drive sheets: cover remaining gaps — named ranges, conditional formatting, charts, pivot tables, filter views, developer metadata, fuller format/validation flags #1663

Description

@newhoggy

`drive sheets` covers cell read/write, structure (add/rename/insert/duplicate/reorder/hide/delete), formatting, data validation, and protected ranges — but several parts of the Sheets v4 surface remain untouched, and the existing typed verbs cut corners deliberately documented in the changelog. Tracking what's left:

Entirely unimplemented (no request type exists anywhere in src/drive/sheets/):

  • Named ranges (add/update/delete, and reading them back via spreadsheets.get)
  • Conditional formatting rules
  • Charts (embed, update, delete)
  • Pivot tables
  • Filter views / basic filters
  • Slicers
  • Developer metadata

Curated flag surfaces that stop short of the API (each a documented cut, not a bug):

  • format-cells: no font family, rotation, hyperlink display, padding, or text direction
  • set-data-validation: only 4 condition types (--one-of-list/--number-between/--checkbox/--custom-formula) of Sheets' several dozen
  • update-borders: no inner-grid-line fields

Adjacent, not Sheets proper but same gap shape:

  • No Slides read/write surface at all
  • drive docs read: document body only — headers, footers, footnotes are unread

Explicitly out of scope for this issue: a raw --requests file.json batchUpdate passthrough. ADR-0061/ADR-0075 rejected that path on purpose — it would let one call bypass the per-operation permission gate and make --dry-run unable to describe the real effect. Closing the gaps above should follow the existing pattern: one typed subcommand (or flag) per capability, gated the same way the rest of the surface is.
