Conventions

1. One paper, one directory. No top-level .tex files.
2. Modular sections. Main .tex \input's sections/NN-name.tex files for easy editing.
3. Shared cover. All papers use \usepackage{shared/zoocover} and \zoocoverpage.
4. Shared lstlang. All papers use \input{shared/lstlang} after \usepackage{listings}.
5. No AI slop. Technical, dense, citation-supported.
6. One paper per concept. Updates over time via versioning, not duplication.
