Half the data I need while coding does not live in the repo. Seed rows, the pricing table, a small feature-flag list, the copy a non-technical teammate owns. All of it sits in a Google Sheet, and every time the editor's agent needed a value from it I was tabbing over, copying a block of cells, and pasting it into the chat. That works once.
