fix(channels): don't treat a bare "connect" as a bind command (#4251)
`extract_connect_code` matched `command in {"/connect", "connect"}`, so any
message whose first word is the ordinary English word "connect" was parsed as
`/connect <code>` and its next word swallowed as a one-time bind code. For
example `extract_connect_code("connect the database to the api")` returned
`"the"` instead of `None`, meaning a normal chat message never reached the
agent and instead attempted a channel bind.

Every other channel control command requires a leading slash:
`is_known_channel_command` only matches `/`-prefixed tokens and
`KNOWN_CHANNEL_COMMANDS` holds only slash forms (`/goal`, `/new`, ...). The
docstrings and AGENTS.md advertise only `/connect <code>`. The bare alias was
inconsistent with all of that and produced the false-positive bind.

Match only `/connect`. The `.lower()` keeps it case-insensitive (`/Connect`)
and the mention-prefix handling from #4222 is unaffected, so
`@bot /connect <code>` still binds.
