The PR description/README mention new capabilities (12-language support, cover/bio builders, new export templates), but the catalog entry description hasn’t been updated and still reflects the older feature set. Please update this description to match the current preset capabilities so specify preset search/info results aren’t misleading.

This table row reads a bit ungrammatically: “two style modes, author voice sample or humanized AI prose”. Consider adjusting punctuation/wording (e.g., use a colon after “two style modes” and add the missing article) to keep the README description clear.
