From 0f78d181e11796c4030d0f9d3491c52d34f2be26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tarik Moussa Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 07:59:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] docs: centralise test counts + add release-policy + remove stale stub references MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Two complementary improvements aimed at reducing recurring maintenance overhead: 1. **Test-count centralisation** — `doc/api/tests.md` is now the single source of truth for the test counts. All other docs (README, CLAUDE.md, doc/contributing.md, doc/getting-started.md, doc/math/validation.md, doc/math/validation-protocol.md, scripts/try_it.sh) use qualitative phrasing + a link instead of hardcoded numbers. The previous regime had eight places with "227 CGAL tests, 23 non-CGAL tests" that drifted apart across releases (the v0.9.0 release-prep needed to touch nine files). 2. **Versioning policy** — `doc/release-policy.md` (new, ~250 lines) formalises: * SemVer rules for the pre-1.0 and post-1.0 phases. * Phase-milestone → MINOR-bump mapping (v0.10.0 → Phase 9c, …). * Single-source-of-truth table for moving numbers (test counts, version, date). * Step-by-step release process (the recipe that worked for v0.9.0 after the false-start with PR #11/#12). * Hotfix policy + post-1.0 deprecation policy. * Known failure modes and how to recover from them. Plus a small CI gate: 3. **scripts/check-test-counts.sh** — verifies the totals in doc/api/tests.md match `ctest` output. Re-uses existing build-cgal/ if present. Exit 0 on match, 1 on divergence with recovery hints. Cheap enough (~30 s) to run on every PR. Other cleanups ────────────── * code/tests/cgal/CMakeLists.txt — stale "Test 7 (genus-2 homology) as GTEST_SKIP stub until Phase 8" comment removed; that test landed as HomologyGenerators.Genus2_FourCutEdges in Phase 7. * CLAUDE.md — "test-fast also runs stubs" Known Quirks entry updated to reflect the v0.9.0 stub cleanup (no GTEST_SKIPs remain). * CLAUDE.md doc map — new entry for doc/release-policy.md. Stubs audit ─────────── Zero GTEST_SKIP() calls remain in the codebase as of this commit. The only references to stubs are in historical documentation (CHANGELOG.md v0.7.0 entry, doc/roadmap/* "deferred to research-track" notes) — those are intended.

Before this PR, the workflow was: auto res = CGAL::discrete_conformal_map_euclidean(mesh); // ... user has to re-set up maps, re-pin vertex, then ... auto layout = euclidean_layout(mesh, res.x, maps); // ... and copy coordinates into a property map manually.

CP-Euclidean and Inversive-Distance entries do not yet support `output_uv_map` — face-based packing has no per-vertex UV concept, and inversive-distance needs a dedicated layout routine that uses Luo's edge-length formula (planned follow-up). New named parameters (`code/include/CGAL/Conformal_map/internal/parameters.h`) ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── * `output_uv_map(pmap)` — write coordinates into pmap after layout. * `normalise_layout(bool)` — apply post-layout canonical normalisation (PCA centroid for Euclidean, north-pole alignment for Spherical, Möbius centring for Hyper-ideal). Both follow the existing Phase-8a-MVP named-parameter convention. Chained syntax (`.output_uv_map(...).normalise_layout(true)`) is not yet supported — pass them one at a time. Tests (5 new in test_cgal_phase8b_lite.cpp) ─────────────────────────────────────────── * `OutputUvMap_Euclidean_PopulatesPmap` — UVs are finite + non-trivial. * `OutputUvMap_Spherical_PopulatesXyz` — every output on unit S². * `OutputUvMap_HyperIdeal_PointsInPoincareDisk` — |p|² ≤ 1 if converged. * `OutputUvMap_Absent_DoesNotRunLayout` — no parameter ⇒ no layout. * `OutputUvMap_NormaliseLayout_TakesEffect` — both raw + norm calls return finite UVs (named-parameter chaining limitation documented). All five pass. Full CGAL suite: 232/232, 0 skipped (was 227). doc/api/tests.md ──────────────── Updated the per-suite table to list the 7 CGAL test suites that landed in v0.9.0 (8a MVP + 9a + 9b + 8b-Lite) but had not yet been added to the canonical table.

