Restructure an academic paper's title and section structure to match a target journal's house style. Asks the user to specify the target journal first, then adjusts main.tex accordingly (title wording and case, section skeleton, heading case, numbering scheme, merging/splitting sections).

I am submitting my paper in `./drafts/asset_pricing` to the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI). What is the first step in Phase 1 if JFI is not explicitly listed in the reference profiles file?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The response states that the profile should be derived from the closest journal family or recent issue tables of contents. | Missed | Passed |
| The response specifies presenting the derived profile to the user for confirmation before proceeding. | Missed | Passed |

This skill adapts an existing academic paper (main.tex) to the house style of a target journal, focusing on two things:
The skill asks the user for the target journal first, before analyzing the paper, because the journal determines every subsequent judgment. It then proposes a complete restructuring plan, gets approval, and applies the changes to main.tex in place.
Scope discipline: This skill changes structure, not content. Body prose is never rewritten, except for minimal transition sentences where sections are merged (the opening sentence of a merged section must announce its combined contents). Empirical results, tables, figures, citations, and arguments are untouched.
Input: A project folder containing main.tex (plus tables/figures subfolders, ref.bib, possibly journal .sty/.bst files).
Output: Revised main.tex with journal-conforming title and section structure.
Receive folder path from user (via $ARGUMENTS or ask). Verify main.tex exists with Glob.
Check for Dropbox conflict copies before any editing: Glob for files matching *冲突副本* or *conflicted copy* in the project folder. If found, warn the user and stop until they resolve which version is canonical (concurrent Overleaf editing can silently revert edits).
Ask for the target journal — unless it was already given in $ARGUMENTS. Use AskUserQuestion with the most common targets as options plus free-form "Other":
Ask this before reading the paper. The journal choice drives the entire analysis.
