Issue using crypto functions in http actions to verify slack web hooks

Hello everyone! I recently wrote a socket-mode slack app in golang to have a little fun, and after learning about convex I wanted to do the same.

Receiving webhooks from slack is no problem, but I've had a few issues trying to verify the raw slack payloads before taking any action on them. Assuming slack/bolt would not work in Convex runtime, I thought I'd test out slack-edge. Unfortunately that is using some functionality not supported by the Convex runtime.

Not implemented: verify for SubtleCrypto. Consider calling an action defined in Node.js instead (https://docs.convex.dev/functions/actions).

Anyone have some pointers about how to use crypto in the Convex runtime? I am assuming the above call is about using the signing secret to verify the request.
