%%% =====================================================================
%%% UF Dissertation — Demo / Known-Good Reference Project
%%% =====================================================================
%%%
%%% This is the master .tex file for the latex2ufdissertation demo
%%% dissertation. It is a hand-crafted fixture that satisfies every
%%% must-fix rule in docs/uf-rules.md. Running:
%%%
%%%     latex2ufdissertation examples/demo_dissertation/
%%%
%%% should produce a clean report (zero must-fix, zero review).
%%%
%%% Read top-to-bottom. Every block is annotated with the UF rule it
%%% satisfies, so this file doubles as a teaching aid for students.

%%% --- Document class ---------------------------------------------------
%%% UF-F13: documentclass MUST be ufdissertation (Fall 2025+ template).
%%% UF-D1:  editMode is NOT present here — must be removed before
%%%         submission. The example template ships with editMode ON;
%%%         the demo intentionally turns it OFF.
%%% UF-D3:  overrideTitles / overrideChapters NOT used (defaults are
%%%         correct).
\documentclass{ufdissertation}

%%% \sloppy loosens LaTeX's line-breaking criteria to reduce overfull
%%% hbox warnings; it does not affect text alignment (UF-F5 ragged-right
%%% is enforced separately by the class).
\sloppy

%%% --- LuaLaTeX directive -----------------------------------------------
%%% UF-D2: UF requires LuaLaTeX + TeX Live 2025 (S4 — accessibility).
%%% This magic comment tells editors and the validator the compiler.
% !TEX program = lualatex

%%% --- User packages ----------------------------------------------------
%%% Minimal set; the class file already loads hyperref, geometry, fonts,
%%% titlesec, titletoc, longtable, natbib, threeparttable, etc.
\usepackage{graphicx}      % for \includegraphics
\usepackage[all]{nowidow}  % per UF template convention (orphan/widow)
\usepackage{tikz}          % for vector diagrams in chapter 2
\usepackage{pgfplots}      % for plots in chapter 2
    \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,positioning,shapes.geometric,fit,backgrounds,calc}
\usepackage{algpseudocode}  % for algorithm pseudocode in chapter 2

%%% --- Metadata macros --------------------------------------------------
%%% UF-F14: every required metadata macro is set with a non-empty value.
