Why this helps
People can keep working from an outdated file because updates are easy to miss among other Drive activity.
- Share update context without manually composing each notice.
- Reduce stale-document confusion.
- Keep the people following a file in the loop.

- 3Tell Notis which stakeholders to email when a file changes and ask it to summarize the available update details.

File Created

File Deleted or Trashed

File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
