The 250-line cap applies to prose too, and the reports were the worst
offenders -- ENUME's projectA.tex alone was 1,876 lines. Each is now a
preamble plus one \input{} per section, which is how a long LaTeX document is
normally organised; not one byte of prose was rewritten.
"The PDF is unchanged" is checked by a script rather than by eye, because
hashing the PDF cannot work: pdflatex stamps a /CreationDate and an /ID into
every build, so two runs of the SAME source already differ. tex_fingerprint.sh
compares what a reader sees instead -- page count plus a hash of the extracted
text -- and it is stable across rebuilds of untouched sources, which is the
property that makes it usable as a gate.
It earned its keep immediately. Both ECOTE reports quote an example LaTeX
document inside an lstlisting block, so \end{document} appears in the middle
of the file; splitting on the FIRST one stranded everything after it. Same
page count, different text, caught automatically. EOPSY lab3 exposed a second
bug: a \section{} title that runs onto the next line.
Result: 19 .tex over the cap -> 1. The survivor,
ELAC/.../03-building-nfa-...tex, is 418 lines of consecutive tikz figures
with no subsection to split on and needs a hand-placed boundary.
Verified: 29 splits across two passes (section, then subsection for the
pieces still over), every one reporting `unchanged` from
scripts/tex_fingerprint.sh --check.

Running one directory (EADS) had already produced four bugs, so all of them
were run. 11 failed. Every one was real -- either in the coursework or in the
harness I had just written -- and the split was roughly even.
Coursework bugs:
- 15 .tex files use Polish ogonek characters with no fontenc, so pdflatex
dies with "Command \k unavailable in encoding OT1". Fixed where it was
actually needed, not blanket-applied.
- BSS had \documentclass{article}[12pt] -- options after the class name,
where they are not options at all.
- SDM's beamer deck had a stray } on an \item, which took out the frame.
- EOOP/Various/currency included "currency2.hpp"; the file is currency.hpp.
- ECRYPT_PROJECT had the SAME stdlib-shadowing bug as ECOTE: a package named
code/. Renamed to sieve/, and its 99 tests now run. With ECOTE's 26 that
is 125 tests that could not execute at all before today.
Harness bugs, which the run is what exposed:
- COURSE_ENTRY pointed at directories for PORR and ECRYPT_PROJECT, so python
looked for __main__.py and reported the wrong problem.
- main.py was auto-picked via find's first result. EARIN has six labs and
six main.py files, so that ran an arbitrary lab and called it the course.
Now only auto-picked when exactly one exists.
- Only the first requirements.txt was installed, which is why EARIN still
died on gymnasium after a venv was created for it. All of them now.
- The notebook probe accepted jupyter being on PATH. This machine's jupyter
is a pipx shim whose interpreter is gone, so "runnable" was a lie; it now
invokes jupyter --version and PBAD/twm_4 report blocked, honestly.
- Nothing ran a course's tests. Where a suite exists it is now the check,
which matters most for ECRYPT_PROJECT, whose program prompts on stdin and
cannot be run headlessly at all.
- Which directory pytest runs from is course-specific and unguessable, so
stubs pass --test-dir: ECOTE needs program/ for imports, ECRYPT_PROJECT
needs sieve/ because its fixtures open a CSV by relative path.
gates/known-incomplete.txt records the one file that genuinely cannot build:
EOOP/Various/set/set.cpp includes set.hpp, which `git log --all` shows has
never existed here. The course supplied it and only the .cpp was submitted.
That is a factual record with a stated check, not a lint allowlist -- and
fabricating the header would be inventing coursework.
Status is now 36 runnable / 5 no-code / 3 blocked.

All 44 directories now probe: 38 runnable, 5 no-code, 1 blocked (ENUME needs
MATLAB or Octave, neither of which is on this machine).
The runners are stubs over one shared scripts/course_lib.sh rather than 44
copies of the logic, for the same reason the gates live in ~/utils. A stub
passes its kind as ARGUMENTS -- course_main --kind python --entry ... -- "$@"
-- rather than setting globals, because globals a linter cannot see being read
mean SC2034 on every one of them, and the only cure would be 44 disables.
Fixed along the way:
- Generating the stubs overwrote Programming/PSD/run.sh, the original
coursework runner. Restored, and given a --probe early exit instead so it
is otherwise untouched: it installs packages with sudo and starts Kafka,
which is exactly what a probe must not trigger.
- The probe guard only recognised runners containing the literal --probe, so
the new stubs (which delegate to the library) all read unprobed. It now
also accepts delegation to course_lib.sh.
- Blocked probes reported "unknown" because _require_any prints the tool it
found, so probes redirected its stdout -- swallowing the failure reason
too. Split into _probe_any, and ENUME now says exactly what it needs.
- shellcheck runs with -x so it follows the sourced library; without it every
stub reports SC1091 and the only alternative is a per-file disable. The
library itself carries `# shellcheck shell=bash` because it has no shebang
on purpose -- it is sourced, never executed.
Then EADS was actually run, and three of its six C++ files did not compile:
- lab3.cpp: copyDictionary was declared taking Dictionary* but its body used
Node members, and the copy constructor called copyTree(), which does not
exist. The copy also dropped key and balanceFactor. Now compiles AND runs,
printing its AVL tests.
- MidTerm/task2.cpp: a const mismatch between declaration and definition, a
stray semicolon before a function body, findNode calling a Tree method on
a treeNode*, and a while loop that never advanced. sumNodeSub also had no
base case -- unreachable before, because the const mismatch meant its body
was never compiled.
These compiled years ago because older GCC did not diagnose uninstantiated
template bodies. Fragments with no main() are now type-checked with -c rather
than linked, since two of these files are exam answers, not programs.
Binaries go to a gitignored build/ -- an extensionless executable dropped next
to its source is not something .gitignore catches by name.

Five files were outside README / CLAUDE* / DOCS* / TODO*, and two were over
the 250-line cap. Both gates now pass repo-wide.
Renames: the two lowercase readme.md files, and three documents into DOCS-*.
The AIS requirements doc split at its own boundary into functional (101) and
non-functional (174). The WDWR report split into six numbered sections behind
an index that keeps the original filename, 38-235 lines each; 753 lines of
body plus the 18-line header account for all 771 original lines, so nothing
was dropped.
That WDWR file needed checking before splitting: it sits next to main.tex and
main.pdf and looked like a conversion of them. It is not -- main.tex is
project 25406 and the markdown is project 18402, a different document. So it
is authored content and the split is real work, not churn on a build artifact.
Filled the three empty READMEs and replaced ECOTE's, which was a stale copy of
the root README still claiming the group projects were excluded -- they were
merged in by subtree some time ago.
EOPSY/lab1 turned out not to be the code-free directory the survey suggested:
it has modify.sh and modify_examples.sh. The oddly-named empty files beside
them are the exercise's OUTPUT, committed so the before/after state is
visible, and its README now says so rather than leaving them looking like junk.
CLAUDE.md follows the testsAndMisc structure. Writing it caught a nice one:
the md-naming marker is a biconditional, so quoting the literal removal string
in a non-TODO file fails the gate. The gate was right; the text is rephrased.
