- **Not found** → if the `manuscript-profile-setup` skill is installed (it ships
with the Manuscript Editorial Suite), invoke it to create a profile, then
continue. **If it isn't installed** (this skill can run standalone), don't block:
ask the author for the few values this pass needs — the POV character(s), the
cast, and any characters with special spatial/mobi
