Build a PPTX deck

Purpose

Create a PowerPoint deck by writing a deterministic TypeScript project script that uses the local generator. The generator clones real template slides, fills their editable text fields, applies explicit overrides, can add project-local custom slides when no template fits, renders screenshots (if LibreOffice is installed), and writes a build report.

You can clone template slides, design slides from scratch, or mix both in one deck. Cloning is fastest when a suitable template exists and you want to preserve an existing look; designing from scratch is the right path when no template fits, when the deck is bespoke, or when there is no template library yet. Prefer cloning only when a genuinely suitable template exists.
