enh: Docs Checkbox Handling

[taylorwilsdon]

Checkboxes in Google Docs are read as plain bullet items, so the LLM doesn't know they're checkboxes and writes literal [x]/DONE text. The fix is in docs_markdown.py - detect checklist items and render them as - [ ]/- [x] in markdown.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added comprehensive checklist support for Google Docs to Markdown conversion. Lists are now properly detected as checklists and rendered with [x] for completed items and [ ] for pending items. Formatting maintains correct indentation throughout nested lists, and completed items render cleanly without redundant strikethrough in the converted output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Google Docs to Markdown conversion now supports checklist lists with checked/unchecked item rendering. Two new helper functions detect checklists and checked items, while the text rendering pipeline accepts a skip_strikethrough flag to prevent redundant formatting on completed items. A new constant for shortcut field resolution was also added.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Checklist Support Implementation gdocs/docs_markdown.py	Added checklist detection (_is_checklist, _is_checked) and extended text rendering with skip_strikethrough parameter through _convert_paragraph_text, _convert_text_run, and _apply_text_style to render checklist items as "- [ ]" or "- [x]" without redundant strikethrough.
Drive Helpers Constant gdrive/drive_helpers.py	Added BASE_SHORTCUT_FIELDS constant for reusable base field set in shortcut resolution queries.
Checklist Tests tests/gdocs/test_docs_markdown.py	Added CHECKLIST_DOC fixture and TestChecklists class with four tests validating unchecked items, checked items, strikethrough suppression, and non-checklist bullet preservation.

🐰 Checkmarks now hop through your docs,
With boxes checked and unmarked stocks,
