Append a row to a spreadsheet

## Usage

```bash
gws sheets +append --spreadsheet <ID>
```

## Flags

| Flag | Required | Default | Description |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `--spreadsheet` | ✓ | — | Spreadsheet ID |
| `--values` | — | — | Comma-separated values (simple strings) |
| `--json-values` | — | — | JSON array of rows, e.g. '[["a","b"],["c","d"]]' |
| `--range` | — | `A1` | Target range in A1 notation (e.g. 'Sheet2!A1') to select a specific tab |

## Examples

```bash
gws sheets +append --spreadsheet ID --values 'Alice,100,true'
gws sheets +append --spreadsheet ID --json-values '[["a","b"],["c","d"]]'
gws sheets +append --spreadsheet ID --range "Sheet2!A1" --values 'Alice,100'
```

## Tips

- Use --values for simple single-row appends.
- Use --json-values for bulk multi-row inserts.
- Use --range to append to a specific sheet tab (default: A1, i.e. first sheet).
