E8117 error

profiles = true on a per-character SavedVariable

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: yes

profiles = true was given for a per-character SavedVariable. Profiles let characters share setups, so they need an account-wide SavedVariable; the active profile of each character goes into <name>PerChar.

Bind an account-wide SavedVariable (addon.saved-variables) with profiles, and add its <name>PerChar to addon.saved-variables-per-character.
