Thesis Frontmatter Sync

Triggers & routing

• Trigger: abstract sync, frontmatter sync, appendix sync, cover page check, non-main-body maintenance, thesis abstract.
• Use when: The main body structure is already relatively stable, and the non-main-body parts need to be maintained in parallel to avoid the Chinese and English abstracts, cover page fields, appendix, and achievements list becoming disconnected from the main body.
• Skip if: The main line of the main body is not yet stable, or there is not yet any deliverable version.
• Network: none.
• Guardrail: Do not put off the non-main-body parts until the last moment; do not let the abstract and appendix become disconnected from the main body.
