Mac Shortcuts limitations: what it still can't do in macOS 27

macOS 27 fixed a lot in Shortcuts. Six limits are left, from no run history to no webhooks. I tested each one, with screenshots, and say where it matters.

One Cloud plan, and the webhook relay now comes with the license

Watchflows 1.55 retires two plans and the owner trial. There is one Cloud plan at $12, the public webhook relay is part of the $49 license, and Spark packs need no subscription.

The new first run skips the Mac automation learning curve

Watchflows used to start you on a blank canvas. The new first run finds the AI on your Mac, builds a flow with it, and runs it once on a real file.
