  title: Slack Post a Message and Update It Later
  summary: Post an initial status message and then edit it in place with an update.
  description: >-
    A live status pattern that posts a placeholder and edits it in place as
    things change. The workflow posts an initial status message, captures its
    timestamp, and then updates the same message with revised text so the
    channel shows a single evolving status rather than a stream of duplicates.
    Every step spells out its request inline so the flow can be read and
    executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
