`extract_team_id` crashes with `TypeError when payload["user"]` is a string (e.g. `member_joined_channel` events)

Reproducible in:

The slack_bolt version

slack-bolt==1.27.0
slack-sdk==3.39.0

Python runtime version

Python 3.14.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Register a member_joined_channel listener in a Slack Bolt app:

@app.event("member_joined_channel")
def handle_channel_join(event, client, say):
    say("Hello!")

2. Add the bot to any Slack channel.

3. Observe the incoming event payload — Slack sends "user" as a plain string (the user ID):

{
  "type": "member_joined_channel",
  "user": "U0123456789",
  "channel": "C0123456789",
  "team": "T0123456789"
}

Expected result:

The listener is invoked normally.

Actual result:

The request crashes before the listener is reached, with:

TypeError: string indices must be integers, not 'str'

File "slack_bolt/adapter/aws_lambda/handler.py", line 87, in to_bolt_request
    return BoltRequest(
File "slack_bolt/request/request.py", line 69, in __init__
    self.context = build_context(BoltContext(context if context else {}), self.body)
File "slack_bolt/request/internals.py", line 276, in build_context
    team_id = extract_team_id(body)
File "slack_bolt/request/internals.py", line 116, in extract_team_id
    return payload["user"]["team_id"]

Root cause

extract_team_id in slack_bolt/request/internals.py assumes payload["user"] is always a dict:

if payload.get("user") is not None:
    return payload["user"]["team_id"]

But member_joined_channel sends "user" as a plain string (the user ID). Accessing "U0123456789"["team_id"] raises the TypeError.

The same function already handles payload["team"] correctly with an isinstance check:

if payload.get("team") is not None:
    team = payload.get("team")
    if isinstance(team, str):
        return team
    elif team and "id" in team:
        return team.get("id")

The same guard is missing for payload["user"]. This pattern (subscribing to member_joined_channel and checking if the joined user is the bot) is what maintainers recommend in #710, so users following that guidance will hit this bug.

Beginne in slack_bolt/request/internals.py bei extract_team_id und untersuche anschließend die bestehende Behandlung des Typs payload["team"]. Reproduziere das member_joined_channel-Payload mit einem Stringwert für user und überprüfe, dass die Request-Verarbeitung den Listener ohne TypeError erreicht. Als erledigt gilt die Änderung, wenn Felder für user mit Stringwerten die Extraktion der Team-ID nicht mehr zum Absturz bringen und die bestehenden Payload-Formate weiterhin funktionieren.
