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, auniverses/folder, and materialisedresults/.
