## Description

Build and preflight submission-ready LaTeX/PDF artifacts for Light stage 11. Use when receiving a paper-writing manuscript, figure delivery, citation delivery.json/references.bib/citekey-audit.json, or a venue/template profile; when selecting pdfLaTeX/XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX and BibTeX/Biber; when diagnosing LaTeX errors or unresolved references; when checking page limits, double-blind identity, PDF metadata, template, page box, embedded fonts, TODOs, figures, tables, labels and citations; or when producing a reproducible compile manifest, PDF, compliance report, failure bundle and venue-matching handoff. Distinguishes PASS, manuscript ERROR, toolchain UNAVAILABLE and convergence UNRESOLVED without redoing citation authenticity or figure scientific QA.

# Typesetting · stage 11

Turn approved author artifacts into a reproducible PDF submission bundle. The
job is not merely to make LaTeX compile: preserve provenance, select a coherent
engine/backend, preflight dependencies, compile to convergence, locate the
first root cause, run profile-driven desk-reject checks, and hand exact PDF/page
facts to venue-matching.

Read `typesetting-resource-map.md` before running a real build. Read
`references/build_contract.md` before writing or consuming machine artifacts.
Use `references/latex_errors.md` only after the first source-located error is
known. Use a venue template under `templates/` only when it matches the current
author kit; the bundled copy is a starting point, not current venue truth.
