"""Guards for the LaTeX authoring guidance and the example documents.

Three silent-failure modes live here, all found by the 2026-08-19 review
(F9, F31, F34). Each one produces a clean compile and a green CI run
while the rendered document or its ATS extraction is wrong, so the spec
files and the example sources are the only place a test can catch them:

- F9: a bullet written as `\\item [text]` is parsed as moderncv's
  optional label, rendered off the left page edge, and dropped from the
  PDF text layer. The example CV shipped that way for months.
- F31: an unescaped `%` in body text silently truncates the rest of the
  line (`&` at least fails loudly). The guidance must name the escapes.
- F34: `pdftotext` without `-enc UTF-8` emits Latin-1 on Xpdf builds,
  so a correct Danish CV fails the documented "no replacement
  characters" check and the agent is sent to "fix" a healthy document.
