Risks
- Publication metadata must match the attached July 16, 2026 draft, particularly the title and five-author ordering.
- The PDF filename contains spaces, so the publication entry uses a URL-encoded asset path.
Task Steps
- Inspect the existing publication-card structure and working-paper status grouping.
- Extract and visually confirm the title, authors, date, and abstract from the supplied PDF.
- Add the publication entry and local PDF asset.
- Add the supplied public code-repository link.
- Update the required website change records.
- Validate the metadata, links, asset, generated output, and Git state without committing.
Implementation Plan
- Reuse the existing publication collection and card fields so the paper appears automatically on the homepage, publication archive, and CV working-paper list.
- Keep the supplied one-sentence description as the visible card summary.
- Include the draft’s abstract behind the existing Abstract action.
- Store the PDF in the existing
files/directory and link the code externally.
Progress Updates
- Confirmed that publication cards already support working-paper grouping, local PDFs, abstracts, citations, and code links.
- Confirmed the paper’s title page lists Christian Bayer, Luigi-Maria Briglia, Ralph Luetticke, Maximilian Weiss, and Yannik Winkelmann, dated July 16, 2026.
Final Implementation Results
- Added “Local Methods for Large Transfers” as a working paper with the supplied summary.
- Added the complete five-author list, paper date, abstract, formatted citation, local PDF action, and GitHub code action.
- Added the supplied PDF as a static website asset.
- No Git commit was created.
Verification Notes
- Verified the source PDF has 22 pages and visually inspected its title page.
- Confirmed the local PDF asset matches the supplied file.
- Confirmed at source level that the shared publication card will render the working-paper label, authors, summary, citation, abstract, PDF link, and code link.
- Confirmed the homepage, publication archive, and CV templates all include entries with
status: working. - A full local Jekyll build was unavailable because the checkout lacks the Jekyll executable and Docker Desktop was not running.
- Confirmed the repository changes remain uncommitted.
Closure
- The new paper and its assets are present in the site source and ready for review.
