+# Critical Rules — Compact Re-Read
+
+> Quick reference for Phase 2 generation. Full rules in `resume_reference.md`.
+
+## Character Limits
+
+**Resume (10pt, textwidth=7.5in):**
+
+| Target Lines | Rendered Char Range | HARD MAX | Orphan Threshold |
+|-------|---------------|---------|------------------|
+| 1 line | 105-111 chars | 117 | -- |
+| 2 lines | 189-205 chars | 218 | Last line >= 78 chars |
+
+**CV (11pt, textwidth=7.5in):**
+
+| Target Lines | Rendered Char Range | HARD MAX | Orphan Threshold |
+|-------|---------------|---------|------------------|
+| 1 line | 88-93 chars | 101 | -- |
+| 2 lines | 168-182 chars | 190 | Last line >= 65 chars |
+| 3 lines | 250-268 chars | 280 | Last line >= 65 chars |
+
+### Variant Naming
+
+| Variant | Document | Lines | Target Range | HARD MAX | Orphan | Word Target |
+|---------|----------|-------|-------------|----------|--------|-------------|
+| Resume-1L | 1/2-page resume | 1 | 105-111 | 117 | -- | ~13 words |
+| Resume-2L | 2-page resume | 2 | 189-205 | 218 | >= 78 | ~23-25 words |
+| CV-2L | 5-page CV | 2 | 168-182 | 190 | >= 65 | ~21-22 words |
+| CV-3L | 5-page CV | 3 | 250-268 | 280 | >= 65 | ~31-32 words |
+
+## Bold Width Penalty
+
+Resume (10pt): Effective limit = 119 - (0.5 x bold_char_count)
+CV (11pt): Effective limit = 91 - (0.25 x bold_char_count)
+
+## Orphan Rule
+
+Multi-line bullet last rendered line must fill >= 70% of line width.
+Resume 2L: last line >= 78 chars. CV 2L: >= 65 chars. CV 3L: >= 65 chars.
+
+## FIXED Sections — NEVER Modify
+
+All FIXED sections (internships, education, publications, honors/awards, header block) are set in the template.
+NEVER change: \vspace values, \geometry settings, .cls formatting, header layout.
+Only modify VARIABLE sections: Summary, Technical Skills, Experience bullets/headers.
+
+## Provenance Flags
+
+See `CLAUDE.md` for your project-specific provenance flags. Common patterns:
+
+| Item Status | Rule |
+|-------------|------|
+| Under review | State journal name: "under review at [Journal]" |
+| Unpublished | No specific numbers or publication claims |
+| Internal/proprietary | "infrastructure I developed" — not peer-reviewed |
+| Preprint only | Always flag provenance |
+
+## LaTeX Notation Quick-Ref
+
+| Item | Correct LaTeX | Wrong | Rendered |
+|------|--------------|-------|----------|
+| Chemical formulas | `\ce{H2O}` | `H2O`, `H$_2$O` | H₂O |
+| Superscript labels | `X$^2$Y` | `X2Y` | X²Y |
+| R² values | `R$^2$=0.99` | `R^2`, `R2` | R² |
+| Greek letters | `$\alpha$-phase` | `alpha-phase` | α-phase |
+| Approximately | `$\sim$64` | `~64` (LaTeX non-breaking space!) | ~64 |
+
+CRITICAL: ~ in LaTeX = non-breaking space. Use $\sim$ for "approximately."
+
+## KB Corrections
+
+See `CLAUDE.md` for your project-specific KB corrections log. Always check before generation to avoid re-introducing known errors.
+
+## Budget Reminder
+
+Resume: ~20 variable bullets (exact count depends on skills config + immigration line). CV: 19-21 bullets, 45 rendered lines.
+Resume bullets: ALL 2L. CV bullets: 2L/3L mix OK.
