FINAL PDF AND BUILD TECHNICAL REVIEW
18 October 2026. Independent delivery check before Publisher assessment.

Verdict: PASS. No publication-blocking technical issue found in the final
PDF, build helper, or review-1-to-final proof binding. This report does
not authorize publication and does not replace Publisher assessment.

Mathematical review binding
----------------------------
Direct unified source comparison with evidence/source_review1 found only:
(a) main.tex adds PDF title, author, subject and keyword metadata;
(b) references.tex adds a local ragged-right bibliography group and
replaces the visible long prior-publication URL with a Permanent archive
label whose actual target remains the same URL.
All four supporting/proof sections are byte-for-byte unchanged. No
mathematical theorem, definition, proof, cited result or bibliography
substance changed. The mathematical verdict of final_cross_review.txt
therefore remains applicable to this final delivery. This check extends
the source binding; it does not rewrite the earlier frozen review.

Build helper audit
--------------------
The helper was read in full. It requires a fresh output directory, invokes
Tectonic as an argument list with --untrusted and --keep-logs, captures
compiler output, rejects a nonzero exit status or missing PDF, and records
the six source hashes and resulting PDF hash. The optional delivery step
refuses to overwrite an existing delivery PDF. The recorded final build
exited zero and its source/PDF hashes match fresh calculation.

No build source is deleted or mutated by this helper. It depends on an
available Tectonic executable and TeX runtime/cache, as selected by its
arguments. A future rebuild can change PDF byte hashes because the PDF
contains a creation timestamp; source equality and successful re-rendering
are distinct from byte-identical PDF reproduction. This is not an error
in the present receipt.

PDF inspection
----------------
The exact delivered PDF was freshly rendered using bundled Poppler
pdftoppm at 90 dpi, independently of the preparer's renderings. All 13
pages were visually inspected in seven paired images under
build/independent_technical_render/. Text, mathematical symbols, equation
numbers, section headings, page numbers, author line, short AI disclosure,
and nine references are legible. No clipped equation, overlapping text,
visible missing-glyph box, or page overflow was found. The bibliography
presentation change removes the long-URL layout concern.

A fresh pdfplumber character-box check found no character extending beyond
any page boundary. The final TeX log has no missing-character warning,
overfull box, undefined reference/citation, LaTeX error, or emergency stop.
The log contains ordinary font-request diagnostics and one underfull box
(badness 1314); visual inspection found no corresponding layout defect.
An environment Fontconfig diagnostic is present, but all 14 used font
resources are embedded and rendering succeeded. One mathematical extender
font has no ToUnicode map; visual glyphs are correct, while plain-text
extraction of mathematical extenders need not reproduce their layout.

All internal GoTo annotations resolve to named PDF destinations. The nine
external reference links are present with the intended URI targets,
including the complete prior-publication archive URI behind Permanent
archive. This technical check did not re-fetch those websites.

Metadata contains the full paper title, author Scott Schubr, subject and
keywords. The visible paper date is October 18, 2026. The PDF's UTC
creation date is October 19, consistent with the author's local date.

Limits and subsequent checks
------------------------------
This reviewer also authored geometry.tex, as stated in the separate
mathematical cross-review; this report is an independent technical check
of the preparer's PDF/build output, not a blind review of its own lemma.
No manuscript or preserved baseline was changed during this check.
The package manifest, preservation audit, source ZIP, verifier and handoff
were still being assembled and require their separate frozen-package
audit. This is not a PDF/A, journal-specific-template, external human
refereeing, worldwide-priority, or publication-approval certification.
