  • Structured issue detection: Checks grammar, typos, overflow (LaTeX/Quarto), citation/notation consistency, and overall academic writing quality.
  • Actionable outputs for review: Produces per-file markdown reports saved under quality_reports/ with location, current text, proposed fix, category, and severity; includes an end summary across files.
