Publication audit workflow

Use the deterministic infrastructure gate first:

bash
uv run python -m infrastructure.validation.cli publication-audit \
  --project templates/template_code_project --strict --rendered --format markdown

Then run the project’s tests, methods plan, prerender gate, render, output validation, no-mock inventory, and clean double-run comparison. Treat only stable validator failures as blocking. Preserve review_required findings for human assessment of scientific scope, unsupported generalization, prose, and visual quality.

Required evidence

• real tests and zero prohibited mock frameworks;
• source-backed claim ledger and evidence registry;
• methods-to-stage-to-artifact mapping with definitions of done;
• figure registry with labels, captions, provenance, and existing files;
• generated artifact manifest and validation report;
• clean rendered PDF/HTML/slides where supported;
• second-run comparison with no unexplained differences.

Never hand-edit generated output. Correct the source producer or manuscript source and regenerate the affected artifacts.
