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)

Wires the two Phase-9a functionals into the Newton-solver layer so
they are operational end-to-end. CGAL test count: 212 → 219 (+7).
Solvers
───────
* newton_cp_euclidean(mesh, x0, m, tol, max_iter)
- Uses cp_euclidean_hessian — analytic 2×2-per-edge BPS-2010
formula h_jk = sin θ / (cosh Δρ − cos θ).
- SparseQR fallback handles the gauge-singular case when no face
is pinned (caller error, but we recover gracefully).
- Strictly-convex energy ⇒ quadratic convergence near optimum.
* newton_inversive_distance(mesh, x0, m, tol, max_iter, hess_eps)
- Uses an inline FD Hessian (n × gradient evaluations per step) —
mirrors the Phase 4a HyperIdeal solver in spirit.
- Analytic alternative via Glickenstein 2011 eq. (4.6) is tracked
in doc/roadmap/research-track.md as Phase 9a.2-analytic.
- Sensitive to initial point; the test suite always starts from
a natural-theta setup (u = 0 is the equilibrium when
compute_inversive_distance_init_from_mesh was called).
Tests (test_newton_phase9a.cpp, 7 cases)
────────────────────────────────────────
* CPEuclidean_NaturalPhi_ClosedTetrahedron_ConvergesInZeroIterations
* CPEuclidean_PerturbedStart_ConvergesBackToEquilibrium
* CPEuclidean_OpenTetrahedron_NaturalPhi_Converges
* InversiveDistance_NaturalTheta_Triangle_ConvergesInZero
* InversiveDistance_PerturbedQuadStrip_Converges
* InversiveDistance_PerturbedTetrahedron_Converges
* CPEuclidean_UsesAnalyticHessian
Regression guard: 3-DOF problem converges in ≤ 10 iterations even
with strong perturbation, confirming the analytic Hessian path is
actually used.
All seven tests pass. Full CGAL suite: 219/219 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED.
Roadmap additions (`doc/roadmap/phases.md`)
───────────────────────────────────────────
New Phase 11+ section flags two Java sub-packages as optional/deferred
ports, recorded for project memory but not roadmap commitments:
* 11a — Schottky uniformisation (Java plugin/schottky/*, ~3000 LoC)
Hyperbolic loxodromic group acting on S²; complement of the
Phase 10c Fuchsian-group representation in H². Requires
Phase 10b period matrix + Möbius-group machinery from Phase 7.
Effort: very large (4-6 weeks).
* 11b — Riemann maps (Java plugin/riemannmap/*, ~1500 LoC)
Discrete Riemann mapping theorem; texture mapping of bounded
planar regions, classical conformal mapping for engineering.
Requires Phase 10b' quasi-isothermic or Phase 9a.1 CP-Euclidean.
Effort: large (3-4 weeks).
Both are explicitly NOT roadmap commitments — they live in the doc so
they aren't re-discovered.

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.
Updated documents
─────────────────
* CLAUDE.md
- New "Port-vs-research maintenance rule" with empirical verification
command and the four corrected mis-labels.
- Doc map: 23 → 24 documents (research-track.md added).
* README.md
- Test count corrected (170 → 176+36).
* doc/math/references.md

- New entries for Bowers-Stephenson 2004, Glickenstein 2011,
Bobenko-Pinkall-Springborn 2010, Schläfli 1858/60.
* doc/roadmap/phases.md
- Phase 9 reorganised: 9a split into 9a.1 (port) / 9a.2 (research),
9b clarified as research (Java has no Hessian), 9c expanded with
Java line counts and effort estimates.
- Phase 10 reorganised: 10a/10b/10c with their Java prerequisites
explicitly listed; 10c flagged as "fully new research".
- Phase 10b' added: parallel research track (hyperbolic functional,
quasi-isothermic, Möbius centering).
- Phase 10c' added: optional Java-port additions (Koebe, circle
patterns, electrostatic sphere).
* doc/roadmap/java-parity.md
- Inversive-distance row: ❌ Java, ❌ C++ (Phase 9a.2) — new research.
- CP-Euclidean row added: ✅ Java, ❌ C++ (Phase 9a.1) — port.
- HyperIdeal Hessian row: ❌ Java, ⚠️ FD + block-FD in C++.
- Worth-porting table replaced with the survey results (12 classes,
Java line counts, suggested phases).
- "HyperIdeal Hessian: FD vs analytic" section rewritten with the
correction notice.
* doc/tutorials/add-inversive-distance.md
- Rewritten end-to-end with prominent verification block at top.
- Now correctly framed as "Implementing the Inversive-Distance
functional from Luo 2004" — research, not port.
- Includes the four required cross-validations:
limit cases, Bowers-Stephenson round-trip, FD-vs-analytic,
cross-validation against euclidean_functional at u=0.
- New "How to know if it's a port or research" closing section
with the empirical verification command.

Re-evaluated cost/benefit of Phase 8 vs Phase 9 after distinguishing three
concurrent goals:
• Goal A (Port): ~90% done, ~3 weeks remaining
• Goal B (CGAL): speculative, 12+ months, uncertain submission
• Goal C (Tool): research utility with novel features
Phase 8 full (3–4 weeks) would mostly serve Goal C plus optional Goal B.
Phase 9 (3 weeks) finishes Goal A unconditionally. Building Phase 8 in
full before Phase 9 risks 3-4 weeks of speculative architecture for a
hypothetical CGAL submission.
New strategy: Hybrid MVP.
Phase 8 MVP (3–5 days):
Conformal_map_traits.h concept + Default<Surface_mesh,K>
Discrete_conformal_map.h ONE entry: _euclidean()
4 named parameters Theta-map, max_iter, tol, pin
Concept-check header + Doxygen
Phase 9a (3–5 days): Inversive-Distance vs MVP API = acceptance test
Phase 9b + 9c (~2 weeks): Port truly complete
Phase 8 extensions: Only on concrete trigger
8a.2 generic FaceGraph trigger: Polyhedron_3 user
8c full doc trigger: submission planned
8d CGAL-format tests trigger: submission planned
8e YAML pipeline orthogonal, any time
Net committed budget: ~4 weeks for "port complete + CGAL MVP",
not 6–8 weeks for full Phase 8 + Phase 9.
