## Description

Internal mobile-app workflow read and executed only by /setup-offline-profile to enable Dataverse table prerequisites for a Mobile Offline Profile.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

**Shared instructions: [shared-instructions.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md)**, read first.

**References:**

- [offline-profile-schema.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/references/offline-profile-schema.md), entity field map (`IsAvailableOffline`, `ChangeTrackingEnabled`)

# Enable Tables Offline

Flip `IsAvailableOffline=true` AND `ChangeTrackingEnabled=true` on the `EntityMetadata` of one or more Dataverse tables, then publish customizations. This is the prerequisite shown in Image 4 of the maker portal ("Can be taken offline" + "Track changes"), without both, a table CANNOT be added to a Mobile Offline Profile.

Sequential (Dataverse metadata lock) and idempotent: re-running on an already-enabled table is a no-op.

## Invocation context and root binding

This internal helper is always a **child invocation**. Before any project read or
command, execute [app-working-directory.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/references/app-working-directory.md).
Require the owner's absolute `working_dir`; `--working-dir`, when supplied, must
identify that same native-canonical root. Missing, relative, or conflicting root
context returns `NEEDS_CONTEXT` before project access; an inaccessible directory
is `BLOCKED`. Never use the launch cwd or introduce another root resolver.

Receive `MOBILE_APP_ORCHESTRATING=1`, `orchestrator: setup-offline-profile`,
`working_dir`, `phase`, `approved_scope`, and supplied answers. Preserve the
selected environment ID/URL/tenant and exact table/prerequisite/publication
allowlist. The marker is not approval. Reuse only matching current offline
approval; a missing or changed scope returns `NEEDS_CONTEXT` to the owner.
For `--plan-only` or a planning-phase handoff, return the proposed prerequisite
changes after permitted read-only inspection, before PUT, publication, or
artifact writes. A gate response cannot lift proposal-only mode.
