`build-dashboard`, `freshness`, `export`, `resume-gather`, `compose-kg`, …) so
the chain can be run by hand without `python scripts/<x>.py` per stage.

**Auxiliary producer (off the linear chain):**

| Producer | Kind | Consumes | Primary artifact | Verified by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `scripts/emit_bibtex.py` (`emit-bibtex`) | producer | `bib_ledger.yml` + cache | a biblatex `.bib` | `validators/bibtex_out.py` |

`emit-bibtex` is a deterministic ledger→BibTeX transform for manuscript
authoring, not a gated pipeline stage. The ledger `authors` field is a display
string, so it reconstructs real author lists from the cached arXiv Highwire
`citation_author` tags (the same bytes the excerpt anchors point into), falling
back to a live arXiv Atom lookup (re-cached, so still anchored) and then to the
ledger display string (flagged on stderr). It escapes `& % # _ $` only — never
braces (that destroys BibTeX brace-protection).

## What is agent-authored vs deterministic
