Optional LLM Integration for Advanced Writing Feedback #207

Description

@physicslog

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
LTeX‑plus provides strong rule‑based grammar checking, but it cannot address deeper, context‑dependent issues such as tone, clarity, coherence, or long‑range writing consistency. Many users now rely on LLMs for these higher‑level suggestions, but LTeX‑plus has no built‑in way to use them.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add optional support for an LLM backend (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, MacOS foundational model, local LLMs, etc.) that can provide additional grammar, style, and clarity suggestions. Ideally, users could enable:

  • LanguageTool only
  • LLM only
  • Hybrid mode (LLM suggestions supplement LanguageTool)

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Custom external checkers via Github Co-Pilot in the vscode: possible but too sloppy by considered as a coding project instead of LaTeX project.
  • Separate AI writing extensions: they don’t integrate with LTeX‑plus diagnostics or LaTeX/Markdown structure.

Additional context
LLM integration would be optional and disabled by default. Supporting local models (e.g., via Ollama or LM Studio) would address privacy concerns and broaden adoption.
