Adversarial Quarto vs Beamer QA

Beamer PDF is the gold standard. Quarto must match or exceed it.

Hard gates (non-negotiable)

• No content cut off (overflow)
• Interactive charts ≥ static where applicable
• Content parity (no missing slides/equations/text)
• Visual quality ≥ Beamer
• Slide centering stable; notation verbatim from Beamer

Workflow (single agent, two phases per round)

1. Critic phase: Compare Beamer (.tex/.pdf) and Quarto (.qmd/.html) for the lecture. List every issue (Critical / Major / Minor). Save to quality_reports/[Lecture]_qa_critic_roundN.md. If no blocking issues, state "APPROVED" and stop.

2. Fixer phase: Apply fixes from the critic report (Critical first, then Major, then Minor). Re-render Quarto. Do not self-approve.

3. Re-audit: Run critic again on the updated Quarto. If not APPROVED and rounds < 5, repeat from step 2. After 5 rounds, report remaining issues to the user.

4. Final report: Save quality_reports/[Lecture]_qa_final.md with gate status and any remaining issues.

Pre-flight

• Locate Beamer and Quarto files; re-render if .qmd newer than .html; verify TikZ SVGs if used.
