- Normalize display name and help header to 'Time-off' - Reword the not-started notification to clarify auto-reply is off
Add i18n description and params example so the slash command autocomplete shows helpful usage text before the command runs.
Reword the 'not marked as Time Off' status reply to match the not-started message, clarifying that auto-replies are off.
Replace the preview LayoutBlock with a section that quotes the user's left-behind message using markdown blockquote formatting.
Reword the start confirmation to emphasize the app only auto-replies to DMs and that the user must manually end with /time-off end. Show the custom reply message as a blockquote when one is provided.
The app no longer stores or sends a default out-of-office message the user never wrote. When no custom message is set, senders simply see that the user is on time off, and the start confirmation and status command note that no custom reply message was set.

Goals
Improve the Time-Off app's user-facing copy and behavior so it reads clearly, uses consistent naming, and never puts words in a user's mouth. These are UX refinements gathered from design feedback — no functional/data-model changes beyond how the reply message is stored.
