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

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.

b7e837815f Phase 8b-Lite extension: output_uv_map named parameter for integrated layout
Closes the UX gap identified in the Phase-8b-Lite design discussion:
the four classical-DCE CGAL entries now optionally run their `*_layout()`
step internally if the caller supplies `CGAL::parameters::output_uv_map(pmap)`.

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.

After this PR:

    auto uv = mesh.add_property_map<Vertex_index, K::Point_2>("uv", ...).first;
    CGAL::discrete_conformal_map_euclidean(
        mesh, CGAL::parameters::output_uv_map(uv));
    // ... uv now populated for every vertex.

Coverage
────────
* `discrete_conformal_map_euclidean`  — `Point_2` per vertex.
* `discrete_conformal_map_spherical`  — `Point_3` per vertex (on S²).
* `discrete_conformal_map_hyper_ideal` — `Point_2` per vertex (Poincaré disk).

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.  Total: 227 → 232.  This brings the doc back in sync
with `ctest` output and unblocks future `scripts/check-test-counts.sh`
runs.

7d10500811 Phase 8b-Lite: CGAL entries for all 5 DCE models + layout wrapper
Some checks failed
C++ Tests / test-fast (pull_request) Successful in 2m7s
C++ Tests / test-fast (push) Successful in 2m19s
C++ Tests / test-cgal (pull_request) Failing after 11m6s
C++ Tests / test-cgal (push) Has been skipped
API Docs / doc-build (pull_request) Successful in 41s
Completes the CGAL public API surface so all five discrete-conformal
functionals are reachable from <CGAL/Discrete_*.h>, not only Euclidean.

CGAL test count: 219 → 227 (+8).  Zero skips.

New public headers
──────────────────
* CGAL/Discrete_conformal_map.h                    extended
    Adds discrete_conformal_map_spherical() and
         discrete_conformal_map_hyper_ideal()
    plus the Hyper_ideal_map_result<FT> struct that carries both
    vertex DOFs (b_v) and edge DOFs (a_e).

* CGAL/Discrete_circle_packing.h                   new (180 lines)
    Face-based BPS-2010 circle packing.  Provides
         Default_cp_euclidean_traits<Mesh, K>
         Circle_packing_result<FT>
         discrete_circle_packing_euclidean()

* CGAL/Discrete_inversive_distance.h               new (180 lines)
    Vertex-based Luo-2004 packing.  Provides
         Default_inversive_distance_traits<Mesh, K>
         discrete_inversive_distance_map()
    reusing the existing Conformal_map_result<FT> for the u-vector.

* CGAL/Conformal_layout.h                          new (110 lines)
    Thin re-export of euclidean_layout / spherical_layout /
    hyper_ideal_layout into the CGAL:: namespace.

Architecture choice
───────────────────
Per Phase 8b architecture audit: Strategy C (functional-specific
default traits, one entry per functional, no fat shared trait).
Documented in each header's docblock.  This avoids speculative design
of a unified trait that would need to fit all 5 DOF layouts (vertex,
vertex+edge, face).

Conformal_map_traits.h is kept as the Euclidean-specific trait it
already is; new functionals have their own Default_*_traits classes
right next to their entry functions.

Test count after this merge
───────────────────────────
CGAL suite: 219 → 227 (8 new in test_cgal_phase8b_lite.cpp covering
all four new entries + the Euclidean+layout round-trip).

After-the-merge user contract
─────────────────────────────
A user can now write any of these and get a valid Newton-converged result:

  #include <CGAL/Discrete_conformal_map.h>
  auto r = CGAL::discrete_conformal_map_euclidean(mesh);
  auto r = CGAL::discrete_conformal_map_spherical(mesh);
  auto r = CGAL::discrete_conformal_map_hyper_ideal(mesh);

  #include <CGAL/Discrete_circle_packing.h>
  auto r = CGAL::discrete_circle_packing_euclidean(mesh);

  #include <CGAL/Discrete_inversive_distance.h>
  auto r = CGAL::discrete_inversive_distance_map(mesh);

  #include <CGAL/Conformal_layout.h>
  auto layout = CGAL::euclidean_layout(mesh, r.x, maps);

Not in this PR (intentionally deferred)
───────────────────────────────────────
* 8a.2 — Generic FaceGraph specialisation (still Surface_mesh-only).
* 8c   — User_manual + PackageDescription.txt (CGAL-submission prep).
* 8d   — CGAL-format test directory  (CGAL-submission prep).
* 8e   — YAML pipeline + CLI flag    (orthogonal).
* Named-parameter chaining (`a.b().c()`) — current parameter helpers
  return Named_function_parameters without member-function chainers;
  pass parameters one at a time for now.

