STEP 1 of the PPTX-from-layouts pipeline. Profile a PowerPoint template to discover its real slide-master layouts and emit a layout catalog + render config. Use when the user wants to "use my own PowerPoint template", "see what layouts my deck has", "onboard a template", "profile this pptx", or before authoring slides against a custom (non-Inner-Chapter) template. Pairs with pptx-author (Step 2) and pptx-from-layouts (Step 3).
