Announce a Drive file in a Chat space

## Usage

```bash
gws workflow +file-announce --file-id <ID> --space <SPACE>
```

## Flags

| Flag | Required | Default | Description |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `--file-id` | ✓ | — | Drive file ID to announce |
| `--space` | ✓ | — | Chat space name (e.g. spaces/SPACE_ID) |
| `--message` | — | — | Custom announcement message |
| `--format` | — | — | Output format: json (default), table, yaml, csv |

## Examples

```bash
gws workflow +file-announce --file-id FILE_ID --space spaces/ABC123
gws workflow +file-announce --file-id FILE_ID --space spaces/ABC123 --message 'Check this out!'
```

## Tips

- This is a write command — sends a Chat message.
- Use `gws drive +upload` first to upload the file, then announce it here.
- Fetches the file name from Drive to build the announcement.
