CodeRabbit's request to add e.CaptureAuditRecords() in conversations/tool_rejection_followup_test.go is not applicable: that helper is HTTP-layer API test infrastructure, and audit-record redaction for HandleToolCall is already covered in conversations/tool_approval_audit_test.go.
Merged master to pick up #990 (avatar.test.tsx png stub vs placeholder-icon.png), which caused plugin-tests to fail on this PR without any webapp changes here.
e2e-shard-4 failures on file-upload-drag-drop.spec.ts (known flake) and channel_autoreply.spec.ts mixed-case mention timeout are unrelated to the tool-rejection follow-up changes.

Restore the license-gate follow-up LLM/streaming stubs dropped in the master merge, and pass the passthrough access checker into bots.New. Co-authored-by: mattermost-code <matty-code@mattermost.com>

The 2026-09-09 master merge (#973 ABAC) dropped the license-gate follow-up LLM/streaming stubs and left one bots.New call on the old 7-arg signature. That broke lint and plugin-tests (conversations build failed) on 8b0bb693.
Pushed cf56c71a to restore those stubs and pass the passthrough access checker. Existing CodeRabbit/Codex threads stay resolved: e.CaptureAuditRecords() still does not apply to the service-level follow-up test (tool_approval_audit_test.go already covers audit redaction).

CI on cf56c71 is red only on two checks that are unrelated to this PR’s tool-rejection follow-up (and unrelated to the compile-fix commit, which only touches conversations test helpers).
plugin-tests — indexer.TestResumeRefreshesModelInfo/resume_writes_the_start-time_snapshot_and_unlocks_search expected IndexerModelKey model-a/1536 but still saw the pre-seeded old-model/768. indexer/ is identical to master and to the last green SHA on this PR (61e759bb). finishJob persists completed before persistModelInfoAfterJob; the test reads store.model immediately after waitForJobStatus(completed), so it can observe the stale KV. Same file already waits for persist in waitForStoredRetentionDays. Not caused by this change set.
e2e-shard-4 — dynamic_mcp_cross_turn_derivation.spec.ts timed out waiting for turn-2 Get Channel Info on the second RHS bot post. That spec passed on parent 8b0bb693 (full product diff vs master). cf56c71 cannot affect Playwright. The spec already documents empty-bot-post / Smocker-miss flakes on turn 2.
lint, plugin-tests compile (conversations 11.6s), build, evals, e2e-shard-1..3, and the rest of shard 4 are green. MERGEABLE, 0 behind master.
CodeRabbit: older APPROVED on 4b6dcc1b still stands; threads remain resolved. Docstring-coverage 80% warning is not a repo requirement. Reviews look paused on this branch — please re-run on HEAD.

Summary
Continue the conversation after users reject tool calls, including when every pending call is rejected. The follow-up tells the model not to repeat the rejected call and to ask for clarification or choose a different approach.
The strict guidance applies only to human tool rejections. Skipped questions, policy denials, and execution errors retain their existing continuation semantics. Channel continuations expose the canned rejection reason while keeping tool arguments private.
