In manual cycling mode (MAN), who must manually update the system when adding a new waypoint?

Explanation:
Manual cycling mode requires a person at the controls to update navigation data when a new waypoint is added. In this mode, updates to the waypoint list are entered manually by the crewmember who is operating the navigation system, ensuring the operator verifies and loads the new point into the active route and cues the system to the next leg. The autopilot follows the established instructions but does not autonomously modify or insert new waypoints in MAN mode. Ground engineers and weather officers provide support, but they do not perform cockpit navigation data updates during flight.
