 When `paper_idea_agent` decides an insight is worth a paper, the manuscript pipeline routes it through a per-venue adapter chain rather than a single hard-coded ICLR template. The routing stack:
 
-1. `agents/venue_router.py` reads `agents/venues.yaml` (6 venues: `iclr2026`, `neurips2025`, `acl_arr`, `emnlp2025`, `cvpr2024`, `iccv2025`) and picks a primary + secondary based on subject area, deadline window, and submission_mode.
+1. `agents/venue_router.py` reads `manuscript_venues/venues_v1.yaml` (6 venues: `iclr2026`, `neurips2024`, `icml2024`, `acl_arr`, `cvpr2024`, `arxiv_plain`) and picks a primary + secondary based on subject area, deadline window, and submission_mode.
 2. `agents/manuscript_templates/` resolves the choice into a `TemplateAdapter` (column layout, bibstyle, page budget, required packages) via `get_adapter(template_id)`.
 3. `agents/format_linter.py` runs 12 checks against the rendered LaTeX — 7 structural plus the 5 mandated by issue #14 (`font_size_consistency`, `section_spacing`, `float_density`, `citation_density`, `bib_style_match`); a failure blocks the submission gate.
 4. `agents/paper_orchestra_pipeline.py` calls `require_submission_ready()` so synthetic data never reaches a manuscript bundle.

+"""Regenerate ``artifacts/manuscript_venue_routing_acceptance.json``.
+
+The umbrella bundle for issue #11 was previously hand-written, which is
+why its ``commit`` field went stale on PR #10 (review item #2). This
+script regenerates it deterministically from the four sub-bundles
+written by ``scripts/build_d{1,2,3,4}_acceptance.py``, plus the current
+``git rev-parse HEAD``.
+
+The PDF / page-count data under ``generated_bundles`` is sourced from

+(``/tmp/full_paper_demo/<venue>/paper.pdf``) when present; the umbrella
+falls back to a ``"deferred"`` marker so the file is always producible
+even on machines without tectonic installed (CI / reviewer laptop).
+
+Usage:
+
+    python -m scripts.build_manuscript_venue_routing_umbrella

+"""Demo runner for the agenda-driven autonomous research loop (issue #9).

+benchmark → evidence gate → manuscript → reviewer → revision-plan chain.
+
+That filename did not exist on disk — the actual logic lives in

+``artifacts/agenda_loop_acceptance.json`` as a side effect. To keep the
+documented command working without forcing every reader to know the
+internal builder name, this module is a thin alias that delegates to the
+builder's ``main()`` and forwards its exit code.
+
+Both invocations are now valid:
+
+    python scripts/demo_agenda_loop.py
+    python -m scripts.build_agenda_loop_acceptance
+
+The wrapper inherits the builder's environment contract — set

+does not stomp on a developer's working database. See the builder's
