+# IEEE `IEEEtran` conference
+
+The card of the template family `paperlint:ieee-conference`
+([`ieee-conference.jsonc`](ieee-conference.jsonc)). A family is what a publisher's template
+decides, whatever the venue: it names no venue and has no call for papers. A venue preset extends
+it and adds what its own call sets — the class options it names, the page limit of each kind of
+paper, the sections it requires. The template is [IEEEtran on CTAN](https://ctan.org/pkg/ieeetran).
+
+## What the family encodes
+
+- **The class**: `\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}`. A venue that requires `compsoc` names it
+  in its own template and its own text block (as `aidc` does).
+- **The page**: US letter, 8.5 × 11 in; the text block of `[conference]`, 7.14 × 9.30 in; two
+  columns.
+- **The fonts**: Times (the URW clone the PDF names NimbusRomNo9L) for text, headings and title;
+  body at 10 pt, the bibliography at 8 pt (IEEEtran sets it in `\footnotesize`).
+- **TeX packages** on top of the base set: ieeetran, cite, psnfss and times.
+
+The numbers are measured, not copied: IEEE's own template files (`bare_conf.tex`,
+`bare_conf_compsoc.tex`) and a 13-page paper built on each with IEEEtran.cls V1.8b, on two TeX Live
+versions. `compsoc` changes the text block and the headings, and nothing the `pdf/*` rules judge.
+
+## What the family resolves to
+
+<!-- paperlint:preset-rules -->
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+<!-- Generated from ieee-conference.jsonc by `npx eslint --fix` (rule preset/card-rules). Edit the preset, not this section. -->
+
+**`paperlint:ieee-conference`** — template family, no venue of its own · extended by `paperlint:aidc`
+
+No preset of this chain sets a rule: under it, every rule keeps paperlint's default.

+# REALM @ EMNLP
+
+The card of the venue preset `paperlint:realm` ([`realm.jsonc`](realm.jsonc)): what the venue asks
+for, in prose. The numbers a machine checks live in the preset; the section at the end is generated
+from it. The `submit-paper` skill reads this card for the venue's specifics.
+
+**Family: ACL.** What is ACL-wide (the appendix rule, Limitations and Ethics outside the limit,
+anonymity, OpenReview mechanics) lives in `paper-pipeline/references/acl-venue-rules.md`; only
+REALM's own facts are here. ACL's template is not a class — `acl_latex.tex` loads `acl.sty` into
+`\documentclass[11pt]{article}` — so this preset extends no family and carries the template's
+numbers itself.

+## Paper kinds and limits
+
+| kind    | at submission | at camera-ready | references and appendices |

+| `long`  |       8 pages |         9 pages |                 unlimited |
+| `short` |       4 pages |         5 pages |                 unlimited |
+
+🔴 **The page limit is not gated by the preset**, and that is a measurement: banal counts
+Limitations and Ethics as body, which ACL excludes from the limit, so a gate on its count reports a
+paper inside the limit. The numbers sit in the preset's `page_limits_not_gated`, as data for a
+counter that knows where the body ends; the two kinds exist so a paper can name its own.
+
+## What else the preset encodes
+
+- **The template**: `\documentclass[11pt]{article}` (`tex/template`), A4, two columns, Times at
+  11 pt, references between 9 and 11 pt — measured on a build, not copied from ACL's text.
+- **TeX packages** `acl.sty` needs: lineno, and the Times, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol and Zapf
+  Dingbats fonts (without them: "Font ptmr8t not loadable" and no PDF).
+- **Names**: `REALM` and `EMNLP`, what `tex/venue-leftover` looks for in another venue's paper.
+
+## 🔴 The submission form has no supplementary field
+
+From `api2.openreview.net/invitations?id=EMNLP/2026/Workshop/REALM/-/Submission`, the form's
+**complete** field list:
+
+```
+title · authors · authorids · keywords · TLDR · abstract · pdf ·
+archival · cross_submission_to · serve_as_reviewer · venue · venueid
+```
+
+There is no Responsible NLP Checklist and no supplementary upload. So:
+
+1. **Host the artifact externally and anonymously**, with the URL inside the PDF — a submission
+   blocker, and an artifact reviewer refuses the Available badge without a resolving URL.
+2. **Do not confuse this route with ARR**, whose portal does have the checklist and separate
+   software and data uploads.
+3. **No checklist means no LLM-disclosure field here**: put the disclosure in Limitations or Ethical
+   considerations, both outside the page limit
+   (`paper-pipeline/references/acl-venue-rules.md`, §GenAI / LLM disclosure).
+
+`keywords` is a form field, so a keyword line does **not** belong in the typeset PDF.

