When do Shoggoths move?
The designer confirmed that setup placement does not move a Shoggoth, and the rulebook's Shoggoths Move text covers the rest.

Only when a Summoning card showing the Shoggoth icon is revealed during the Summoning step. Each Shoggoth then moves one location toward the nearest open gate. Placing a Shoggoth at setup or through Evil Stirs does not move it, and icons with no Shoggoths on the board do nothing.
