Description

Issue Description

I was able to generate a PDF file via

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
sphinx-build -M latexpdf source build

, but unfortunately the contents isn't included (the page under Contents heading is just blank). Could someone help fix this?

Research direction

Reproduce the documentation build with uv venv, source .venv/bin/activate, and sphinx-build -M latexpdf source build. Inspect the generated PDF and the Sphinx/LaTeX documentation configuration to determine why the Contents page is blank; done means the generated PDF includes its contents.