Covers: * Schläfli identity (1858/60) — gradient and second-order form. * Derivatives of ζ, ζ₁₃, ζ₁₄, ζ₁₅ (all hyper-ideal-to-fully-ideal cases). * Chain rule for ∂β_i/∂(b,a) and ∂α_ij/∂(b,a) — case-split on the four α_ij branches. * Per-face 6×6 block formulas. * Acceptance criteria for the future implementation. * Implementation outline (Conformal_map header sketch). * Appendix A: sign / argument-order pitfalls reading the code. * References: Schläfli 1858, Milnor 1982, Vinberg 1993, Cho-Kim 1999, Rivin, Glickenstein 2011, Springborn 2020, BPS 2015. 4. **doc/roadmap/porting-status.md** (~250 lines) Operational snapshot of "where is each piece of Java math today" at v0.9.0. Sections: * 25 000 lines of Java in one table (ported / worth porting / intentionally skipped breakdown). * Five DCE models — full status matrix with Java port status, Hessian type, Newton support, CGAL entry, UV-output capability. * Topology + solver infrastructure status. * CGAL public API map + known limitations (no chaining, Surface_mesh only, submission-readiness gaps). * Reverse cross-reference: Java class → C++ port location (or "skipped: replaced by …" / "in roadmap: phase X"). * Things in C++ that the Java original does NOT have (research extensions track). * "How to use the library today" quickstart. 5. **doc/architecture/locked-vs-flexible.md** (~270 lines) 12-item architecture-decision review with tier classification (🔴 load-bearing / 🟡 semi-fixed / 🟢 opportunistic). Each item includes: locked-since date, cost to change, when to revisit, recommended posture for new contributors. Key insight stated up front: "the load-bearing decisions are all good in 2026". Closes with five open questions for the external reviewer — items where a second opinion would genuinely help (Phase 9c algorithm choice, Phase 10a priorities, analytic-Hessian payoff justification, CGAL upstream vs independent distribution, geometry-central cross-validation).

Differentiating loses any explicit $\ell$ dependence, hence + (A3) is the simplest of the four branches. + +## Appendix B. Numerical guard zones + +The block-FD currently used as reference clamps: +- $b_i < 0 \;\to\; 0.01$ on variable vertices, +- $a_e < 0 \;\to\; 0$ on edges between two variable vertices. + +The analytic kernel must reproduce these clamps *before* computing any +derivatives; otherwise the FD-vs-analytic cross-check (Acceptance §1) +will fail at boundary inputs. Inside the clamped region, all +$\sinh \ell, \sin \beta$ denominators in (Z), (Z13), (Z14), (Z15) are +bounded away from zero, so the closed-form expressions are numerically +stable. The degenerate triangle-inequality branches in +`face_angles_from_local_dofs` (lines 174–183) set angles to $0$ or +$\pi$, which makes some $\zeta$-partials infinite; in those branches the +Jacobian is undefined and we return the all-zero block (matching the +non-smooth boundary of the domain). This is also the policy of the +block-FD reference, so the cross-check stays consistent. diff --git a/doc/roadmap/porting-status.md b/doc/roadmap/porting-status.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4018d99 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/roadmap/porting-status.md @@ -0,0 +1,247 @@ +# Porting status overview + +> **Snapshot date:** 2026-05-22 (commit graph at v0.9.0 + 2 open PRs). +> +> **Audience.** External collaborators evaluating whether to use, extend, +> or contribute to conformallab++.

