gdirect: Direct Google Drive Access from the Terminal — How It Works and Setup Guide

TL;DR on how gdirect reaches Google Drive directly from mainland China: it finds genuine Google front ends that happen to be unblocked inside Google's published address space, falls back to a forged g.cn identity when the real SNI is reset, pins certificates to Google's GTS roots and fails over between endpoints. Then a 10-minute OAuth setup guide, a correction prompted by a reader (183.56.143.147 is a third-party relay, not Google) and a source walkthrough.
