nx_paper_forge.nx -- SOVEREIGN arXiv-shaped MANUSCRIPT COMPILER, engine half (AS-1). A paper here is not prose someone typed: it is COMPILED from an evidence ledger. Every quantitative claim in the body is written as a placeholder {ID}; the forge resolves ID against the ledger and emits `<value> [ev:ID]`. Two hard refusals live in this engine and are exercised by nx_paper_forge_gate: REFUSE-UNCITED a {ID} with no ledger row -> pf_expand returns -1 -> the CLI writes NOTHING. Inherited from nx_paper_gen's cite-or-refuse doctrine and made total: you cannot forget a citation, because the paper will not exist without it. REFUSE-UNSTRUCTURED a manuscript missing a section the ruler grades -> pf_required returns >0 -> the CLI writes NOTHING. The forge cannot emit a paper that its own ruler would structurally reject. pf_required calls nx_paperbench's pb_find, so the FORGE and the RULER share ONE definition of "does this manuscript contain X" (DRY, rule 15) and cannot drift apart. Integer, deterministic, byte-reproducible for a fixed (conf, ledger) pair. No hw writes (Rule 26). license_tier: ORIGINAL module: nishi-core.research.paper_forge depends: nx_paperbench.nx, nx_syscalls.nx genealogy_id: nx_paper_gen_cite_or_refuse + reforms_required_sections
