The problem this solves

Using a Google Sheet as a CMS is one of the best-kept secrets in small-scale web development. It's free, your content editor already knows how to use it, and there's no dashboard to build. Thousands of blogs, product catalogs, and marketing sites run on exactly this pattern right now.

It also fails in three specific, predictable ways, all of which are invisible until they've already caused a problem:

• A column gets renamed. Someone renames published_date to date because it reads cleaner, or reorders columns while cleaning up the sheet. The site doesn't crash — it just quietly starts rendering blank fields, because the code is still looking for a column that no longer exists under that name.
