AI-Run Modern LaTeX Manuscript Workflow and Replication Packet

This record contains a public, reusable workflow note and sanitized replication material for an AI-run, human-directed pipeline that modernizes public-domain mathematical manuscripts into source-checkable LaTeX, reader PDFs, translations, audit packages, GitHub mirrors, and Zenodo releases. The packet documents the practical workflow: source acquisition and indexing, chunking, TeX transcription, compilation, visual/text auditing, translation passes, reader/artifact packaging, Zenodo publication, GitHub mirroring, and preservation of provenance artifacts. The 2026-06-09 refresh adds a sharper public rule for OCR and math-extraction outputs: OCR, Pix2Text/Pix2TeX-style formula output, VLM output, detector candidates, and AI draft TeX are witness or locator layers until a source-specific audit promotes them. The refreshed packet includes a diagram/formula witness-aid rule, quality rubric, release checklist, and sample SGA5 witness-aid manifests showing the preferred structure: source authority first, labelled high-resolution crops, source/TeX anchor ledgers, triage statuses, checksums, method limits, and explicit distinction between candidate evidence and promoted repairs. Corrections and improvements can be suggested through the GitHub repository via issues or pull requests.
