arXiv submission

The latex/ directory is the submission package. Upload all files except build/, Makefile, latexmkrc, and files in .gitignore. arXiv will run xelatex main.tex + biber automatically via 00README.XXX.

Test plan

  • make in latex/ produces PDF with zero errors
  • Verify all 374 bibliography entries appear in printed bibliography
  • Verify all cross-references resolve (chapters, appendices, figures, tables)
  • Verify TikZ diagrams and charts render correctly
  • Upload to arXiv and confirm successful compilation
