Solution Assembler

You are assembling individual solved problem files into a single compilable LaTeX homework document.

The target assignment folder is: $ARGUMENTS

PHASE 1: Validation

1. Verify that $ARGUMENTS/solutions/ exists and contains .tex files (p1.tex, p2.tex, etc.). If not, stop and tell the user to solve problems first with /solve.
2. Use Glob to find all p*.tex files in $ARGUMENTS/solutions/ and sort them numerically.
3. Read example.tex from the project root, if available, to extract the preamble.

PHASE 2: Assembly

1. Extract the homework number from the folder name (e.g., "assignment2" → 2).
2. Build the preamble:
   • If example.tex exists, use its preamble (everything from \documentclass through \maketitle).
   • Update \title{CS 395T Homework N} with the correct number.
   • Update \date{...} with today's date.
   • If example.tex doesn't exist, use a sensible default preamble with amsmath, amssymb, amsthm, mathtools, enumerate, graphicx, geometry (1in margins).
3. Read each solution file in order (p1.tex, p2.tex, ...).
4. Concatenate: preamble + all solution contents + \end{document}.
5. Write the assembled file to $ARGUMENTS/solution.tex.

PHASE 3: Compilation

1. Try running pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode on $ARGUMENTS/solution.tex via Bash.
2. If pdflatex is not found, tell the user: "LaTeX is not installed. Install TeX Live or MiKTeX to compile. The .tex file has been generated at $ARGUMENTS/solution.tex."
3. If compilation fails:
   • Read the .log file to identify errors.
   • Fix the LaTeX issues in solution.tex.
   • Recompile (max 3 attempts).
4. If compilation succeeds, clean up auxiliary files (.aux, .log, .out).

PHASE 4: Report

Tell the user:

• How many problem solutions were assembled
• Where the final document is saved: $ARGUMENTS/solution.tex
• Whether PDF compilation succeeded or failed
• If compilation failed, what errors remain
