Autopilot did not create the purchase orders I expected

Autopilot declines to run for four specific reasons, and all four are silent by design so it never surprises you with unwanted orders:

1. It is switched off.
2. Your plan does not include it. Autopilot is a paid feature; on a plan without it, the setting has no effect.
3. It already ran recently. Autopilot runs on a weekly cadence and will not run twice in the same window, so a manual nudge shortly after an automatic run does nothing.
4. The store has no configuration yet. A store that has never saved its settings has no lead times or targets to forecast from.