Mathematical background + +The package implements **two mathematically distinct stages**: + +### Stage A — Newton solver (variational optimisation) + +For the Euclidean DCE functional (Springborn–Schmies–Bobenko 2008), the +solver finds the conformal scale factor vector `u ∈ ℝⁿ` that satisfies + +``` +G(u)_v := Θ_v − Σ_{T ∋ v} α_v(T; u) = 0 ∀ v ∈ V \ {pinned} +``` + +i.e. the actual cone angles match the target curvature `Θ_v` at every +non-pinned vertex. The gradient `G` is the variational derivative of +the convex energy + +``` +E(u) = ∫_0^1 ⟨ G(t u), u ⟩ dt (path integral on the closed Yamabe 1-form) +``` + +The output is **purely combinatorial-metric**: the converged `u_v` +determines an intrinsic flat metric `ℓ_ij(u) = exp(½(u_i + u_j)) · ℓ_ij^(0)` +on the abstract triangulation. **No embedding yet exists.** + +### Stage B — Layout (geometric realisation) + +The layout step is a separate **trilateration** turning intrinsic edge +lengths into a `Point_2` (or `Point_3`) per vertex: + +1. Pick a seed triangle `T₀`; place its three vertices canonically. +2. BFS over the dual graph from `T₀`. Each newly visited triangle has + two vertices already placed; the third is the unique solution of + two distance constraints (intersection of two circles). +3. The BFS uses a **priority queue keyed on BFS depth** + (`euclidean_layout` in `code/include/layout.hpp`) to avoid the + numerical drift of pure DFS on long thin meshes. + +Spherical / hyperbolic variants substitute spherical-cap or Poincaré- +disk trilateration respectively. + +Stage A is convex optimisation in ℝⁿ; Stage B is deterministic +realisation with no degrees of freedom.

This is +the same limitation noted in `test_cgal_phase8b_lite.cpp`: + +```cpp +// Named-parameter chaining (`a.b().c()`) is not currently supported on +// the package-local tags; pass one parameter per call instead. +``` + +Adding member-function chaining is a separate Phase 8b extension — +requires writing a derived `Named_function_parameters` subclass that +exposes `.output_uv_map(...)`, `.normalise_layout(...)`, etc. + +--- + +## 4. Named-parameter mechanism — how it works + +CGAL's named parameters are a compile-time dispatch trick. Three pieces: + +### 4.1 The tag (in `internal_np`) + +```cpp +namespace CGAL::Conformal_map::internal_np { + enum output_uv_map_t { output_uv_map }; +} +``` + +A single-value `enum` is the lightest possible type-level marker. The +value `output_uv_map` is what callers will pass as the *key*; the type +`output_uv_map_t` is what `get_parameter` will use for the lookup. + +### 4.2 The user-facing helper (in `CGAL::parameters`) + +```cpp +template +auto output_uv_map(const PropertyMap& pmap) { + return CGAL::Named_function_parameters< + PropertyMap, + Conformal_map::internal_np::output_uv_map_t, + CGAL::internal_np::No_property // no "next" parameter in chain + >(pmap); +} +``` + +This wraps the property map in a `Named_function_parameters` object +tagged with `output_uv_map_t`. The third template argument is the +"previous" link in a chain; `No_property` means this is a singleton +pack. (Chaining would substitute the previous pack's type here.) + +### 4.3 The internal lookup (inside the entry function) + +The full read-and-act pattern from `Discrete_conformal_map.h`: + +```cpp +// Step 1 — try to extract the parameter. +auto uv_param = parameters::get_parameter( + np, Conformal_map::internal_np::output_uv_map); + +// Step 2 — at compile time, did we find one? +constexpr bool has_uv = !std::is_same_v< + decltype(uv_param), internal_np::Param_not_found>; + +// Step 