How to fix it
mendapi ships a deterministic migration pack for this change (slack-sdk-v8-errors). Preview the patch locally (dry-run is the default; nothing is modified without --apply):
npx mendapi fix --repo . --migration slack-sdk-v8-errors
The pack is idempotent, gold-regression tested, and safe on partially migrated code.
Detected and tracked by mendapi — Dependabot for every API you depend on. Scans run locally; your code never leaves your machine.
