Summary
When gog docs write --append --markdown is given input containing three or more tables separated by paragraphs, the trailing punctuation of the paragraph immediately before the third (and any subsequent) table is reordered — moved to a separate paragraph after the corresponding table. The first two paragraph+table pairs render correctly.

Repro
cat > /tmp/repro.md <<'MD'
Paragraph A ending in word one.
| h1 | h2 |
|----|----|
| a | b |
Paragraph B ending in word two.
| h1 | h2 |
|----|----|
| c | d |
Paragraph C ending in word three.
| h1 | h2 |
|----|----|
| e | f |
MD
DOC=$(gog docs create "MD bug repro" --json | jq -r '.file.id')
gog docs write "$DOC" --append --markdown --file=/tmp/repro.md
gog docs cat "$DOC" --json | jq -r '.text'
Expected
Three paragraphs each followed by a 2×2 table, with the trailing words intact (one., two., three.).
Actual
Paragraph A ending in word one.
h1 h2
a b
Paragraph B ending in word two.
h1 h2
c d
Paragraph C ending in word three ← period missing
h1 h2
e f
. ← period appears as standalone paragraph
The period (or trailing 1–2 chars) of the third paragraph is moved to a standalone paragraph after the third table.

Notes
- First two paragraph+table pairs are fine; the corruption only starts at the 3rd table.
- Suggests an off-by-one or index-bookkeeping issue in the per-table insert loop — after the second table insert, the running insertion index for the next paragraph appears to be one char short of where the paragraph actually ends.