3 — conditionally do the extra work. +if constexpr (has_uv) { + if (nr.converged) { + auto layout = ::conformallab::euclidean_layout(mesh, nr.x, maps); + + const bool do_norm = parameters::choose_parameter( + parameters::get_parameter(np, Conformal_map::internal_np::normalise_layout), + false); + if (do_norm) ::conformallab::normalise_euclidean(layout); + + for (auto v : mesh.vertices()) { + const auto& uv = layout.uv[v.idx()]; + put(uv_param, v, + typename Traits::Kernel::Point_2(uv.x(), uv.y())); + } + } +} +``` + +Key points: + +- `get_parameter` returns either the wrapped value or a sentinel + `Param_not_found`. The check is `std::is_same_v<…, Param_not_found>`. +- `choose_parameter(get_parameter(np, tag), default_value)` is the + one-liner form for scalar parameters with a default. +- `constexpr if` ensures that if the user did not pass `output_uv_map`, + the layout call is **not even instantiated** — no runtime cost, and + no need for the layout routine to be callable on the wrapper's + signature (e.g. it can require a Point_2 traits type that the user + hasn't supplied). +- The layout step is gated on `nr.converged` for a reason: trilateration + on a non-converged `u` produces garbage edge lengths and can throw + on degenerate triangles. The current contract is **layout iff Newton + converged**; on non-convergence the pmap is left at the value the + caller initialised it with. + +The same three-step pattern appears in `discrete_conformal_map_spherical` +(writing `Point_3`) and `discrete_conformal_map_hyper_ideal` (writing +`Point_2` in the Poincaré disk). + +--- + +## 5. How to extend the pattern + +Recipe for adding a new package-local named parameter — running example +`output_holonomy_map` (a per-edge map carrying the Möbius/translation +holonomy data that some downstream algorithms consume). + +### Step 1 — Add the tag in `internal/parameters.h` + +```cpp +namespace CGAL::Conformal_map::internal_np { + /// Property-map: edge_descriptor → 2x2 matrix of holonomy data. + /// Default: not populated. + enum output_holonomy_map_t { output_holonomy_map }; +} +``` + +Two-line block. Use a meaningful Doxygen `\internal` comment because +this is the canonical contract for the parameter's semantics. + +### Step 2 — Add the user-facing helper in `parameters.h` + +```cpp +namespace CGAL::parameters { + +/// `output_holonomy_map(pmap)` — write per-edge holonomy matrices +/// into `pmap`. Only meaningful for closed surfaces with non-trivial +/// π₁; ignored on simply-connected meshes. +template +auto output_holonomy_map(const PropertyMap& pmap) { + return CGAL::Named_function_parameters< + PropertyMap, + Conformal_map::internal_np::output_holonomy_map_t, + CGAL::internal_np::No_property + >(pmap); +} + +} // namespace CGAL::parameters +``` + +A Doxygen comment is **mandatory** here — this is the public surface. + +### Step 3 — Use `get_parameter + constexpr if` in the entry function + +```cpp +auto hol_param = parameters::get_parameter( + np, Conformal_map::internal_np::output_holonomy_map); +constexpr bool has_hol = !std::is_same_v< + decltype(hol_param), internal_np::Param_not_found>; +if constexpr (has_hol) { + auto H = ::conformallab::compute_holonomy(mesh, nr.x, maps); + for (auto e : mesh.edges()) + put(hol_param, e, H[e.idx()]); +} +``` + +### Step 4 — Add tests + +At minimum two: + +1. **Takes-effect test.** Pass the parameter; verify the side effect + actually happens (pmap is populated, values are non-default). +2. **Sanity-when-absent test.