Summary

This PR adds first-class support for LaTeX (.tex) documents in the document library and editor:

  • Maps .tex to latex for file library imports and direct device imports.
  • Maps latex back to .tex in frontend and backend zip-export/download options.
  • Adds a latex option to the document editor language selector.
  • Implements a content-sniffing regex heuristic (\documentclass, \begin{document}, etc.) to auto-detect LaTeX format.

Target branch

  • This PR targets dev, not main. All PRs land in dev; main is curated by the maintainer at each release. If your PR is on main by accident, click "Edit" on this PR and change the base.

Fixes #5543

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking — fixes a confirmed issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking — adds new behaviour)
  • Breaking change (changes or removes existing behaviour)
  • Refactor / cleanup (behaviour unchanged)
  • Documentation only
  • CI / tooling / configuration

Checklist

  • I searched open issues and open PRs — this is not a duplicate.
  • This PR targets dev
  • My changes are limited to the scope described above — no unrelated refactors or whitespace changes mixed in.
  • I actually ran the app (docker compose up or uvicorn app:app) and verified the change works end-to-end. Type-checks and unit tests are not enough.

How to Test

  1. Import a .tex file into the Document Library, or click "Create" to start a blank document and select latex in the dropdown list.
  2. Verify that syntax highlighting matches LaTeX formatting.
  3. Export the document (or download as zip) and verify it gets downloaded with the .tex extension.
  4. Paste LaTeX content (e.g. starting with \documentclass{article}) into a blank document with no language set, and verify it auto-sniffs and displays latex language chip.

Visual / UI changes — REQUIRED if you touched anything that renders

Anything that changes what the UI looks like — buttons, icons, padding, colors, fonts, spacing, layout, CSS, HTML, SVG, or any static/js/ module that draws to the DOM — needs all of the following. PRs that change rendering without these WILL be closed.

  • Screenshot or short clip of the change in the running app, attached below. Mobile screenshot too if the change affects mobile.
  • Style match: the change uses Odysseus's existing visual language. Specifically:
    • Reuse existing CSS variables (--red, --fg, --bg, --card, --border, etc.) — do not introduce new color values, font sizes, or spacing units.
    • Reuse existing button/input/card/border classes. Don't invent parallel styling.
    • No Unicode emoji in UI or code. Use inline SVG (matching the monochrome icon style already in static/index.html) or plain text.
    • Monospaced font (Fira Code) for primary UI text. Don't override.
    • Dark theme is the default; any light-mode work must be wired through the existing theme system, not hard-coded.
  • No new component patterns. If a similar widget already exists in the app, extend it instead of writing a parallel one.
  • I am not an LLM agent submitting a bulk PR. If you are, please open an issue describing the problem first — bulk auto-generated PRs that don't match the project's visual style are closed on sight, even when the underlying fix is correct.

Screenshots / clips

None (pure stacking-context layer and file format routing support).
