Subject: [PATCH] feat: enhance Slack notifications with comprehensive data
 display
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Increase row limit from 5 to 20 rows per Slack message
- Add total row count display for complete dataset visibility
- Implement intelligent pagination for large datasets (>20 rows)
- Show clear truncation indicators when data is limited
- Add ORDER BY clause for consistent data ordering
- Improve message formatting with better information hierarchy

Benefits:
- Complete visibility for small datasets (≤20 rows)
- Graceful handling of large datasets with pagination notes
- Better context for data pipeline results
- More informative and actionable Slack notifications

Resolves: Limited data visibility in Slack notifications
