From the author

Step-by-step camera-ready prep for accepted papers — the error-prone final stage before publication. Use when a researcher says "camera-ready", "final version", or "my paper got accepted, now what", or mentions ACM eRights / rights form / TAPS / ORCID / DOI block, IEEE PDF eXpress / conference ID / eCF copyright form / Xplore, OpenReview final upload, de-anonymization, or extra camera-ready pages. Resolves the venue's rail from a machine-readable profile and walks it end to end across ACM eRights, ORCID, rights/DOI block, TAPS source upload, IEEE PDF eXpress, conference IDs, file naming, eCF exact-title match, registration/no-show, NeurIPS-style [final] recompile, and OpenReview upload. Generates an ordered checklist with deadlines and +page rules, and lints the final .tex for leftover anonymization and missing rights blocks via bundled stdlib-only scripts. Advisory — it prepares, explains, and lints, but never completes a form or submits anything.
