Description

GOAL: produce paper_prep/synthesis/MANUSCRIPT_DRAFT.pdf from paper_prep/synthesis/MANUSCRIPT_DRAFT.md.
TOOLS: pandoc and xelatex are both available now.
TASK:
  1. Inspect MANUSCRIPT_DRAFT.md for figure references. Figures live under paper_prep/figures/{fig1..fig4,ed1..ed8}/ as PDF (and possibly PNG). xelatex with pandoc CAN embed PDF figures directly, so usually no conversion is needed — but if any figure include fails, convert that PDF to PNG with 'pdftoppm -png -r 200 INPUT OUTPUT_PREFIX' into a temp dir and rewrite the reference in a working copy of the markdown.
  2. Render command (try this first):
       cd paper_prep/synthesis && pandoc MANUSCRIPT_DRAFT.md \
         --pdf-engine=xelatex --toc \
         --citeproc --bibliography=REFERENCES.bib \
         -V geometry:margin=1in -V mainfont='DejaVu Serif' -V monofont='DejaVu Sans Mono' \
         -o MANUSCRIPT_DRAFT.pdf 2>&1 | tee render.log
     If xelatex complains about a font, drop -V mainfont/monofont and let it use the default. If --citeproc fails on REFERENCES.bib, try without --citeproc as a fallback (we will fix bib later) and log the citeproc error.
  3. Verify: 'file paper_prep/synthesis/MANUSCRIPT_DRAFT.pdf' should report 'PDF document'; 'pdfinfo paper_prep/synthesis/MANUSCRIPT_DRAFT.pdf' should show >= 5 pages.
  4. Record paper_prep/synthesis/MANUSCRIPT_DRAFT.pdf as a wg artifact. DO NOT git add (it's gitignored).
  5. Save render.log as paper_prep/synthesis/render.log and DO NOT git add it either.
ACCEPTANCE: PDF exists, file says PDF, pdfinfo >= 5 pages, wg artifact recorded. If unrecoverable error, wg fail with the specific xelatex error line.
