Notes

• Requires a Google Docs credential; the credential ID is read from credentials.id and resolved to an OAuth bearer token. A missing token raises Workflow error, credentials missing.
• All requests go to https://docs.googleapis.com/v1 with Authorization: Bearer <token>. Errors throw Google Docs API request failed (<status>): <message>.
• Create posts { title } to /documents. Output: { success: true, documentId, title, revisionId, document }.
• Get calls GET /documents/{documentId} with includeTabsContent and an optional fields mask query param. Output: { success: true, documentId, title, revisionId, document }.
• Replace Text posts a replaceAllText request to /documents/{documentId}:batchUpdate using containsText.{text, matchCase} and replaceText. A writeControl is added when requiredRevisionId or targetRevisionId is set (required takes precedence). It sums occurrencesChanged across replies. Output: { success: true, documentId, occurrencesChanged, replies, response }.
• Append Text posts an insertText request to /documents/{documentId}:batchUpdate with endOfSegmentLocation: {} and the given text; same writeControl handling as Replace Text. Output: { success: true, documentId, replies, response }.