** Call the wrapper without the parameter; + verify the call still succeeds and produces the expected base result. + +Both patterns are exemplified in `test_cgal_phase8b_lite.cpp` (next +section). + +### Optional Step 5 — Companion flag + +If your new parameter has a Boolean tweak (analogous to +`normalise_layout`), follow exactly the same recipe — `enum X_t { X }` ++ helper + `choose_parameter(..., default)` at the read site. + +--- + +## 6. Tests — walkthrough of `test_cgal_phase8b_lite.cpp` + +The OutputUvMap_* tests live at the bottom of the file. Each codifies +one acceptance criterion. + +### 6.1 `OutputUvMap_Euclidean_PopulatesPmap` + +Two assertions: (a) every UV is finite, (b) at least one vertex has +moved off the origin. Test (b) rules out the false-positive where the +layout silently returned the pmap's default at every vertex. + +### 6.2 `OutputUvMap_Spherical_PopulatesXyz` + +Geometric round-trip: every output point must lie on the unit sphere. + +```cpp +const double r = std::sqrt(p.x()*p.x() + p.y()*p.y() + p.z()*p.z()); +EXPECT_NEAR(r, 1.0, 1e-6); +``` + +The spherical analogue of 6.1(b): the layout is correct iff the +realisation lands on S². + +### 6.3 `OutputUvMap_HyperIdeal_PointsInPoincareDisk` + +The natural Θ/θ targets do not always reach Newton equilibrium inside +the default `max_iterations(200)`. The test branches: + +```cpp +if (res.converged) { + for (auto v : mesh.vertices()) { + const double r2 = p.x()*p.x() + p.y()*p.y(); + EXPECT_LE(r2, 1.0 + 1e-6); + } +} +// else: layout was skipped by the wrapper's `if (nr.converged)` guard. +``` + +Documenting the wrapper contract ("layout iff converged") via the +test keeps it resilient to PRNG-sensitive Newton paths. + +### 6.4 `OutputUvMap_Absent_DoesNotRunLayout` + +Sanity test: omitting `output_uv_map` must not change the existing +behaviour. Catches the regression where adding the new `constexpr if` +perturbs the wrapper's result type or consumes extra work. + +### 6.5 `OutputUvMap_NormaliseLayout_TakesEffect` + +Because chaining is not yet implemented (§3), this exercises the toggle +indirectly: it runs the wrapper twice into two separate pmaps and +verifies both populate finite values. When chaining lands, upgrade this +to actually pass `normalise_layout(true)` on the second call and compare +UV bounding boxes (the normalised one must be axis-aligned and +centroid-zero). + +--- + +## 7. Adding output to the two missing modes + +### 7.1 CP-Euclidean (face-based) — proposed `output_circle_map` + +The circle-packing entry parametrises **faces**: each face `f` has a +radius `ρ_f`. The natural per-face output is `(centre, radius)`: + +```cpp +auto circles = mesh.add_property_map>("f:circle", ...).first; + +CGAL::discrete_circle_packing_euclidean( + mesh, CGAL::parameters::output_circle_map(circles)); +``` + +Effort: **1–2 days**. The face-graph BFS-packing is Stephenson's +`circlepack` algorithm; radii come from Newton, new work is the +geometric loop plus the §5 plumbing. + +### 7.2 Inversive-Distance — needs new layout routine first + +The inversive-distance functional yields edge lengths + +``` +ℓ_ij(u)² = r_i² + r_j² + 2 I_ij r_i r_j (Luo 2004 §3) +``` + +with `r_i = exp(u_i)`. Required work: write +`inversive_distance_layout()` in `code/include/layout.hpp` mirroring +`euclidean_layout()` but consuming the above `ℓ_ij(u)` instead of +`exp(½(u_i + u_j)) · ℓ_ij^(0)`. Then wire the parameter through +`discrete_inversive_distance_map` exactly as §4.3 shows. + +Effort: **~3 days**. Status: **TBD**. + +--- + +## 8.

