+### In `import()`ed Files, Prefer the `_quarto.modules` Registry Over a Fresh `require()`
+
+Files loaded via `import()` are textually concatenated into one shared Lua chunk for
+the packaged distribution build, so every top-level `local` they declare — including
+`local x = require("modules/y")` — competes for Lua's hard 200-local-per-function
+limit across *all* inlined files combined. Most `modules/*` are already registered
+in `_quarto.modules` by `modules/import_all.lua` (a single global table assignment,
+so it costs zero additional locals). In an `import()`ed file, reference
+`_quarto.modules.<name>.<fn>(...)` directly instead of adding a new top-level
+`local <name> = require("modules/<name>")`. This doesn't apply inside files loaded
+via `require()` themselves — those get their own independent chunk and aren't
+affected. See [llm-docs/lua-filter-bundle-local-limit.md](../../../llm-docs/lua-filter-bundle-local-limit.md)
+for the full mechanism and why this keeps recurring.

+# Lua Filter Bundling and the 200-Local-Variable Limit
+
+## The mechanism
+
+`main.lua` (`src/resources/filters/main.lua`) loads almost every filter file via
+`import()`, a thin wrapper around `dofile()`:
+
+```lua
+function import(script)
+  local path = PANDOC_SCRIPT_FILE:match("(.*[/\\])")
+  dofile(path .. script)
+end
+```
+
+In **dev mode**, each `import()`ed file is its own `dofile()` call — its own
+independent Lua chunk, with its own local-variable scope. Nothing outside that
+file can see its top-level `local`s; cross-file communication only works
+through globals (`quarto`, `_quarto`) or `require()`'d modules.
+
+For **distribution**, `package/src/common/package-filters.ts`'s `buildFilter()`
+takes a different path: it parses the `-- [import] ... -- [/import]` block at
+the top of `main.lua`, and **textually concatenates** every listed file's
+source into one physical `main.lua`, verbatim, in order. This is a pure
+string-join — it does not wrap each file's content in any scope. As a result:
+
+- Every top-level `local` declared in **every** inlined file becomes part of
+  **one single Lua chunk** (the "main function").
+- Lua enforces a hard limit of 200 local variables per function
+  (`MAXVARS` in Lua's compiler). Once the sum of all top-level locals across
+  every inlined file exceeds 200, the packaged `main.lua` fails to even
+  *compile*: `too many local variables (limit is 200) in main function`.
+- Files loaded via `require()` (mostly things under `modules/`) are **not**
+  affected — `require()` resolves at runtime to its own independent chunk,
+  same in dev mode and in the packaged build.
+
+This failure only surfaces in the **"Bundle Test" / `test-bundle` CI job**,
+which builds and smoke-tests the packaged distribution. Every other CI job
+runs dev-mode `quarto` directly against the source tree, where each file is
+still its own `dofile()` chunk — so this class of bug is invisible until the
+packaged-bundle build runs.
+
+## Confirmed empirically (2026-07-16)
+
+Using a standalone reimplementation of `buildFilter()` plus pandoc itself as
+a compile oracle (`pandoc doc.md --lua-filter=inlined.lua`), we measured the
+actual margin on `chore/pandoc-3.10`:
+
+- At commit `e8921e613` (last known-good state): **199** top-level locals in
+  the inlined chunk — one spare slot.
+- Commit `08deb91d7` added four new call sites each declaring their own
+  `local path = require("modules/path")` in four different `import()`ed
+  files (`quarto-pre/book-links.lua`, `quarto-pre/project-paths.lua`,
+  `quarto-post/typst-brand-yaml.lua`, `quarto-post/typst.lua`) — pushing the
+  count to **203** and breaking the compile.
+
+The codebase was already sitting at the edge (199/200) before this PR. This
+is not a pandoc-3.10-specific problem — any future PR adding even one new
+top-level local to an inlined file can trip it again.
+
+### This has already recurred multiple times
+
+- `c4d2198ad` (2023, PR #5146) — fixed by deleting one unused top-level local
+  in `crossref/listings.lua`.
+- `ae392ad23` (2026-03, open PR #14170) — fixed by moving typst annotation
+  helpers out of an inlined file into a new `require()`-based
+  `modules/typst-code-annotations.lua`.
+- `514baffae` (2026-04, open PR #14312) — same pattern: moved
+  `common/theorems.lua` logic into `modules/theorems.lua` behind `require()`.
