Paper-first reader view for Lightcone / ASTRA analyses. Renders an astra.yaml spec plus its materialised results as a scientific paper-style HTML page, inside a VSCode editor tab.

Usage

Right-click any astra.yaml in VSCode's Explorer view and choose Open Paper View. The paper opens in a new editor tab — figures, tables, and finding cards are rendered inline; PDF figures are loaded directly via pdfjs-dist so referenced page regions are visible without leaving the editor.

The command is also available from the command palette as Lightcone: Open Paper View.

Requirements

  • VSCode 1.85 or later.
  • An ASTRA project directory containing an astra.yaml, a universes/ folder, and materialised results/.
