fontspec does not enable the classic TeX input ligatures by default,
so under lualatex our existing -- / --- / `` / '' input was being
typeset as literal hyphens and straight quotes rather than en-dashes,
em-dashes, and curly quotes.
Add \defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX} right after \usepackage{fontspec}
in each template that loads fontspec (paper, memo, and letter). The
poster template uses beamer's default fonts (Latin Modern under
lualatex), where TeX ligatures already work via the font tables, so
no change there.

Enables \DocumentMetadata (pdfversion=2.0, pdfstandard=ua-2) and loads
tagpdf with activate-all, plus hyperref metadata (pdftitle, pdfauthor,
pdflang, pdfdisplaydoctitle) since the letter class does not expose
\title/\author for the PDF management layer to pick up. Verified
compliant with verapdf's PDF/UA-2 profile.

Moves paper, assignment, and letter templates from pdflatex to
lualatex, and replaces the Type-1 font setup (mathdesign/garamond,
ucs/utf8x, T1 fontenc) with fontspec using EB Garamond for the main
font and TeX Gyre Heros for sans. This produces PDFs whose text
extracts cleanly and is a prerequisite for tagged/accessible PDF
output.