+
+Every prior fix has been an ad-hoc, per-offending-file stopgap. None
+addressed the inliner itself. The problem has recurred at least three times
+independently within a few weeks on unrelated branches — evidence the
+stopgap approach doesn't scale as filter code accumulates.
+
+## Fix patterns, in order of preference
+
+1. **Use the existing `_quarto.modules` registry instead of a fresh
+   `require()` alias.** `modules/import_all.lua` already centralizes most
+   `modules/*` requires into one table (`_quarto.modules.constants`,
+   `_quarto.modules.patterns`, `_quarto.modules.path`, etc.), assigned via a
+   single **global** table constructor — which costs **zero** additional
+   top-level locals no matter how many modules are registered in it. Any
+   `import()`ed file that needs a module already in that registry should
+   reference `_quarto.modules.<name>.<fn>(...)` directly instead of adding
+   its own `local x = require("modules/<name>")`. This is the cheapest fix
+   and requires no new file.
+
+   Caution: many pre-existing call sites (`constants` alone is re-required
+   as a fresh top-level local in ~10 different inlined files) do **not**
+   follow this convention yet, despite the module already being registered.
+   This is a large, low-risk cleanup opportunity — see "Known follow-up
+   work" below.
+
+2. **Move the logic into a `modules/*.lua` file loaded via `require()`.**
+   This is what `ae392ad23` and `514baffae` did. It fully escapes the shared
+   chunk (its own independent scope, same in dev and packaged builds) but
+   costs a new file and a new `import_all.lua` (or ad-hoc `require()`)
+   registration.
+
+3. **(Not yet implemented) Wrap each inlined file's body in `do ... end`
+   inside `buildFilter()`.** Verified empirically (2026-07-16, against Lua's
+   actual reference-implementation source in `lparser.c`) that this is
+   mechanically sound: Lua's compiler tracks *currently active* locals via
+   `reglevel`, not a cumulative count, and `do...end` blocks trigger
+   `leaveblock()` → `removevars()`, which rolls the active-local counter back
+   to what it was at block entry. So each file's top-level locals go out of
+   scope at that file's own `end`, freeing register slots for the next
+   file — the 200-slot budget only needs to cover the single most
+   local-heavy file, not the sum across all ~150 inlined files.
+
+   This is the pattern real Lua bundlers (`amalg.lua`, `luabundle`) use —
+   though they wrap in a full closure (`function() ... end`) rather than a
+   plain block, because they additionally need `require()`/lazy-load/
+   module-return semantics. Quarto's inliner doesn't need those semantics
+   (it's linear, order-preserving script concatenation, not a module
+   system), so a plain `do...end` wrapper is the minimal correct fix.
+
+   Verified safe by construction: since dev-mode `dofile()` already
+   isolates each file into its own chunk, no filter file can rely today on
+   reading a *preceding* file's top-level local (that pattern would already
+   be broken in dev mode). Wrapping each inlined segment in `do...end` for
+   the packaged build only makes its scoping match dev-mode's existing
+   isolation — it cannot introduce new incompatibilities, though it was
+   only validated by compiling the wrapped bundle, not by running a full
+   smoke suite against it.
+
+## Known follow-up work (tracked separately, not urgent)
+
+- Sweep the ~25+ pre-existing inlined call sites that redundantly
+  `require()` a module already available via `_quarto.modules` (`constants`
+  ×~10, `patterns` ×~6, `lightbox` ×2, others) to use the registry instead.
+  Reclaims significant headroom; low risk, mechanical.
+- Implement the `do...end` wrap in `buildFilter()` (fix pattern 3 above) as
+  a permanent structural fix, with a full smoke-all run against the
+  *packaged* bundle (not just a compile check) before merging.
+- Given how often this recurs, once the process is well understood a
+  dedicated skill or lint check (e.g. a CI step that runs the real
+  `buildFilter()` + a pandoc compile-only check on every PR, rather than
+  discovering the break only in the full packaged smoke-test job) would
+  catch this class of regression immediately instead of ~20+ minutes into a
+  CI run.

+Pandoc 3.10's Typst writer backslash-escapes any metadata string starting with a
+literal dot (jgm/pandoc#11511, jgm/pandoc#11761). Quarto's `biblio.typ` partial
+interpolates the raw `bibliography` metadata value into `#bibliography(...)`, so a
+relative path with a leading dot (`./refs.bib`) previously compiled to invalid Typst
+(`path must not contain a backslash`). This document exercises that path directly.
+
+See @Cronbach_1951 for a citation that must still resolve correctly.
