Paper Draft

This directory contains the LaTeX draft for an arXiv-style paper about L20-CodeForge.

The draft is intentionally written as a measured research report. It claims system-level gains, not a new model checkpoint.

Build

With Tectonic:

cd paper
tectonic main.tex

With a standard TeX installation:

cd paper
pdflatex main.tex
bibtex main
pdflatex main.tex
pdflatex main.tex
