Writes (money-moving)

gads_propose_change_keyword_match_type

Change a keyword's match type in ONE approval.

Change a keyword's match type in ONE approval. Match type is immutable in the API, so this creates the sibling keyword at the new match type and pauses the old one atomically (e.g. tighten a wasteful BROAD keyword to EXACT). Review-tier — queues for operator approval.

Scope: write token required · money-moving. Every write is dry-run validated, then classified by the safe-apply policy — auto-applied when bounded and low-risk, otherwise queued for approval.
