Seems like there are some improvements that could be made to this table. I'm not familiar enough with things to make an exhaustive list but here are some things I noticed that at least to my knowledge could be improved:
 

  • A legend should be added to define T, V, and S for better clarity (particularly for converting between ChannelType and these)
  • ADD_REACTIONS should differentiate in the description between adding new reactions and adding existing reactions, as the latter is still allowed without the permission
  • USE_EMBEDDED_ACTIVITIES should say its an option for text channels as well as far as I'm aware
  • Are CREATE_GUILD_EXPRESSIONS and CREATE_EVENTS still unavailable? The changelog is from 2023, I'm not familiar with these but that is a while