We measured a **96.5× speed-up** +on a 200-face tetrahedron strip (V = 202, n = 603 DOFs) against the +full-FD baseline, with identical numerical output to O(ε²). + +If you need still more performance, the upgrade path is +**Phase 9b-analytic** (see [research-track.md §Phase 9b-analytic](../roadmap/research-track.md)), +which differentiates through the chain +`(bᵢ, aₑ) → lᵢⱼ → ζ → α, β` analytically using Schläfli's identity. +That is *another* ~6× over block-FD but at substantial implementation +cost. + +--- + +## Mathematical background — the per-face locality lemma + +The hyper-ideal energy `E(b, a)` is a sum over faces of a local function +of the **six DOFs touching that face**: + +* three vertex DOFs `(b₁, b₂, b₃)` — Penner-style edge-weight logarithms, +* three edge DOFs `(a₁₂, a₂₃, a₃₁)` — log-coshes of the hyperbolic + truncation lengths. + +The face contributes six output angles: + +* three interior angles `(β₁, β₂, β₃)` at the vertices, +* three dihedral angles `(α₁₂, α₂₃, α₃₁)` at the edges. + +These six numbers are obtained by the pure function + +```cpp +struct FaceAngleOutputs { + double beta1, beta2, beta3; // interior angles at v₁,v₂,v₃ + double alpha12, alpha23, alpha31; // dihedral angles at e₁₂,e₂₃,e₃₁ +}; + +FaceAngleOutputs face_angles_from_local_dofs( + double b1, double b2, double b3, + double a12, double a23, double a31, + bool v1b, bool v2b, bool v3b); +``` + +(located in `hyper_ideal_functional.hpp:152`). It carries **no mesh +state**: just six reals plus three boolean "interior-vertex" flags +controlling the degenerate-vertex clamps inherited from +`HyperIdealFunctional.java` lines 122–127. + +### Gradient decomposition + +The global gradient is the angle-defect / Schläfli-type sum + +``` +G_{b,v} = Σ_{f ∋ v} β_v(f) − Θ_v (Springborn 2020 eq. 4.6) +G_{a,e} = Σ_{f ∋ e} α_e(f) − θ_e +``` + +where `Θ_v` is the prescribed interior angle sum at vertex `v` and +`θ_e` is the prescribed dihedral at edge `e`. Each term in either sum +depends on **only the six local DOFs of one face**. + +### Hessian decomposition (the locality lemma) + +Differentiating once more: + +``` +∂G_{b,v}/∂y = Σ_{f ∋ v} ∂β_v(f) / ∂y +∂G_{a,e}/∂y = Σ_{f ∋ e} ∂α_e(f) / ∂y +``` + +and `∂β_v(f)/∂y` (resp. `∂α_e(f)/∂y`) is non-zero **only if `y` is one +of the six local DOFs of face `f`**. Hence the global Hessian is + +``` +H[x, y] = Σ_{f : x, y ∈ local(f)} J_f[row(x), col(y)] +``` + +where `J_f ∈ ℝ^{6×6}` is the local Jacobian of the map + +``` +(β₁, β₂, β₃, α₁₂, α₂₃, α₃₁) = Φ_f(b₁, b₂, b₃, a₁₂, a₂₃, a₃₁). +``` + +This is the *only* fact the algorithm relies on. The implementation +is correct iff `Φ_f` is genuinely local (no mesh access, no property- +map dereferences inside). See §"When to use this pattern" below for +how to check this for a new functional. + +### Symmetry and PSD + +Because `E` is `C²` and strictly convex on the admissible domain +(Springborn 2020 Theorem 4.4), the global Hessian is symmetric and PSD. +The block sum preserves both properties to within FD rounding, and the +post-symmetrisation helper + +```cpp +hyper_ideal_hessian_block_fd_sym(mesh, x, m, eps) // returns (H + Hᵀ)/2 +``` + +removes any residual antisymmetry from the perturbation rounding. + +--- + +## Algorithm and cost analysis + +Let `n` = `hyper_ideal_dimension(mesh, m)` (number of free DOFs), `F` = +number of faces. + +* **Full-FD Hessian** (`hyper_ideal_hessian`, line 64): + for each of the `n` columns, perturb one global DOF by `±ε` and call + the full gradient evaluator, which itself loops over `F` faces. + Total cost: `O(n · F)` face evaluations. +* **Block-FD Hessian** (`hyper_ideal_hessian_block_fd`, line 140): + for each of `F` faces, perturb each of the 6 local DOFs by `±ε` and + re-evaluate the 6-output face kernel.

