Evaluated all four mid-tier architecture-touch levers from
doc/architecture/compile-time.md. Outcome: ship two opt-in
improvements, defer two with explicit rationale.
#6 — Eager-include reduction (Dense → Core) ✅ shipped
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Three headers downgraded from `<Eigen/Dense>` to `<Eigen/Core>`:
* projective_math.hpp
* hyper_ideal_visualization_utility.hpp
* mesh_utils.hpp
All three only use Matrix/Vector primitives, no Eigen decompositions.
The other five Dense-including headers were inspected and KEPT on
`<Eigen/Dense>` because they use `.inverse()`, `.determinant()`,
`ColPivHouseholderQR`, or `SelfAdjointEigenSolver`.
Measured Apple M1 cold rebuild after this change: 58 / 60 / 63 s
across three runs. The prior analysis predicted ~10 % gain; reality
landed within the ±5 s natural variance band of repeated builds, so
the net build-time effect on the test target is "noise-level".
The change is still kept because downstream consumers who include
ONLY one of the three downgraded headers see a real per-TU drop
(Core preprocesses to ~250 k lines vs Dense's ~350 k).
#10 — Fast test-build mode (-O0 -g) ✅ shipped
───────────────────────────────────────────────
New option CONFORMALLAB_FAST_TEST_BUILD (default OFF). When ON,
both test targets (`conformallab_tests` and `conformallab_cgal_tests`)
compile with `-O0 -g -UNDEBUG`, overriding the inherited Release
`-O3 -DNDEBUG`.
Measured Apple clang: 51.6 s vs 46.8 s without -O0 → slightly slower.
The Backend phase that prior analysis predicted would drop from 9.3 s
to ~2 s doesn't dominate on Apple clang the way it does with GCC;
the bigger `-g` debug info also lengthens the link step.
Kept shipped because:
* On Linux + g++ (CI runner) the picture flips — Backend dominates
more, `-O0` typically delivers the predicted ~40 % build-time cut.
* Cross-platform parity: users on Linux see the same CMake option
they see locally.
Honest documentation in doc/architecture/compile-time.md notes that
the Apple-clang-local benefit is currently 0 %. Tests RUN ~15× slower
under `-O0` (1.5 s → 23 s for 236 tests); acceptable for CI "did
anything break" loops, NOT acceptable for benchmark workloads.
#5 — Move detail:: impls to .inl files ⏸ deferred
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
Pure enabler for #7. Without #7 landing, the .inl extraction would
just add an extra hop to header reading. Reconsider once a concrete
maintenance reason emerges (e.g. a downstream user wants to override a
detail helper).
#7 — Pimpl on newton_solver + priority_BFS ⏸ deferred
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Honest assessment: Newton_solver is template-on-Functional, so a
faithful Pimpl would require either type erasure or a virtual-method
interface across the five solver instantiations. Estimated 1-2 weeks
of refactor with measurable API-surface risk. PCH already absorbs
the SimplicialLDLT + SparseQR template parse cost, so the remaining
delta is small. Deferred until a concrete user reports compile-time
pain from these specific templates.
Documentation
─────────────
README.md gains a "Compile-time workflow modes" section with all six
opt-in switches (BUILD_TESTING, HEADERS_CHECK, DEV_BUILD, FAST_TEST_BUILD,
USE_PCH, USE_CCACHE) as ready-to-paste command lines.
doc/architecture/compile-time.md gains:
* an "Architecture-touch quick-wins" section with the four-row
status table (5 deferred / 6 shipped / 7 deferred / 10 shipped)
* the FAST_TEST_BUILD row added to the workflow-modes table
* the mode-matrix table updated with Linux-vs-macOS expected values
* an honest "variance" note explaining the ±5 s spread between
repeated cold builds and why #6's net effect lands in that noise
Verified: default build 55 s (within usual variance), 236/236 tests
pass under default; FAST_TEST_BUILD=ON build 52 s, 236/236 PASS.

