Use the Engine’s argument declaration format.

The pinned Engine expects args to map argument names directly to declarations. It rejects type: object here before the prompt can run. Declare name: { type: string, description: The name to greet } directly under args; arguments are required by default. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @README.md around lines 47 - 51:
Update the README argument declaration so args maps argument names directly to their declarations: place name under args and remove the type: object wrapper and required list, since arguments are required by default.

Computes a greeting from the input in Lua, substitutes it into the prose, and
has the model echo it.
Computes a greeting for its `name` argument in Lua, substitutes it into the prose, and has the model echo it.

```lua
var.greeting = "Hello, " .. args .. "!"
var.greeting = "Hello, " .. args.name .. "!"

Read the parsed argument from argv.

The pinned Engine installs args as the raw input string and argv as its parsed value. Even after fixing the declaration, args.name is nil for the sample input, so concatenation fails. Use argv.name. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @README.md at line 59:
Update the greeting expression to read the parsed name from argv.name instead of args.name, preserving the existing concatenation and greeting output.

The prompt declares no models, so `models.infer(prose)` runs on the Host's default model. Given the input `Ada`, the first block in `## Main` builds `Hello, Ada!`, the placeholder puts it into the prose, and `models.infer(prose)` sends that prose to the model. The model's reply is the run's result. A prompt can pick another of the five roles (`default`, `strong`, `small`, `fast`, `creative`) with `models.use(role)`, and the Host decides which model fills each role. The paragraph above `## Main` never reaches the model, because text before the first heading with no Lua block in it is a comment.
The `args:` key declares the one argument the prompt takes, a required string named `name`. The prompt declares no models, so `models.infer(prose)` runs on the Host's default model. Given the arguments `{"name":"Ada"}`, the first block in `## Main` builds `Hello, Ada!`, the placeholder puts it into the prose, and `models.infer(prose)` sends that prose to the model. The model's reply is the run's result. A prompt can pick another of the five roles (`default`, `strong`, `small`, `fast`, `creative`) with `models.use(role)`, and the Host decides which model fills each role.
