feat(sheets): clear table data rows

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -15,6 +15,7 @@
 - Docs: add `docs add-tab`, `docs rename-tab`, and `docs delete-tab` for managing Google Docs tabs. (#547) — thanks @chopenhauer.
 - Docs: support tab-scoped Markdown append and find-replace flows. (#541) — thanks @donbowman.
 - Sheets: add `sheets table append` for appending rows to structured Sheets tables without targeting headers directly.
+- Sheets: add header-safe `sheets table clear` for clearing table data rows without touching headers or footers.
 
 ### Fixed
 - Agent safety: compile baked safety profile policies into generated hash switches so raw allow/deny rule strings are not embedded as patchable YAML. (#540) — thanks @drewburchfield.

+Clear table data by table ID or name:

+This clears only the table data body. It never includes the header row in the
