Abdul Rahman 42aa566e32 feat(twenty-slack): link records and format the assistant reply footer (#23539)
Follow-up to the Slack bot branch, improving how assistant replies read
in Slack.

## Problem

The assistant never had the workspace URL. `buildSlackAssistantPrompt`
injected the request, requester and thread context, and the agent prompt
said nothing about links, so a record it created or found came back as
plain text with no way to open it. The reply was also a single
`markdown_text` blob with `_Answered in 3s_` appended to the answer.

## Changes

**Record deep links.** `fetchWorkspaceBaseUrl` resolves the workspace
URL from `currentWorkspace { workspaceUrls }`, preferring a custom
domain over the subdomain. It runs in parallel with the existing Slack
context fetch, so no extra latency. The prompt carries the base URL plus
the `[Record Name](base/object/<objectNameSingular>/<recordId>)` rule.
When the URL cannot be resolved the prompt explicitly forbids writing
any Twenty URL, so a failed lookup degrades to plain record names rather
than invented links.

**Reply structure.** The answer now goes out as Block Kit: a `markdown`
block for the body and a `context` block for the duration, so it reads
as a footer rather than italic text tacked onto the answer.
`getSlackChatMessageBodyFields` grew a blocks variant that keeps the
message text as Slack's notification and screen-reader fallback, and
`slackUpdateMessageHandler` now falls back to plain text on
`invalid_blocks` for blocks as well as markdown.

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private
