batch-to-pdf

Produce a single typeset PDF from a Local-Web-Capture batch directory.

Inputs

Either:

• An existing batch id (produced by batch-capture) — resolve to <capture-root>/batches/<batch-id>/.
• A list of URLs — in which case run batch-capture first (without --pdf), then compile its output.

If the user hands over a plain directory that looks like a batch folder (has report.agent.json + articles/), accept it directly.

Preconditions

• typst must be on PATH. If missing, install via cargo install typst-cli or brew install typst. Do not silently skip.
• <batch-dir>/report.agent.json must exist — this is the structured manifest the template reads. If only a markdown report exists, regenerate the agent JSON first (re-run batch-capture in report-only mode).
