    The Sheets API is versioned by major number in the base path. v4 is current;

  notes: >-
    Google's API deprecation policy (Google APIs Terms of Service) commits to a
    deprecation notice period — generally one year for Workspace/Google APIs —
    before shutting down a version. Changes are announced in the release notes
    rather than via RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation HTTP headers.
