Initialize LaTeX Academic Project

Set up a complete LaTeX academic paper project from the standard template.

Default local workflow assumption: on macOS, do not assume TeX Live or MacTeX is installed. The common workflow is to edit the repo locally, push to GitHub, and compile in Overleaf through its GitHub sync. Skills should not require local latexmk, pdflatex, xelatex, or lualatex for normal writing or submission checks unless the user explicitly wants local compilation and a compiler is actually installed.
