## Java packages not yet in the roadmap — 2026 full-library scan
A complete scan of the Java source tree (`de.varylab.discreteconformal`) revealed the
following packages and classes not yet covered by Phases 19c or the Phase-10 plan.
Organised by value / effort.
### Functional package (`de.varylab.discreteconformal.functional`)
| Java class | What it does | Proposed phase |
|---|---|---|
| `ConesUtility` (in `unwrapper/`) | Cone singularity detection, BFS-path cutting from cone to boundary, auto-placement via conjugate gradient, quantization to π/2 / π/3 / π/6 — fills the "⚠️ data structure only" gap in the parity table | **9d** |
| `MobiusCenteringFunctional` | Variational Möbius centering via Lorentz geometry: E = Σ log(⟨x,p⟩/√(⟨x,x⟩)). Supplies full gradient + Hessian — more principled than the iterative Fréchet mean in `normalise_hyperbolic()` | **9d** |
| `ElectrostaticSphereFunctional` | Repulsive electrostatic energy on S² (E = Σ 0.5/d² + sphere constraint). Useful as initialization heuristic for spherical uniformization | **9d** (optional) |
| `EuclideanCyclicFunctional` | Euclidean DCE functional reduced to a cyclic-symmetry quotient — reduces DOFs for surfaces with cyclic symmetry group | **10g** |
| `HyperbolicCyclicFunctional` | Hyperbolic analogue of above | **10g** |
### Circle pattern package (`de.varylab.discreteconformal.unwrapper.circlepattern`)
| Java class | What it does | Proposed phase |
|---|---|---|
| `CirclePatternUtility` | Computes circle pattern radii (ρ per face) via Newton trust-region on CPEuclidean energy — the solver side | **9e** |
| `CirclePatternLayout` | Embeds a circle pattern in the plane from the ρ values — the layout side. Required complement to `cp_euclidean_functional.hpp` already ported in 9a.1 | **9e** |
| `CPEuclideanRotation` | Rotation-invariant variant of the CP-Euclidean functional | **9e** |
### Uniformization package (`de.varylab.discreteconformal.uniformization`)
| Java class | What it does | Proposed phase |
|---|---|---|
| `CutAndGlueUtility` | Mesh surgery beyond tree-cotree: arbitrary cut paths, gluing cut surfaces back together — needed for genus g > 1 canonical polygon construction | **9c** (add to existing plan) |
| `VisualizationUtility` | Java/jReality specific — do not port | — |
| `Uniformizer` | High-level pipeline driver — already covered by our CLI + pipeline API | — |
### Unwrapper package — additional classes
| Java class | What it does | Proposed phase |
|---|---|---|
| `StereographicUnwrapper` | Stereographic projection S²→{∞} + Möbius centring — converts spherical DCE output to 2-D atlas for genus-0 | **9d** |
| `SphereUtility` | Sphere-specific utilities (area centroid, antipodal, normalization helpers) | **9d** |
| `CircleDomainUnwrapper` | Conformal map of multiply-connected planar region onto disk-with-holes (Koebe-Andreev-Thurston) | **10d** |
### Quasi-isothermic package (`de.varylab.discreteconformal.unwrapper.quasiisothermic`)
Quasi-isothermic maps generalize conformal maps to meshes where exact conformality is impossible.
Entirely absent from the current roadmap.
| Java class | What it does | Proposed phase |
|---|---|---|
| `QuasiisothermicDelaunay` | Delaunay-conformal triangulation as QI preprocessing | **10e** |
| `QuasiisothermicLayout` | Embedding from quasi-isothermic DOFs | **10e** |
| `QuasiisothermicUtility` | Lawson-correspondence parameterization (~800 lines) | **10e** |
| `DBFSolution` | Discrete Beltrami field solution | **10e** |
| `SinConditionApplication` | Sin-condition functional for QI maps | **10e** |
| `ConformalStructureUtility` | Conformal structure extraction from QI solution | **10e** |
### Koebe package (`de.varylab.discreteconformal.unwrapper.koebe`)
| Java class | What it does | Proposed phase |
|---|---|---|
| `KoebePolyhedron` | KoebeAndreevThurston theorem: realization of every 3-connected planar graph as a convex polyhedron with edges tangent to the unit sphere (321 lines) | **10f** |
### Util package — additional classes not yet in roadmap
| Java class | What it does | Proposed phase |
|---|---|---|
| `DualityUtility` | Hodge-star operator + dual cycles via cotangent weights — **prerequisite for Phase 10a** (discrete holomorphic forms need the dual mesh) | **10a prerequisite** (consider 9c) |
| `HyperellipticUtility` | Hyperelliptic surfaces (genus g ≥ 2 with Z₂ symmetry) — period matrix has block-diagonal structure | **10b** |
| `HyperIdealHyperellipticUtility` | HyperIdeal variant for hyperelliptic surfaces | **10b** |
| `PathUtility` | Mesh path operations — supporting infrastructure for Phase 9c homology basis | **9c** |
| `LaplaceUtility` | Discrete Laplace operators (cotangent + combinatorial) | **9 / infrastructure** |
| `EdgeUtility` | Edge orientation and classification helpers | **infrastructure** |
| `StitchingUtility` | Seam stitching after cut-and-glue | **9c** |
### Do not port — Java-specific or superseded
| Java class | Reason |
|---|---|
| `ColtIterationReporterImpl` | Colt sparse matrix library — replaced by Eigen |
| `NodeIndexComparator` | Java Comparator — replaced by `std::less` |
| `SimpleMatrixPrintUtility` | Debug print — Eigen `.format()` is sufficient |
| `EuclideanUnwrapperPETSc` / `SphericalNormalizerPETSc` | PETSc solver binding — replaced by Eigen |
| `Search` | CoHDS-specific graph search — replaced by CGAL halfedge iteration |
| `SparseUtility` | Colt sparse matrix utils — replaced by Eigen |

Fills the "⚠️ data structure only" gap in java-parity.md:
- Detect interior cone vertices (angle deficit ≠ 0)
- BFS path from cone to mesh boundary → cut edge set
- Auto-placement: conjugate gradient on Θ-gradient magnitude
- Quantization: snap cone angles to π/2, π/3, π/6 for
quad / triangle / hexagonal atlas targets

9d.2 StereographicUnwrapper + SphereUtility (Java port)
→ stereographic_layout.hpp

adds the embedding step (ρ values → actual vertex positions in ℝ²).

- CirclePatternLayout: embed from ρ values (intersection-angle model)
- CPEuclideanRotation: rotation-invariant CP functional variant
