Compile a LaTeX document using latexmk. Accepts raw LaTeX source or a path to an existing .tex file. Returns structured errors, warnings, missing package hints, page count, and the output file path.

Run a fast single-pass draft compile to quickly surface errors without running multiple passes or bibliography. Good for syntax/error checking during editing.

Clean LaTeX build artifacts in a directory using latexmk -c (auxiliary files only) or latexmk -C (auxiliary + output files).

Check whether latexmk is installed and which TeX engines are available on this system.

List all file dependencies of a LaTeX document (included .tex files, .bib files, packages, images, etc.) using latexmk -deps.

Start a background latexmk watch process (-pvc) that recompiles automatically on file changes. Returns a session_id.

Stop a running latexmk watch session by session_id.

List all currently active latexmk watch sessions.

Write a .latexmkrc config file to a project directory or globally to ~/.latexmkrc.

Read the active .latexmkrc config files from the project and home directory.

Extract all citation keys from a LaTeX document and optionally cross-reference them against a .bib file.
