installed document classes not seen by LyX?

[Lyx v2.4.4, OSX 15.6]

I'm interested in using a document class screenplay.cls. It is
present here:

/usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/tex/latex/screenplay/screenplay.cls

texlive sees it as installed (see below)  and LyX's TeX info
shows it, too (see below).

but i cannot select the screenplay class (see below, it is not even
listed as Unavailable) via document settings.

This seems to be a LyX (not TeX/LaTeX) issue. I can make a
simple LaTeX document:

> \documentclass{screenplay}
> \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
> \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
> \usepackage{babel}
> \begin{document}
> Seeds
> \end{document}

that is processed correctly:

> latex tstSeedScreenplay.tex
> This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.27 (TeX Live 2025) (preloaded format=latex)
>  restricted \write18 enabled.

> Document Class: screenplay 2012/06/30 v1.6 LaTeX2e Draft Screenplay document cl
> ass (C)2006 John Pate released under the GNU General Public License

LyX seems to be (not) looking at all the texmf-dist resources?
thanks for any suggestions.
