Review feat(types): allow raw_number cells in TableBlock rows (#2737)

This work implements TableBlock types: add RawNumberElement and consider typed cell/column_settings models (closed)

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 alongside RawTextElement: ts export interface RawNumberElement { type: 'raw_number'; text: string; }
Consider typed models for table cells and column_settings — right now column_settings is TableBlockColumnSettings[] (already typed), but the cell union could be more explicit about what each cell type accepts (e.g. rich_text cells have elements, raw_text/raw_number have text).

Reference

Table block docs — documents raw_number as a valid cell type
Current TableBlock definition: packages/types/src/block-kit/blocks.ts

zimeg's Description of Work #2689 TableBlock types: add RawNumberElement and consider typed cell/column_settings models

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, or raw_number", but TableBlock.rows was typed (RichTextBlock | RawTextElement)[][] (no raw_number) and its @description said only "raw_text or rich_text".

Adds the RawNumberElement composition object (type: 'raw_number', value, text) — the same definition introduced by the data_table PR #2638, so the two share one cell element type and whichever lands second drops the duplicate in a trivial merge.

Adds RawNumberElement to TableBlock.rows and corrects the @description to match the docs.

Adds the first tsd type coverage for TableBlock (all three cell types); TableBlock previously had no type tests.

Closes #2689. A working raw_number-in-table payload is in this Block Kit Builder preview (from the issue).
