Our take

Mature, frequently versioned project (v3.23.0) with a human-in-the-loop design that pauses for confirmation at each stage, plus integrity gates and an opt-in claim audit pass (ARS_CLAIM_AUDIT=1). The README notes that the claim-audit calibration has not yet been validated against a live judge. Licensed CC BY-NC 4.0, so commercial use is restricted; Pandoc and tectonic are optional for DOCX/PDF output.
