--ranges validated the position of "!" in the raw string and then returned the
trimmed halves, so " !A1:B2" was accepted and produced a set_cell_range /
clear_range operation carrying sheetId: "". Depending on how the server treats
an empty sheetId, the whole batch_update fails, or — worse — the operation lands
on the default worksheet instead of the one the user named, while the command
reports success.
Both halves must now be non-empty *after* trimming. batch-clear grew the same
hole independently (it duplicated the split inline); it now shares
splitSheetPrefixedRange, so the invariant holds by construction rather than by
being repeated correctly in two places.
batch-set-style --batch had the same gap at the JSON level: it only rejected
sheetId == "", so " " passed. It now judges the trimmed value but still sends
the raw one — sheetId may be a worksheet *name*, and names may legitimately
carry leading or trailing spaces, so trimming on the user's behalf would target
a different sheet. The --ranges form cannot express such a name anyway, which is
what --batch is for.
TestBlankSheetIdentifierIsRejectedBeforeAnyRemoteCall covers all three entry
points with calls == 0; TestBatchStyleSheetIDIsSentVerbatimNotTrimmed pins the
no-normalisation half.
