Document two critical scenarios where progressive profiling silently fails: missing Munchkin tracking code on external pages, and forms embedded in emails where JavaScript is stripped by email clients. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Adds two missing failure-mode warnings to the progressive profiling documentation:
[!CAUTION]: Progressive profiling relies on the Munchkin cookie. If the form is embedded on an external page without the Munchkin tracking snippet installed, progressive profiling fails silently — all fields display every time regardless of previously captured data.[!NOTE]: Progressive profiling does not work in forms embedded within emails. Email clients strip the JavaScript required for it to function, so all fields will always be shown.These are the two most common failure modes for progressive profiling in production and are currently undocumented.
