#' Generate a graphical abstract PNG
#'
#' A single-figure summary of the highlighted specification, composed
#' as a multi-panel layout with conceptual arrows. Renders via ggplot2
#' to PNG.
#'
#' Chain stage: \strong{graphical_abstract} (length 5). See [progress()].
#'
#' @inheritParams manuscript
#' @return A length-one character vector giving the path to the written
#'   PNG file, returned invisibly. Called for its side effect of
#'   generating the graphical abstract in `output_dir` and advancing the
#'   publication chain.
#' @export