140f50f707 fixup: deduce kernel from mesh point type instead of hard-coding it
Some checks failed
C++ Tests / test-fast (push) Successful in 2m33s
C++ Tests / test-fast (pull_request) Successful in 2m0s
C++ Tests / test-cgal (push) Has been skipped
C++ Tests / test-cgal (pull_request) Failing after 2m30s
Removes the only architectural lock-in spotted in the MVP audit before
Phase 9a starts: the wrapper hard-coded Simple_cartesian<double> as the
kernel inside discrete_conformal_map_euclidean.  This would have broken
any Surface_mesh<P> where P came from a different kernel (e.g. EPIC).

Change
──────
* CGAL::Kernel_traits<typename TriangleMesh::Point>::Kernel is now used
  to deduce the kernel from the mesh's point type.
* The full Default_traits<...> instantiation is wrapped in
  internal_np::Lookup_named_param_def so a future `geom_traits(...)`
  named parameter can override the entire traits class without changes
  to the wrapper body (CGAL idiom, used by every CGAL package).
* New test `KernelIsDeducedFromMeshPointType` pins the contract
  explicitly with static_asserts.

Why now
───────
Phase 9a (Inversive-Distance) will copy this same template pattern.
Fixing the kernel deduction once here keeps the design free for any
user kernel; doing it after 9a would mean two parallel hard-coded
kernel sites to refactor.

Tests

CGAL suite: 184/184 passed, 0 skipped  (was 183).

a1e74c1370 Phase 8a MVP: CGAL traits + Discrete_conformal_map.h Euclidean entry
Some checks failed
C++ Tests / test-fast (push) Successful in 2m42s
C++ Tests / test-fast (pull_request) Successful in 3m44s
C++ Tests / test-cgal (push) Has been skipped
C++ Tests / test-cgal (pull_request) Failing after 4m28s
First step of the Phase 8 Hybrid MVP. Adds a thin CGAL-conformant public
API layer over the existing implementation, validated by 7 acceptance
tests.  Total CGAL test count: 183 (was 176), 0 skipped.

New public headers
──────────────────
* code/include/CGAL/Conformal_map_traits.h
    - ConformalMapTraits concept documentation
    - Default_conformal_map_traits<Surface_mesh<P>, K> specialisation
    - Static property-map accessors: vertex_points, theta_map,
      vertex_index_map, lambda0_map

* code/include/CGAL/Discrete_conformal_map.h
    - User-facing entry: discrete_conformal_map_euclidean(mesh, np)
    - Conformal_map_result<FT> struct (u, iter, ‖G‖, converged flags)
    - Natural-theta default: x = 0 is the equilibrium when no Θ supplied
    - Honours user-provided Θ via vertex_curvature_map named parameter

* code/include/CGAL/Conformal_map/internal/parameters.h
    - 4 named-parameter tags in CGAL::Conformal_map::internal_np:
        vertex_curvature_map, gradient_tolerance,
        max_iterations,       fixed_vertex_map
    - User-facing helpers in CGAL::parameters::*

Tests (test_cgal_traits_mvp.cpp, 7 cases)
─────────────────────────────────────────
* DefaultTraitsTypes:       compile-time type sanity (static_assert)
* AccessorsReuseExistingMaps: traits accessors return identical pmaps
* SingleTriangleConverges,
  QuadStripConverges:       end-to-end Euclidean wrapper passes
* MaxIterationsTakesEffect: named parameter is read
* GradientToleranceTakesEffect: tolerance override changes Newton end-state
* WrapperMatchesLegacyAPI:  cross-API result equality at 1e-10

Architecture
────────────
3-layer wrapper as designed (doc/api/cgal-package.md):
  Layer 1: code/include/*.hpp           (existing algorithms, unchanged)
  Layer 2: CGAL/Conformal_map/internal/ (adapter, parameter tags)
  Layer 3: CGAL/Conformal_map_traits.h, CGAL/Discrete_conformal_map.h
                                         (user-facing)

No algorithm duplication.  Existing 176 + 36 tests untouched.

Next: Phase 9a (Inversive-Distance) as the second client of this API —
the real acceptance test for the trait design.
