Type of change

• Documentation
• Dependency packaging metadata

Summary

Move the Block Kit example from requirements.txt to pyproject.toml so its runtime and development dependencies live in the standard Python project metadata file.

This keeps Dependabot focused on the existing block-kit pip manifest location while letting local and CI setup install the sample with pip install -e ".[dev]". The runtime dependency remains slack_sdk==3.41.0; lint, type-check, and test tools are preserved as the dev extra.

Related discussion: slack-samples/bolt-python-getting-started-app#7 tracks the shared pyproject.toml vs requirements.txt discussion for this Python batch.

Reviewers

Please verify the Block Kit example still installs and runs checks from its nested directory:

$ cd block-kit
$ pip install -e ".[dev]"
$ ruff check
$ ruff format --diff --check
$ mypy ./**/*.py
$ pytest -v

Slack CLI app creation check (using the nested Block Kit example):

$ slack create -t slack-samples/bolt-python-examples -b chore/prefer-pyproject-over-requirements --subdir block-kit
