Issues#

Critical#

None found.

High severity#

  • [qe-math-003] — All matrices use \left[ \begin{array}{...} ... \end{array} \right] rather than \begin{bmatrix}. Example: lectures/cattle_cycles.md:126-136, :143-163, :169-190. Count: ~12 occurrences.

Medium severity#

  • [qe-fig-003] — ax.set_title used in 1 cell.

Low severity#

  • [qe-writing-005] — **Remark** (L100) used as a label rather than definition; **Preferences**/**Technology**/**Information** (L112, L121, L165) are labels.

  • [qe-fig-005] — Figures lack :name: fig-... fields.

  • [qe-code-002] — Spelled-out Greek (alpha, beta, etc.) in code parameters (8 occurrences).

Strengths#

  • \mathbb{E}_0 used correctly for expectation (qe-math-010, proposed) at L93.

  • Sequences in curly brackets \{c_t, x_t\}, \{h_t, m_t\} (qe-math-005) at L64-65, L90.

  • Title in Title Case (qe-writing-006); subheadings sentence case (qe-writing-006).

  • Install cell at top with hide-output (qe-code-003).
