Research direction
Start by reading connectors/slackapp/slackApp.go around lines 672-681 and inspect how the range variable u is passed to stringForUser. Check the analyzer's reported reference and the surrounding user lookup behavior; done means the lookup no longer has the reported range-variable issue and existing project checks still pass.
