief did NOT continue the job.
Root cause: for a 1:1 DM the governing knob is dm_top_level_threads_as_sessions
(default True), NOT reply_in_thread / cron_continuable_surface. Under the
default, each top-level DM keys to a per-message session (…:dm:<chat>:<ts>),
so a reply mints a new ts and can never converge with the flat …:dm:<chat>
session the cron seed creates.

A 1:1 DM has no thread-vs-timeline split, so "in_channel" has no coherent
meaning for a DM — cron_continuable_surface is a channel concept and is a
no-op for DMs. DM continuation is governed entirely by
dm_top_level_threads_as_sessions:
  - false → all top-level DMs share …:dm:<chat> → seed + reply converge → works
  - true (default) → per-message sessions → no continuation (cron or interactive)

Option A (chosen): document the requirement; no code change (the flat-DM seed
from the prior commit already lands correctly when the knob is false). Adds a
":::note 1:1 DMs" admonition to cron.md + the zh-Hans mirror.

Verification (real inbound handler, not a hard-coded assumption — the mistake
that made the earlier DM E2E falsely pass): tests/manual/cron_inchannel_dm_e2e.py
drives the REAL _handle_slack_message for a top-level DM under both knob values
and asserts false→converges (…:dm:D_TESTDM == seed), true→diverges
(…:dm:D_TESTDM:<ts>). See decisions.md D9.
