Venue Fork: Second-Venue Submission Variant

Fork a paper for a second venue while the original submission keeps living. A fork is a copy (both venues track independently), unlike retarget-journal (a move) and preprint (a non-archival variant that must NOT get a vault submission entry).

When to Use

• A venue window explicitly permits concurrent submission (e.g. WINE 2026 ⟷ FOCS/SAGT/AFT 2026)
• A rejected paper needs a reformatted version for a differently-formatted venue
• the user says "submit this also to X", "concurrent submission to X", "make the X version"
