Paper length gate
Internal deterministic pre-compile readiness check. The JSON input contains a
paper contract and the compact manuscript manifest. For full manuscripts the
manifest must point to a non-empty .tex file inside the active workspace.
Compact and repair packages retain an inline-LaTeX compatibility path.
This gate checks document structure, citation presence, and a language-aware
minimum body scale that grows with TARGET_PAGES. Its report-only preflight is
used solely to drive one bounded authoring repair; a second fail-closed run must
pass before compilation. It does not claim that the requested number of
pages was produced. compile_pdf remains authoritative and counts pages from
the compiled PDF with pypdf.
