Key Test Validations

🔗 Release Information

Release: v1.5.15

📝 Summary

This PR represents a significant step forward in rxiv-maker's robustness and maintainability:

  1. Fixes critical copy_figures bug that was preventing figure files from being copied
  2. Adds comprehensive E2E testing framework ensuring figure workflow reliability
  3. Validates Guillaume's fixes work correctly in real manuscript scenarios
  4. Documents remaining issues for future development
  5. Prevents future regressions through extensive test coverage

The E2E testing system serves as both a validation tool and a bug discovery mechanism, successfully identifying the copy_figures issue and confirming most of Guillaume's fixes work while documenting the remaining ready file path issue.

- Simpler, more reliable single-stage build approach
- All dependencies installed in correct order with proper linking
- Backup multi-stage version preserved as Dockerfile.multistage-backup

Resolves Docker build failure from workflow run 17006069375 where
LaTeX verification failed due to missing shared libraries in
multi-stage assembly.

The siunitx package verification test in Docker was causing build failures.
Since texlive-science includes siunitx, the package is available without
additional verification needed during Docker build.

This simplifies the Docker build process and resolves the timeout issues
that were blocking releases.
- Covers all tex_position options with detailed explanations
- Shows width control for single-column and two-column figures
- Demonstrates proper panel referencing (@fig:name A → Fig. 1A)
- Includes file organization best practices
- Provides troubleshooting guide for common positioning issues
- Complete working examples users can copy immediately

Addresses user confusion around figure placement and positioning
that was highlighted in Guillaume's feedback.

This release addresses three critical issues reported by Guillaume that were supposed to be fixed in v1.5.13 but were actually still broken:

## Issues Fixed:

### 1. Introduction Section Header Mapping
- **Problem**: `## Introduction` sections rendered as "Main" in PDF
- **Root Cause**: Template used hardcoded `\section*{Main}` header
- **Solution**: Dynamic section headers based on content type
- **Files**: `template_processor.py`, `template.tex`

### 2. Figure Ready File Duplication
- **Problem**: Required `Fig1.png` in both `Figures/` AND `Figures/Fig1/`
- **Root Cause**: Incomplete ready file detection logic
- **Solution**: Smart path resolution using ready files directly
- **Files**: `figure_processor.py`

### 3. Full-Page Figure Positioning
- **Problem**: `tex_position="p"` ignored for `width="\textwidth"` figures
- **Root Cause**: Auto-forced 2-column spanning overrode explicit positioning
- **Solution**: Respect user's explicit positioning intent
- **Files**: `figure_processor.py`

## Testing:
- Added comprehensive end-to-end tests that verify actual .tex generation
- All tests validate real document processing, not just internal logic
- Verified with EXAMPLE_MANUSCRIPT to ensure no regressions

## Version: 1.5.13 → 1.5.14
