Is there not even some event in Lua that could be used to handle this case?
I think MkIV compatibility is all I need.
In case this is also not possible: can you give me a hint where to learn
more about twopass processing? Is there in MkIV still something that
requires two (or more) passes that I could take a look at to learn how to do
it? (I guess I can understand Lua easier than plain TeX, so I guess MkII is
out of the picture.)
It depends on your document. We have workflows where we can do with one
pass in which case we run with --once (--runs=2 or so)
Future versions of context mkiv might need one run less (in some cases)
or one perceived run (which saves startup cycles) but as Wolgangs
explained already, in more complex cases we cannot do with less runs as
any change haping now can influence something a few pages back which in
turn might influence what follows.
Normally, when you correct only typos there will be no multiple runs.
MkIV already is more efficient as we now always assume an advanced pdf
backend so that we don't need to use the MkII the object reference
mechanism.
