% =========================================================================
% GLOBAL PARAGRAPH AND PROSE RULES
% =========================================================================
% 1. Target Length: Aim for 3–7 sentences per paragraph. Avoid single-sentence 
%    paragraphs and dense walls of text.
% 2. Functional Focus: Each paragraph must serve a singular rhetorical function 
%    (e.g., context, problem, method, finding, interpretation, implication, 
%    limitation, or future work).
% 3. Explicit Signposting: Maintain visible logical flow across paragraph 
%    boundaries using structural transitions (e.g., "However", "As a result", 
%    "Consequently", "In contrast").
% 4. Micro-Sections: Use \myparagraph{...} blocks to signify named mini-paragraphs 
%    with specialized micro-rhetorical goals (e.g., "Contributions", "Significance").

% =========================================================================
% CONDITIONAL DEBUGGING FLAGS
% =========================================================================

\newif\ifDEBUG  % Declares a boolean switch called "DEBUG" for conditional compilation
\DEBUGtrue      % Set DEBUG to true (activates draft/todo notes)
\DEBUGfalse     % Set DEBUG to false (silences draft notes for clean compilation)
% NET EFFECT: \DEBUGfalse runs last, so debug is OFF by default. While OFF,
% \TODO{}, \CITE{}, and \NMS{} (co-author notes) render as nothing.
% To see draft markers, comment out the \DEBUGfalse line above.

% =========================================================================
% MODULAR PREAMBLE IMPORTS
% =========================================================================

\input{misc/data}        % Imports global stats, variables, and data macros
\input{misc/typesetting} % Imports formatting overrides, extra packages, and layout tweaks

% =========================================================================
% CUSTOM LOGO MACROS
% =========================================================================

% Delays definition until document start to prevent package conflicts
\AtBeginDocument{%
    % Safely defines \BibTeX logo if not already defined by a loaded package

\label{sec:introduction}

% --- PARAGRAPH 1: CONTEXT AND HOOK ---
% Function: Intro paragraph 1.
% Target: 3–6 sentences.
% Content: Establish the broad software engineering domain, why it matters (reliability, cost, UX, scientific impact), and a hook that shows the domain is non‑trivial. No detailed technicalities here.

% --- PARAGRAPH 2: NARROWED PROBLEM AND GAP ---
% Function: Intro paragraph 2.
% Target: 4–7 sentences.
% Content: Summarize current practice/prior work, then pivot with a clear ‘However/Yet/Despite this’ sentence that states the precise gap or friction point. End by emphasizing why this gap is consequential.

% --- PARAGRAPH 4: CONTRIBUTIONS ---
% Structure: Use 3–4 bullets, each describing one type of contribution (artifact, empirical study, insight, open science). 
% Formatting Rule: Keep each item one sentence plus a short clarifying clause, avoiding vague phrases (‘novel’, ‘significant’) without specifics.
\myparagraph{Contributions}
This paper makes the following core contributions:
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=16pt, rightmargin=5pt, topsep=0pt]
    % Contribution 1: The Artifact (Tool / Framework / Dataset)
    \item Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit.
    % Contribution 2: The Empirical Scale & Matrix Analysis
    \item Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit.
    % Contribution 3: The Findings, Open Science & Replication Package
    \item Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit.
\end{itemize}

% --- PARAGRAPH 5: SIGNIFICANCE & SCOPE ---
% Function: Intro paragraph 5 — "headline results + scope" preview (required).
% Target: 3–5 sentences.
% Content: Provide 1–2 headline quantitative or qualitative outcomes, plus a brief statement of scope/assumptions (where it works, where it might not). Do not repeat details from the Results; this is a teaser, not the findings.
\myparagraph{Significance}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit. 
Quisque faucibus ex sapien vitae pellentesque sem placerat.

% --- PARAGRAPH 6: PAPER ROADMAP ---
% Function: Manuscript outline (Intro paragraph 6).
% Target: 2–4 sentences.
% Content: Walk the reader through the paper in document order so the roadmap
%   doubles as a structural map. The actual order is:
%   Background (sec:background) → Research Questions (sec:research_questions)
%   → RQ1 (sec:rq1_evaluation) → RQ2 (sec:rq2_evaluation)
%   → RQ3 (sec:rq3_evaluation) → Discussion (sec:discussion)
%   → Threats (sec:threats) → Conclusion (sec:conclusion).
%   NOTE: there is no standalone "Methodology" section — methodology is embedded
%   inside each RQ section. Use lowercase section names + \Cref macros; never
%   hardcode numbers.
\myparagraph{Paper Outline}
This paper is organized as follows: 
\Cref{sec:background} provides essential background and reviews related work, and 
\Cref{sec:research_questions} formalizes the research questions.
\Cref{sec:rq1_evaluation}, \Cref{sec:rq2_evaluation}, and \Cref{sec:rq3_evaluation} each present the methodology and empirical findings for one research question.
The paper concludes in \Cref{sec:discussion} with a discussion of implications for the software engineering community and future work, followed by an examination of potential threats to validity in \Cref{sec:threats} and closing remarks in \Cref{sec:conclusion}.
