contentControls.move

Summary

Move a content control to a new position. Direct moves preserve the original ID; tracked-mode authoring supports safe top-level block SDTs and remaps the destination SDT ID to avoid duplicate live anchors.

Operation ID: contentControls.move
API member path: editor.doc.contentControls.move(...)
Mutates document: yes
Idempotency: conditional
Supports tracked mode: yes
Supports dry run: yes
Deterministic target resolution: yes

Expected result

Returns a ContentControlMutationResult with the updated target position. Tracked-mode results include trackedChangeRefs pointing at the paired move review entity.
