figma_create_text
Add a text node outside components with mandatory DS text style and color variable. Name nodes semantically (e.g., 'Page Title').
Instructions
Creates a standalone text node bound to a DS text style (textStyleId — accepts style name or key) and DS color variable (fillVariable) — both are mandatory when the DS has them. Use for text OUTSIDE components; text inside a component instance uses figma_component_text instead. Strips hardcoded line breaks (container width controls wrapping). Name nodes after their HTML role ("Page Title", "Card: Revenue Label"). Params: parentId + content required. Phase 2+.
