feat: give bot full conversation context on @mentions for real engagement

When @mentioned, fetch recent messages from ALL users in the channel
(up to 15 messages) instead of only the mentioner's messages. This lets
the bot understand debates and discussions it's asked to weigh in on.

Also update the personality prompt to engage with topics substantively
when asked for opinions, rather than deflecting with generic jokes.
