contents Although random matrix theory provides a fundamental framework for characterizing quantum chaos, encompassing both ergodic and localized phases, a comprehensive understanding of the universal features governing the critical transition remains elusive in many disordered and quasi-random systems. In this study, we explore the ergodic-to-many-body localization transition in the generalized Aubry-André model with interacting spinless fermions. Using the concept of Frobenius norm of an adiabatic gauge potential, we construct a phase diagram that captures the sensitivity of the eigenspectrum to infinitesimal adiabatic gauge deformations. To examine the stability of the critical disordered strength with respect to system size, we perform an unbiased finite-size scaling analysis via cost-function minimization techniques. Additionally, by analyzing the adjacent gap ratio and spectral form factor, we determine the scaling behavior of the Thouless time as a function of the disorder strength.
