feat(types): allow raw_number cells in TableBlock rows
Summary
This pull request fixes the TableBlock type in @slack/types to allow raw_number cells, which the table-block reference documents but the type omitted.
- The docs state table cells "can have a type of
rich_text,raw_text, orraw_number", butTableBlock.rowswas typed(RichTextBlock | RawTextElement)[][](noraw_number) and its@descriptionsaid only "raw_text or rich_text". - Adds the
RawNumberElementcomposition object (type: 'raw_number',value,text) — the same definition introduced by thedata_tablePR #2638, so the two share one cell element type and whichever lands second drops the duplicate in a trivial merge. - Adds
RawNumberElementtoTableBlock.rowsand corrects the@descriptionto match the docs. - Adds the first tsd type coverage for
TableBlock(all three cell types);TableBlockpreviously had no type tests.
Closes #2689. A working raw_number-in-table payload is in this Block Kit Builder preview (from the issue).

Summary
The TableBlock interface in @slack/types is missing the raw_number cell type documented at docs.slack.dev/reference/block-kit/blocks/table-block.
Currently rows is typed as (RichTextBlock | RawTextElement)[][] — but the docs state that table cells can have a type of rich_text, raw_text, or raw_number.
Feature request
Add
RawNumberElement— a new composition object type alongsideRawTextElement:ts export interface RawNumberElement { type: 'raw_number'; text: string; }Consider typed models for table cells and column_settings — right now
column_settingsisTableBlockColumnSettings[](already typed), but the cell union could be more explicit about what each cell type accepts (e.g.rich_textcells haveelements,raw_text/raw_numberhavetext).
