Corrected citations (consistent across all docs):

- Liouville theorem: "Springborn 2019" -> Pinkall & Springborn,
Geom. Dedicata 214 (2021)

- Quasiconformal distortion: "Springborn, Veselov" -> Born, Buecking,
Springborn (arXiv:1505.01341)
- Period matrices: "Bobenko, Buecking 2009" (was Bobenko-Mercat-Schmies'
title) -> Bobenko-Mercat-Schmies 2011 + genuine Bobenko-Buecking 2021
- Fabricated entry: "Alexa 2020, DOI 10.1145/3414685.3417840" pointed to
an unrelated paper (Pixelor) -> Bunge, Herholz, Kazhdan, Botsch 2020
- Stripe Patterns: "Bonneel et al. 2015" -> Knoeppel, Crane, Pinkall,
Schroeder 2015
Equation-number corrections (verified against the PDFs):
- Glickenstein 2011 "eq. 4.6" -> "§5.2" (no such equation label exists)
- Springborn 2020 "eq. 4.6" -> "§4 variational gradient"
- inversive-distance attribution softened to classical inversive distance
Other:
- DBFEnergy bibliography (separate repo) and convergence half-sentence in
novelty-statement.md §3.3 (Bobenko-Buecking 2021)
- Status legend (implemented vs planned) at top of references.md
- New Phase 12 (decorated DCE & geometric transition, Chain A, near-term)
and Phase 13 (canonical tessellations & polyhedral realisation, Chain B
capstone) in phases.md + research-track.md; 10c scope-boundary note
clarifying infrastructure vs Lutz-specific algorithms

+ `hyper_ideal_functional.hpp` (Springborn 2020), `spherical_functional.hpp`
+ — the decoration is a re-parametrisation of these, not a new solver.
+* **Does NOT require:** 9c / 10a / 10b / holonomy-bug fix. This is the
+ **short path**: the earliest Lutz-adjacent result, independent of Chain B.
+* **Scope:** (1) Penner-coordinate decoration layer ↔ classical inversive
+ distance `ℓ²=r_i²+r_j²+2r_ir_jη`; (2) curvature-transition driver κ∈{+,0,−}
+ at fixed invariant; (3) validation harness + example gallery.
+* **Acceptance criteria:**
+ - Decoration round-trip `I_ij ↔ (r_i,r_j,ℓ)` at machine precision.
+ - At κ=0 bit-for-bit match with the existing Euclidean/inversive path.
+ - Gauss-Bonnet per geometry; invariant constant across the κ-transition
+ to tol (numerical witness of the Bobenko-Lutz master theorem).
+ - Cross-geometry agreement of the invariant on one test surface.

+ `detail::hyperbolic_holonomy` + `cpp_dec_float_50`; see Phase 9c block) ·
+ 🟡 Phase 12 (Penner-coordinate decoration layer — reused here; land first).
+* **Scope:** (1) Penner-coordinate canonical tessellation + dual on the

+ canonical decomposition; (3) polyhedral realisation of the uniformised
+ genus-g surface.

+ - Penner-coordinate consistency with the Phase 12 decoration layer.
+ - Gauss-Bonnet + holonomy closure `∏[a_i,b_i] = Id` (high precision).
+ - Rigidity witness: Newton finds the unique realisation on the