Closes the v0.9.0 release loop on top of Phase 9a-Newton + Phase 8b-Lite:
* CHANGELOG.md (NEW) — Keep-A-Changelog format, with v0.9.0 entry
detailing all Phase 9a / 9b / 8b-Lite contents and the doc-audit
corrections that landed via PR #10.
* CITATION.cff — version 0.7.0 → 0.9.0, date 2026-05-18 → 2026-05-22.
* Stale HDS-port stubs removed (13 GTEST_SKIPs total):
- code/tests/test_spherical_functional.cpp
- code/tests/test_hyper_ideal_functional.cpp
- code/tests/test_hyper_ideal_hyperelliptic_utility.cpp
These referenced a "HDS port (Phase 4)" that never happened —
CoHDS was intentionally replaced by CGAL::Surface_mesh, and the
functional tests live in code/tests/cgal/test_*_functional.cpp.
* Test-count updates everywhere:
- Non-CGAL 36 → 23 (drop = 13 deleted stubs)
- CGAL 176 → 227
- Total 212 → 250 (+38 net, 0 skipped)

Root cause: -DWITH_CGAL=ON implied -DWITH_VIEWER=ON, which pulled in
GLFW, which requires wayland-scanner — not present in the headless CI
container (ubuntu:22.04 ARM64).
Fix: new CMake option -DWITH_CGAL_TESTS=ON builds conformallab_cgal_tests
without touching the viewer, GLFW, libigl, or any display dependency.
Only Boost headers are required (already in the Docker image).
Changes
───────
code/CMakeLists.txt
- Add WITH_CGAL_TESTS option (OFF by default)
- find_package(Boost REQUIRED) now shared between WITH_CGAL and WITH_CGAL_TESTS
- WITH_CGAL still implies WITH_VIEWER (for local full builds)
- Remove duplicate find_package(Boost) inside the WITH_CGAL block
code/tests/CMakeLists.txt
- cgal/ subdirectory added for WITH_CGAL OR WITH_CGAL_TESTS
.gitea/workflows/cpp-tests.yml
- test-cgal job: -DWITH_CGAL=ON → -DWITH_CGAL_TESTS=ON
README.md
- Build modes table: three rows (default / CGAL_TESTS / CGAL full)
- Quick-start: separate headless and full-local sections
- Prerequisite table updated

Replaces the Java CoHDS with CGAL::Surface_mesh<Point3> (Simple_cartesian
kernel). Adds domain-specific property maps for lambda/theta/idx/alpha and
face geometry type — the direct C++ equivalent of CoVertex/CoEdge adapters.
New files:
include/conformal_mesh.hpp — ConformalMesh type + property-map helpers
include/mesh_builder.hpp — mesh factories (triangle, tetrahedron,
quad-strip, fan) for tests and examples
tests/cgal/ — second test executable (conformallab_cgal_tests)
built only with -DWITH_CGAL=ON
Test results (local, -DWITH_CGAL=ON):
conformallab_tests: 36 registered | 23 passed | 13 skipped | 0 failed
conformallab_cgal_tests: 14 registered | 14 passed | 0 skipped | 0 failed

Implements getEuclideanCircleFromHyperbolic() in C++ (hyperboloid model
→ Poincaré disk via Lorentz boost + circumcircle). Ports the 2 Java tests
that were the only remaining candidates not requiring HDS or a solver.
All other unported tests (DataTypesTest, SchottkyIOTest,
UniformizationDataTest, BranchedCoverTorusTest) are blocked by XML
serialization or HDS – stubs remain for Phase 4.
Test totals: 36 registered | 23 passed | 13 skipped | 0 failed.

Fully ported (pure math, no HDS required):
test_discrete_elliptic_utility.cpp – 2 tests
normalizeModulus: move tau into SL(2,Z) fundamental domain
test_p2_utility.cpp – 3 tests
P2 projective geometry (perpendicularBisector, pointFromLines,
makeDirectIsometryFromFrames double vs long double precision)
New headers:
include/discrete_elliptic_utility.hpp – normalizeModulus
include/p2_utility.hpp – P2 Euclidean geometry (templated
on scalar type so double and long double share one implementation)
Stubs (GTEST_SKIP, blocked until HDS port – Phase 4):
test_hyper_ideal_functional.cpp – 5 tests (1 @Ignore in Java)
test_hyper_ideal_hyperelliptic_utility.cpp – 3 tests
test_spherical_functional.cpp – 5 tests
All use CoHDS + HalfEdgeUtils which are not yet ported to C++.
Result: 34 tests total | 21 passed | 13 skipped | 0 failed

- include/matrix_utility.hpp: 4x4 mapping matrix R·from=to (Eigen)
- include/projective_math.hpp: dehomogenize, hyperbolicDistance,
isOnSegment (collinearity + betweenness via 3D cross/dot),
getPointOnCorrespondingSegment (parameter by arc-length ratio)
- test_matrix_utility.cpp: port of MatrixUtilityTest (1 test)
- test_surface_curve_utility.cpp: port of SurfaceCurveUtilityTest
