TikZ externalization vs. inline rendering for figure-heavy documents without shell escape

When maintaining a figure-heavy LaTeX document in a build environment where -shell-escape is disabled, the choice between TikZ's external library and inline rendering becomes a trade-off between compilation speed and build simplicity. The external library can pre-compile each picture to a separate PDF, but without shell escape it relies on the mode=list and

Pug cache continues to serve stale templates after file edits

Pug template caching and stale output When cache: true is enabled, Pug stores compiled templates in memory. If a template file is edited after caching, subsequent renders still use the old compiled function, producing stale content. The documentation recommends clearing pug.cache or restarting the process, but it does not describe automated invalidation. In
