Cuts the multi-line rationale blocks down to what a reader of the file
needs. The reasoning behind the tagging setup belongs in the commit
messages that introduced it, not repeated above every \DocumentMetadata
block.
Also trims the README: drops the consequence clause explaining what
happens when the standard is declared without the tagging, drops the
quoted TeX Live 2024 error message, and notes that sid has a new enough
TeX Live for anyone not on Overleaf. Adds the caveat that a veraPDF
PASS is necessary but not sufficient, since a document whose body text
is all artifact passes too.

These templates declared pdfstandard=ua-2 and loaded tagpdf with
\tagpdfsetup{activate-all}. That combination sets /Marked true and
writes the PDF/UA-2 claim into the metadata, but activate-all is
tagpdf's low-level switch and does not turn on the kernel code that
tags document structure. The result was a file announcing itself as
accessible while carrying nothing for assistive software to read: the
memo's structure tree held one /Document and two /Link nodes, and the
letter's held /Document alone.
tagging=on loads that kernel code. The memo now tags three headings, a
subsection, its paragraphs and its bibliography list; the letter tags
all ten body paragraphs. The manual tagpdf lines are no longer needed
since the kernel loads it.
This requires TeX Live 2025 or later; on TeX Live 2024 the key is
unknown and the build stops.

EB Garamond's bold weight ships with only 127 cmapped glyphs --- no
Latin Extended-A, no Vietnamese, no Greek, no Cyrillic, no fi/fl
ligatures --- so any bold text containing accented characters
(Polish, Czech, Vietnamese, etc., as well as bold author names in
citations) renders as tofu boxes or font-fallback substitutions.
Switch the default body font in paper_template, memo_template, and
letter_template to Libertinus Serif. It ships in texlive-fonts-extra,
has comprehensive Latin / Vietnamese / Greek / Cyrillic coverage in
every weight, and includes all the standard f-ligatures explicitly.
Each template also picks up a commented-out
\\setmainfont{Garamond Premier Pro} block plus a short note: Adobe
Garamond Premier Pro is Mako's preferred body font but is commercial
and not redistributable, so the public templates default to
Libertinus and CDSC members can swap in once they have the font
installed (e.g., in ~/.fonts/).
README updated to match.

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.