No + explicit hash-map keyed by `(row, col)` is needed. +2. **Pinned-DOF handling.** A pinned (gauge-fixed) DOF has `idx = −1`. + The inner `continue` statements simply skip its row and column. This + is equivalent to deleting those rows/columns from the Hessian + *a posteriori*, but more efficient — we never compute them. + +--- + +## When to use this pattern for a new functional + +The block-FD scaffolding above generalises with very little change. +Checklist for porting: + +1. **Identify the per-face DOFs.** For most discrete-conformal + functionals these are three vertex DOFs (a logarithmic scale at each + corner) plus, optionally, three edge or face DOFs (truncation + lengths, gluing parameters, edge weights). The block is 6×6 for the + hyper-ideal case; for the vanilla Euclidean Yamabe energy it would + be 3×3. +2. **Extract a pure-math local function.** Refactor the existing + `compute_face_angles(mesh, f, x, m)` so that the numerical core + takes its DOFs as plain doubles and returns plain doubles — no + mesh, no property maps, no halfedges. In our codebase this is the + line drawn between `face_angles_from_local_dofs(...)` (pure) and + `compute_face_angles(...)` (mesh-aware wrapper). +3. **Wrap in the `block_fd_hessian()` loop.** Copy the body of + `hyper_ideal_hessian_block_fd` verbatim and replace the kernel call + plus the index tuple.

From 039cc26e36eb24955a87ac1f08fa7c61c5f03825 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tarik Moussa Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 13:43:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 7/7] Phase 8b-Lite: pipe-operator chaining for named parameters MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds `operator|` in `namespace CGAL` so package-local named parameters can be combined left-to-right without modifying CGAL upstream: auto p = CGAL::parameters::gradient_tolerance(1e-12) | CGAL::parameters::max_iterations(500) | CGAL::parameters::output_uv_map(uv); CGAL::discrete_conformal_map_euclidean(mesh, p); Why not the canonical `.a().b().c()` syntax ─────────────────────────────────────────── CGAL's standard chaining mechanism requires registering each named parameter as a member function on `Named_function_parameters` via the `CGAL_add_named_parameter` macro in `CGAL/STL_Extension/internal/parameters_interface.h` — a vendored upstream file that conformallab++ deliberately treats as read-only. Adding member-function chainers for our package-local tags would require either forking CGAL or modifying the vendored copy. Neither is acceptable for a library that wants to remain portable across future CGAL releases. The pipe-operator achieves the same compositional semantics via a free function in `namespace CGAL` (so ADL finds it for `Named_function_parameters` operands). Implementation: rebuild the right-hand-side `Named_function_parameters` with the left-hand-side as its `Base`, producing an indistinguishable chain that every entry function accepts unchanged. Implementation: `code/include/CGAL/Conformal_map/internal/parameters.h` lines 158-187. The operator is constrained to right-hand-sides with `No_property` base (i.e. fresh single-parameter packs from the helper functions), so it never collides with any future CGAL operator on the same type. Tests (2 new, total Phase-8b-Lite suite 15 → 17) ──────────────────────────────────────────────── * CGALPhase8bLite.NamedParamPipe_MultipleParamsTakeEffect Chain three parameters; verify all three take effect (tight tolerance respected + UV pmap populated + iteration cap honoured). * CGALPhase8bLite.NamedParamPipe_TwoParams Chain two parameters; verify max_iterations(0) blocks the loop even when combined with another param. Full CGAL suite: 234/234 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED (was 232). Total: 257/257 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED (was 255). scripts/check-test-counts.sh: OK. Documentation updates ───────────────────── * doc/tutorials/add-output-uv-map.md §3.4: "Current limitation: no chaining" → "Chaining: use the pipe operator `|`". Explains why CGAL's `.member()` syntax isn't available and shows the `|` workaround with a working code example. * doc/architecture/locked-vs-flexible.md §8: chaining now flagged as shipped via pipe; recommended posture says `.member()` chaining only if a user pushes for the CGAL-canonical syntax. * doc/roadmap/porting-status.md §5: API limitations table updated. * doc/api/tests.md: CGALPhase8bLite row 15 → 17, total 232 → 234.
