Previously, setting cell.stringValue to a string starting with "=" threw an error. Now it stores the value as a literal string by directly setting the valueType to "stringValue", bypassing the auto-detection in the value setter.

Use "=2+2" as test value so we can clearly verify the literal string is stored (not computed as 4), and check formattedValue matches. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
