Five workflow functions this week. Which step surprised you most?
The Docs text extraction — body.content nesting three levels deep just to get a paragraph. I expected a flat text key.
The Docs API was built for structured editing. The nesting you navigated is the same nesting a word processor uses to track bold, italic, and links per run. For plain-text extraction, the loop is the correct tool.
And the safe-send pattern — returning a dict instead of raising felt like a design decision, not just error handling.
It is. A function that returns structured status is composable. A function that raises is a pipeline-stopper. Six questions — four from this week, two reviewing Weeks 1–3. Review questions marked [REVIEW].
Ready.
That's the Week 4 capstone locked in. Two-app chains, safe-send error handling, and the full Monday workflow pipeline — ready to run.
