Hi, I am developing JavaScript watchfaces using Alloy, and I have hit a bit of a wall trying to take advantage of `poco.blendOutline` to render an outline.

I tried to build a project with `import { Outline } from "commodetto/outline"`, but the debugger revealed that the import fails with a runtime error when the module `commodetto/outline` is not found.

The [Commodetto docs for Outline](https://www.moddable.com/documentation/commodetto/outline/Outlines) say to update the manifest to include `manifest_outline_poco.json`, which no longer exists. Browsing through the Moddable github examples I see [random-ellipses](https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable/blob/public/examples/commodetto/outline/random-ellipses/manifest.json) which has a manifest that references `"$(MODDABLE)/modules/commodetto/outline"`. When I try that, `pebble build` informs me that modules can’t contain native code, and it hints that I might have meant to build with `mcconfig`.

What am I missing? Are my only routes for using Outline to convert my watchface to `piu` or abandon JavaScript in favor of C?
