First-Time Setup

Overview

When no EXTEND.md is found, guide user through preference setup.

BLOCKING OPERATION: This setup MUST complete before ANY other workflow steps. Do NOT:

  • Ask about reference images
  • Ask about content/article
  • Ask about dimensions (type, palette, rendering)
  • Proceed to content analysis

ONLY ask the questions in this setup flow, save EXTEND.md, then continue.
