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.
