Description
Add tools to create new drawing shapes on slides.
Suggested:
- pptx_create_shape (rectangle, circle, arrow, callout, connector with position/size/fill/stroke)
- pptx_update_shape_properties (modify fill color, stroke, shadow, rotation, transparency)
- pptx_get_shape_properties (read all shape formatting details)
Business value: enable AI to create styled diagrams, flowcharts, customize slide layouts.
Complexity: High — requires understanding OpenXML shape definitions, DrawingML preset geometries, and shape property inheritance from themes.

The work is complete when creation, property updates, and property reads support the listed geometries and formatting details for styled diagrams and layouts.
