When working with PDF builds, one of the big issues has been that I get into Unicode error issues, and so the scripts in this particular push help find all the non-ASCII Unicodes so that I can fix them manually. Also, another issue that shows up is with figure reference labels, which can be broken. And so, the fig_references script detects those and raises errors.
