+* thesis
+
+BGU MSc thesis on the ROLL method (Ranking via Optimized Label Learning). See [[id:d23011c5-d925-4f14-b05a-0a1f4bdbe860][impl]] for the implementation project this thesis documents.
+
+** Architecture
+
+- =main.tex= — root document; defines all title/author/supervisor commands, includes all chapters
+- =Main_pages/= — cover_page, title_page, abstract, acknowledgements, abstract_heb, cover_heb
+- =content/<chapter>/= — one folder per chapter with its own .tex file
+- =content/images/= — shared image path (set via =\graphicspath=)
+- =bibliography/thesis.bib= — references
+- =bibliography/unsrtnat_adjusted_for_bgu_thesis.bst= — custom BGU bibliography style (do not edit)
+
+** Conventions
+
+- Thesis metadata (title, author, supervisor, month, year) defined as commands at top of =main.tex=
+- Hebrew title/author/supervisor have =he= suffix commands (=\thesistitlehe=, etc.)
+- Both English and Hebrew ToC, abstract, and cover pages are required by BGU
+- Chapters added via =\input{content/<chapter>/<chapter>}= with a matching =\addtocontents{tocheb}= line for the Hebrew ToC
+- Build engine: pdflatex (uses =\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}=, not xelatex)
+
+** Gotchas
+
+- Template uses =utf8x= inputenc, which requires the =ucs= nix/texlive package
+- Hebrew rendering via =babel-hebrew= (pdflatex approach, not fontspec/xelatex)
+- Example images in =content/related_work/images/= are from the template — safe to delete
+- =flake.nix= uses =rec= on the derivation so =buildInputs= is in scope for PATH export
+
+** Key Files
+
+- =flake.nix= — Nix build; =nix build= produces =result/main.pdf=; =nix develop= for dev shell
+- =flake.lock= — pinned to nixpkgs-unstable as of 2026-06-16
+- =main.tex= — fill in =\thesistitle=, =\thesisauthorname=, =\thesissupervisername=, =\thesismonth=, =\thesisyear=
