Set merge=false to unmerge — the range must exactly match an existing merge, otherwise the call fails with the precise refs to use. Pass merge=sweep to bulk-clear every merge contained in the range (destructive, no precision check). For multiple disjoint ranges in one call, use the prop value form on a sheet- or cell-anchored set (e.g. `set '/Sheet1' --prop merge=A1:B1,A2:B2`).",
