Two things, one behind the other.

The Send tile's header line is gone

Above the message box sat Sending as Apollo Beach → #ops with a Lock button beside it. The box's own placeholder already reads Message #ops…, and the title bar already carries a Lock, so the line only said both again. Both removed; the title-bar Lock is untouched and still relocks every Slack tile on the page.

Quick replies keeps its line. It has no message box and so no placeholder — that line is the only place its target channel is named.

The send target now has to be on screen

Until a transcript was clicked, resolve() fell back to list[0] — the first channel in the admin list — whether or not that channel had a tile on the dashboard. A board showing only #ops would quietly aim at #general.

The order is now:

the transcript clicked last, while it is still configured and still on the page;
else the first configured channel whose transcript is on this page — with a single transcript up, that one;
else (the page shows no transcript at all) the first configured channel, as before.

Verified against `tools/slack-mock.js`

With #production (C001) and #ops (C002) configured in that order, and a saved selection cleared:

a board holding only the #ops transcript aimed at #ops, not #production — and a real send through the tile landed in C002's history, with C001 untouched;
the Send tile showed no header line, no Lock link, placeholder Message #ops…, and Lock alone in its title bar; Quick replies still showed Sending as Apollo Beach → #ops and its Lock link;
clicking between the two transcripts moved the target, the placeholder and the is-target highlight each time — the path where the now-absent line used to be repainted;
closing the selected #ops tile moved the target to #production rather than leaving it on a channel with no tile; closing both fell back to #production;
the title-bar Lock relocked both the Send and Quick replies tiles;
one PIN entry still unlocks every Slack tile on the page.

Slack 1.2.1: a clearer Send tile, and a send target you can see f0be37796b

The line above the message box said "Sending as Apollo Beach → #ops" with a
Lock button beside it. The box's own placeholder already reads "Message
#ops…" and the title bar already has a Lock, so both went. Quick replies
keeps its line: it has no placeholder, so that is the only place its target
is named.

The bigger thing behind it: until a transcript was clicked, a send went to
the first channel in the admin list whether or not that channel was on the
dashboard — so a board showing only #ops would quietly aim at #general. The
target now falls to the first configured channel whose transcript is
actually up, which with a single transcript is that one. Only when the page
shows no transcript at all does it fall back to the first configured
channel.
