I am trying to understand some open steps in the following article The Sign of Fourier coefficients of Half-integral Weight Cusp Form by Hulse, Kiral, Kuan, and Lim, I find the following :

Let $f\in S_{\frac{k}{2}}(\Gamma_0(4))$ be an eigenform of all Hecke operators $T_{\frac{k}{2}}(p^2)$ for $p$ prime, where $k$ is an odd integer. Take the Dirichlet series : $$M(s)=\sum_{t\geq 1, \; t\;\text{square-free}}\frac{a(t)}{t}$$ With the inverse Mellin transform, we get : $$\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{2-i\infty}^{2+i\infty}M(s)\Gamma(s)x^sds=\sum_ta(t)e^{-t/x}$$ They assert that the integral on the left-hand side above is $O(x^{3/4+\varepsilon})$ for any $\varepsilon>0.$ I don't understand why ?

I have another questions :

Considering the inverse Mellin transform $$I=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{2-i\infty}^{2+i\infty}L^{(2)}(s)\Gamma(s)x^sds=\sum_na(n)^2e^{-n/x}$$ and shifting the line of integration to $\Re(s)=\frac{1}{2}$ past the pole at $s=1,$ we get $$I=(\mathrm{Res}_{s=1}L^{(2)}(f,s))x+\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\frac{1}{2}-i\infty}^{\frac{1}{2}+i\infty}L^{(2)}(s)\Gamma(s)x^sds\;\;\;(*)$$ They assert that :
$$\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\frac{1}{2}-i\infty}^{\frac{1}{2}+i\infty}L^{(2)} (s)\Gamma(s)x^sds=O(x^{\frac{1}{2}})\;\;\;\;(1)$$ and $(1)$ combined with $(*)$ implies, that $$x\ll\sum_na(n)^2e^{-n/x}.\;\;\;\;\;\;(2)$$ I don't see why $(1)$ is true ? and why $(1)\Rightarrow (2).$

Can someone clarify to me it ? Thanks in advance.

The first two questions follow directly from applying the residue theorem to the Mellin transforms.

In the third one you just have to consider the contribution from the residue at $s=1$.

The paper is research-level, but these kind of questions fit better at math.stackexchange.
