Build Methods

The build script tries these methods in order:

1. Tectonic (recommended) - Fast, self-contained
2. XeLaTeX (local) - Full TeX distribution
3. Docker - Containerized build

Installation Options

If no compiler is found:

# Option 1: Tectonic (recommended)
brew install tectonic

# Option 2: Full MacTeX
brew install --cask mactex-no-gui

# Option 3: Use Docker
# Just start Docker Desktop
