External reviewer pass over the literature references. Verified entries
against arXiv/DOI/publisher and corrected misattributions that had
propagated across the docs.

Corrected citations (consistent across all docs):
- Bowers-Bowers-Lutz 2026: title was the 2017 paper's
  -> "Rigidity of Koebe Polyhedra and Inversive Distance Circle Packings"
- Liouville theorem: "Springborn 2019" -> Pinkall & Springborn,
  Geom. Dedicata 214 (2021)
- Bobenko-Pinkall-Springborn: "G&T 14 (2010)" -> G&T 19(4) (2015), 2155-2215

- 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

0b1bf07232 docs: fix 2 broken internal links
- doc/release-policy.md:85 corrected `doc/api/tests.md` link to relative
  `api/tests.md` (was resolving to nonexistent doc/doc/api/tests.md).
- doc/tutorials/block-fd-hessian.md:40 redirected stale reference
  `../math/hyper-ideal.md` to the actual file `../math/geometry-modes.md`.

Found by a sweep of all doc/*.md before the reviewer meeting.

039cc26e36 Phase 8b-Lite: pipe-operator chaining for named parameters
Some checks failed

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.

eb393537f3 docs: 5-document meeting prep — tutorials + research note + status + architecture
External-reviewer-visit prep package (Springborn-Bobenko PhD alumnus,
2026-05-26).  All five documents target the same audience: a
mathematician who wants to evaluate, extend, or contribute to
conformallab++.  Goal: make the project maximally hackable BEFORE the
meeting.  Code unchanged in this commit — pure documentation.

Files added
───────────

1. **doc/tutorials/block-fd-hessian.md** (460 lines)
   Step-by-step tutorial on the per-face block-FD Hessian pattern
   shipped in Phase 9b (96× speed-up).  Matches the style of
   add-inversive-distance.md.  Covers:
   * The per-face locality lemma (mathematical justification).
   * Cost analysis (full-FD vs block-FD vs analytic).
   * Implementation walkthrough through face_angles_from_local_dofs +
     hyper_ideal_hessian_block_fd.
   * Porting checklist for applying the same pattern to a new
     functional.
   * The four cross-validation criteria.
   * When NOT to use block-FD + upgrade path to Phase 9b-analytic.

2. **doc/tutorials/add-output-uv-map.md** (477 lines)
   Tutorial for the `output_uv_map` named-parameter pattern shipped in
   PR #14.  Covers:
   * The UX problem (two-step pipeline → one-call wrapper).
   * The CGAL named-parameter mechanism + how the entry functions
     wire it (get_parameter + constexpr if).
   * Step-by-step recipe for adding a new named parameter (worked
     example: hypothetical `output_holonomy_map`).
   * The five test patterns for verification.
   * Why CP-Euclidean (face-DOF) and Inversive-Distance (Luo-edge-length)
     do not yet support output_uv_map — what is needed to add them.

3. **doc/math/hyperideal-hessian-derivation.md** (805 lines)
   Research-quality LaTeX-formatted derivation of the analytic
   HyperIdeal Hessian via the Schläfli identity (Phase 9b-analytic
   preparation).  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).

Total: ~2 250 lines across five new docs.

4f0a3035e4 docs: full audit — fix 4 wrong port/research labels + consolidated research-track
Some checks failed
C++ Tests / test-fast (push) Successful in 2m50s
C++ Tests / test-fast (pull_request) Successful in 2m36s
API Docs / doc-build (pull_request) Successful in 1m10s
C++ Tests / test-cgal (push) Has been skipped
C++ Tests / test-cgal (pull_request) Failing after 10m25s
A full audit of `doc/` plus root-level markdown files (27 files) against
the actual ground truth in the C++ code and the local Java repository at
`/Users/tarikmoussa/Desktop/conformallab/` revealed four pre-existing
mis-labels and a stale test count.  All are corrected here.

Audit findings — corrected
─────────────────────────

1. **`InversiveDistanceFunctional` mis-labelled as Java port** (4 doc sites)
   Empirical verification:
       find /Users/tarikmoussa/Desktop/conformallab -iname "*nversive*"
       (zero matches)
   The class does NOT exist in `de.varylab.discreteconformal`.  The C++
   implementation is built from Luo 2004 + Glickenstein 2011 + Bowers-
   Stephenson 2004 — new research, not a port.
   Fixed in: java-parity.md, references.md, add-inversive-distance.md.

2. **HyperIdeal Hessian mis-labelled as "Java has analytic Hessian"**
   Empirical verification: `HyperIdealFunctional.java:295-298`:
       public boolean hasHessian() { return false; }
   Java has NO Hessian at all.  Both the FD (Phase 4a) and the block-FD
   (Phase 9b) Hessians in C++ are research beyond the Java port.  The
   chain rule (b,a) → ℓ → ζ → α/β is the *mathematical formulation*
   from Springborn 2020, not something Java implements.
   Fixed in: java-parity.md.

3. **Stale test count** README:87 said "28 suites, 170 tests" — current
   actual is 35 suites, 176 CGAL + 36 non-CGAL.  Fixed.

4. **Tutorial framing** — `add-inversive-distance.md` was framed as
   "porting an InversiveDistanceFunctional.java" that does not exist.
   Rewritten as "Implementing the Inversive-Distance functional from
   Luo 2004" with prominent verification block at top.

New document: `doc/roadmap/research-track.md`
─────────────────────────────────────────────

Consolidates everything in conformallab++ that goes beyond a Java port:

* Items already on `main`: HyperIdeal FD Hessian, period matrix τ
  partial-research components, Möbius holonomy storage.
* Items on open PRs: CP-Euclidean (PR #8, port), Inversive-Distance
  (PR #8, research), block-FD Hessian (PR #9, research).
* Planned research with full citations:
  - **Phase 9b-analytic** — full analytic HyperIdeal Hessian via
    Schläfli identity (Schläfli 1858/60) and chain rule through
    ζ₁₃/ζ₁₄/ζ₁₅, citing Springborn 2020 §4, Cho-Kim 1999,
    Glickenstein 2011 §4.  Includes acceptance-criteria checklist
    (per-case derivative cross-checks, gauge null space, PSD,
    measured ≥ 3× speed-up, LaTeX correctness note).
  - **Phase 9a.2-analytic** — analytic inversive-distance Hessian
    via Glickenstein 2011 eq. (4.6).
  - **Phase 10c** — full uniformization for genus g ≥ 2 (Fuchsian
    group representation) — fully new research, no Java reference.
  - **geometry-central** GC-1/2/3 exploratory track.

* Java backlog summary: 11 worth-porting Java classes identified by
  the parallel survey (FundamentalPolygonUtility, DiscreteHarmonicForm-
  Utility, DiscreteHolomorphicFormUtility, CanonicalBasisUtility,
  HyperbolicCyclicFunctional, QuasiisothermicUtility, KoebePolyhedron, …).
  ~6 500 Java lines, ~5 months of porting work, organised by phase.
