AI-Run Modern LaTeX Manuscript Workflow and Replication Packet

Compact workflow and replication record for the Modern LaTeX Editions of Mathematics Manuscripts project. It documents the AI-run scan-to-TeX-to-translation-to-audit-to-publication workflow, including local source acquisition, OCR/math-OCR witness generation, source-image slicing, high-DPI object crops, TeX compilation, web review handoffs, GitHub mirroring, and Zenodo publication. Latest update, 2026-06-24. Adds a source-witness/public-surface addendum from the current SGA, Noether, Gordan, Steinitz, Deligne, and Cayley maintenance lessons. The addendum formalizes the distinction between OCR/source-witness aids, working drafts, source-witnessed tranches, source-closed loci, and critical editions; it also records when audit/survival/no-patch bundles belong on Zenodo and when they should remain pending provenance. Workflow status. The record is a reusable workflow packet, not a claim that any particular mathematical edition is critically complete. OCR, VLM, detector, crop, candidate-TeX, derivative PDF, and source-inventory outputs are witness and locator layers unless a source-specific audit promotes them. Source scans and source-object witnesses remain authority for transcription claims. Corrections and contributions. Workflow corrections, tool notes, reproducibility improvements, and issue reports can be suggested through the GitHub mirror via issues or pull requests: https://github.com/KokunoYumeto/modern-latex-manuscripts.
