feat(messages): add edit command to update existing messages - #88
Merged
Conversation
Adds a `messages edit` command backed by a new SlackClient.updateMessage() that calls Slack's chat.update. Mirrors the react command for message identification (--channel-id + --timestamp) and works with both auth types. Closes #87
