Completeness

This archive contains 2 channel(s) and 5 message(s) as received, hashed at e3df9a43740a. This is a free-plan Slack export: it can only ever hold PUBLIC channels, and only whatever message/file history Slack had not already deleted under its 90-day display window and one-year retention limit at export time (see source_citation for the exact Slack help-page wording). No authoritative message-count total was supplied with this export, so completeness beyond what Slack itself would have shown at export time is UNKNOWN -- the hash proves the integrity of the bytes received, not that nothing was already gone before this export was taken.

Source: Confirmed 2026-09-22 from Slack's own help articles: "How to export your workspace data" (https://slack.com/help/articles/220556107) states a free-plan export "includes messages and files shared in public channels only"; the message/file history retention article states the free plan shows "the most recent 90 days of message and file history" and that "all data in your workspace that's more than one year old will be deleted" once a workspace's one-year retention limit takes effect. Slack does not publish this package's exact per-message JSON field set as a versioned export schema; the fields read here are this package's own derived reading of that documented export layout, stated as derived, never as an official Slack spec.

What a free-plan export can never contain: This archive can only ever contain what a free-plan export produced: public channels only (no DMs, no private channels -- those require Slack's Discovery API on a paid plan), and only whatever message/file history Slack had not already deleted under its 90-day display window and one-year retention limit at export time. Anything already removed by Slack before this export was taken cannot be recovered by this tool or any other.

This is a transformation of the supplied Slack free-plan export, not a complete backup, guaranteed recovery, or live Slack connection. It is an automated engine transformation, not a claim of human review.
