Tectonic shows 'internal consistency problem' warnings on repeated bibtex runs #2

Description

Tectonic (Rust-based LaTeX compiler) emits "internal consistency problem" warnings when bibtex is run multiple times. This is cosmetic only — the compiled PDF is correct.

Current State

  • File: paper/main.tex compiled with tectonic main.tex
  • Warnings appear on repeated compilation but do not affect output
  • This is a known upstream tectonic behavior, not a bug in our LaTeX source

Why Deferred

This is an upstream tool issue in tectonic. The warnings are cosmetic and do not affect the compiled PDF. No action needed unless tectonic releases a fix or we switch LaTeX compilers.

Suggested Fix

  • Monitor tectonic releases for a fix
  • Alternatively, suppress warnings if tectonic adds a flag for it

Verification

  • cd paper && tectonic main.tex compiles successfully (warnings acceptable)

Automation Hints

do-not-touch: analysis/, autoresearch-*/
approach: monitor-upstream
risk: low
max-files-changed: 0
blocked-by: none
bail-if: always — this is deferred, do not attempt to fix

Priority

Low
