Paper LaTeX sanitizer
Internal deterministic pre-publication sanitizer for meta-paper-write.
It runs before the length, citation, and publication-quality gates.
The sanitizer performs only two bounded repairs:
- normalize U+2011, U+2013, and isolated U+2014 punctuation to LaTeX-safe
ASCII equivalents while preserving paired Chinese em dashes (
——);
- when
EVIDENCE_STATUS: not_supplied, replace concrete forecast magnitudes
in results-facing sections with TBD / 待实验确定. Planned setup values
remain intact. A declared result threshold remains intact only when the same
magnitude is present in the authoritative user request/paper contract;
labeling an invented number as a target or hypothesis does not preserve it;
- remove only the known generated
figure_placeholder_template or
table_placeholder_template input line when the same manuscript already
contains the corresponding inlined figure/table environment. Arbitrary user
\input{...} commands and non-redundant template inputs remain untouched.
For an artifact-backed package, the referenced MANUSCRIPT_PATH is replaced
atomically and the compact manifest is returned. Inline manuscript packages
are normalized in the returned package. This step is not a quality gate: the
independent paper-quality-gate must still run afterwards and block any
unsupported semantic claims that remain.
