Venue guidelines compliance

Check one active paper and submission package against one precisely scoped set of official venue requirements. Produce an evidence-bound report and a canonical review-state row. Never edit the manuscript, bibliography, guideline evidence, project metadata, or submission files.

Inputs

Accept a paper path or infer it from the current project. Optional arguments may specify:

• --venue <venue-slug>;
• --guidelines <path-or-url> for an explicit guide or official instruction source;
• --official-source <url> for an additional official source (repeatable);
• --stage initial|revision|camera-ready;
• --paper-only to exclude portal-only and package-only requirements;
• --trigger <orchestrator> when invoked by another workflow.

If several paper-* directories exist, require an explicit paper. If the venue, article/content type, track, cycle, or submission stage is ambiguous, ask in an interactive standalone run. In a non-interactive or orchestrated run, record INCOMPLETE; never guess.