+
+Then **Submit** / Cancel.
+
+🔴 **The displayed deadline is not when writes stop.** An OpenReview invitation carries two dates
+and the interface shows only the first:
+
+| field                                                          | 2026 edition, UTC |
+| -------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
+| `duedate` — printed everywhere as the deadline                 | 2026-08-06 11:59  |
+| `expdate` — when the invitation actually stops accepting edits | 2026-08-06 12:29  |
+
+A 30-minute window, undocumented in the call and invisible on the form. Read it before the last
+hour:
+
+```
+curl -sS "https://api2.openreview.net/invitations?id=<VENUE-PATH>/-/Submission" \
+  | python3 -c "import json,sys,datetime;[print(k, datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(i[k]/1000)) \
+    for i in json.load(sys.stdin)['invitations'] for k in ('duedate','expdate') if i.get(k)]"
+```
+
+Do not plan around it — a venue may set `expdate == duedate`. It is room to recover from a defect
+found at the deadline, not a schedule.
+
+## Traps
+
+- **The title lives in two places, and they diverge silently.** Change the paper first, rebuild,
+  then fill the form — never the other way round.
+- **"Serve As Reviewer" enrols the nominee.** The day after submission the program chairs assign
+  papers and set a review deadline (2026: submissions 5 August, reviews due 21 August AoE, sixteen
+  days). ACL's AI policy applies to the reviews, verbatim from the chairs' email: _"the use of
+  generative AI tools to write an entire review is prohibited. While such tools may be used for
+  minor editing (e.g., grammar or clarity), the content and assessment must be the reviewer's
+  own."_ The sanction lands on submissions to the next ARR cycle. Price the reviewing window in
+  before submitting, and check whether a decision about reviewing was already made before filling
+  a required field.
+- **Keywords are a form field, not paper content.** Keep the list in a non-typeset comment in the
+  source and paste it here.
+- **The abstract field accepts markdown**, so paste the source abstract. Extracting it from the
+  built PDF is a mistake: on a line-numbered build the extractor interleaves the margin numbers and
+  drops paragraphs.
+- **The deadline's time zone is stated in a different sentence** of the call than the date. Read
+  the whole page, then convert.
+- **OpenReview profile moderation is the critical path.** An author with no institutional email and
+  no DBLP record has no expedite route; start the profile weeks ahead.
+- The workshop's hybrid status comes from REALM's own root page, not EMNLP's general one.
+
+## The ARR route is not a free fallback
+
+The 31 August "ARR commitment" deadline commits a paper **already reviewed by ACL Rolling Review**.
+A paper never submitted to ARR needs an ARR submission first, on ARR's own cycle.

+a paper gets when it extends no preset. It is neither a venue nor a template family, and no preset
+extends it — a venue's or a family's `tex.packages` is added on top of it, never instead of it.
+`paperlint toolchain` installs it with every preset's packages; `paperlint build` checks it is
+present before building.
+
+What it is for: a plain `article` paper with the usual tools, typeset in Type 1 fonts. Each package
+names the files that prove it is installed — `kpsewhich` must find them after an install, because
+an installer's exit code is not the criterion. `cm-super` is there because without it pdflatex
+silently rasterizes Computer Modern in some contexts, a bitmap font that ACM and ACL both reject.
+`texcount` and `checkcites` are programs the skills run, not files LaTeX loads.
+
+## What the preset resolves to
+
+<!-- paperlint:preset-rules -->
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+<!-- Generated from tex-base.jsonc by `npx eslint --fix` (rule preset/card-rules). Edit the preset, not this section. -->
+
+**`tex-base.jsonc`** — the TeX base set: every paper gets it, whatever it extends, and no preset extends it
+
+No preset of this chain sets a rule: under it, every rule keeps paperlint's default.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

 - the paper's \`<paper>/paperlint.json\` (\`{ "extends": "paperlint:<venue>", "kind": "<kind>" }\`) — which venue preset the \`pdf/*\` rules check the built PDF against; a venue with no shipped preset extends a family (\`paperlint:acm-sigconf\`) or the project's own \`./venues/<name>.jsonc\`. Findings about the venue's page limit or format belong in that preset, with their source quote.
