(re)build epdfinfo progam fails because poppler-private headers not found
Also https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/706
I had a similar problem a month or so ago but I think it was fixed in pdf-tools. Perhaps the comments under this issue will help: https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/708

Write research paper notes/summaries in emacs
First things first, install pdf-tools, a great Emacs package for viewing pdfs. The default pdf viewer Docview is very limited so you should definitely get this package.

pdf-tools got a new maintainer!
It looks enjoy pdf-tools got a new maintainer and he already changed the the melpa ⠀recipe, so you can get it via the package manager. I think this is a good development. My impression is, that he is new as an Emacs package maintainer, so please be kind and supportive, so he will stay on it for a while. :)

Configure pdf-tools in Emacs running on MacOS
To the best of my understanding, I have followed the installation instructions as outline on https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools:

Choosing a powerful Linux distribution for the blind
I think it would also be useful to mention Emacs' speechd-el (and EmacsSpeak) since you can do pretty much everything from Emacs. pdf-view-mode is compatible with OCR'd PDFs and would probably easily be put to the purpose of joining that with readers (it's also packaged as elpa-pdf-tools in Debian).

Rnote – An open-source vector-based drawing app
I highly recommend Rnote to anyone on Linux that misses the "hodgepodge" notetaking of apps like OneNote. It works like a dream on touchscreens and drawing tablets, with a surprising amount of configuration under the hood.
Also worth noting is Xournal, an older but similar project: https://xournalpp.github.io/

Book list for streetfighting computer scientists
I've been using Xournalpp[1] for many years, highlighting books as I read them, adding in text/hand drawn annotations in whitespaces if necessary. Unlike other PDF readers/annotators, it saves a separate file, so the original PDF is untouched. It can also export the annotated PDF as a new PDF with highlights and annotations.
Obsidian[2] also has PDF support, where you can open a markdown document side by side with the PDF to take notes as you read. I think it also lets you highlight the PDF itself.
Emacs I think has a similar feature, via plugins/org-mode(?) to the Obsidian setup.
And of course your typical PDF reader probably has support for highlighting PDFs too, but I find them clunky and they save by exporting a PDF, which can be a bit heavy-handed IMO compared to just saving the annotations/highlights as a separate file as Xournalpp does.

Combined metric for finding and decoding (digitally) handwritten text on a page?
Currently, I am trying to build a small open source NLP project for which I first find text on a page and then translate it; see the current project state here: https://github.com/PellelNitram/xournalpp_htr. The purpose of this project is to make handwritten text in Xournal++ searchable for all users.

Alternative to MS OneNote that’s truly as good? Flair is limited but more precisely is I’d like cross-platform.

Project management tools
Personally, I've used xournal++ for a few semesters, but I would be lying if I've said that it's anywhere near feature parity with OneNote. There's also Styluslabs Write, but it generated files that are a little difficult to manage. Obsidian is also a great choice, but it's markdown only, if you're expecting pen support
