Two additions that close out the reviewer-prep work cleanly:

1. doc/reviewer/hub.html  +  publish-workflow integration
   ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   Move the hand-curated reviewer hub from the codeberg `pages`
   branch (where it lived as an opaque snapshot) into the repo as
   `doc/reviewer/hub.html`.  `.gitea/workflows/doxygen-pages.yml`
   gains a conditional `if [ -f doc/reviewer/hub.html ]; then …`
   step that installs it as the publish `index.html` and demotes
   the auto-generated Doxygen index to `/doxygen.html`.

   Effect: merging any of the open PRs into main will trigger the
   workflow, which republishes BOTH the Doxygen + the reviewer hub
   together.  The reviewer URL stays live across merges with zero
   manual intervention.

   Source-controlled benefits:
     * hub edits go through normal PRs, not orphan-branch
       force-pushes
     * old hub versions live in git history
     * the in-repo links now target `branch/main/…` instead of the
       transient `preview/reviewer-snapshot-vN/…` paths

2. .gitea/workflows/perf-compile-time.yml — Linux CI bench
   ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   New workflow runs on every push to main that touches the build
   system or public headers.  Five-step matrix measures and reports:
     Run 1   cold baseline (no PCH, no Unity, no ccache)
     Run 2   + PCH only
     Run 3   + PCH + Unity (current default)
     Run 4   + FAST_TEST_BUILD=ON  (-O0 -g — Linux's expected ~40 % win)
     Run 5   + ccache warm rerun   (expected ≥ 90 % cache hit)

   Validates the Apple-M1 predictions in doc/architecture/compile-time.md
   against the Linux + g++ runner where Backend dominates more and
   the Apple-clang+PCH friction that defeats ccache locally does not
   apply.  Job is data-collection only; never blocks a merge.

doc updates:
  * doc/architecture/compile-time.md — new "Cross-platform perf bench"
    section linking to the workflow + the table of macOS-vs-Linux
    expected deltas.
  * doc/reviewer/README.md — new "Hub-Page durability" subsection
    explaining how the hub survives merges.

bc40a13e8d perf: architecture-touch quick-wins #6 + #10; skip #5 + #7 with honest notes
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.

9ea7d15aa0 perf: add 4 workflow modes (BUILD_TESTING / DEV_BUILD / HEADERS_CHECK / ccache)
Four orthogonal opt-in build modes on top of the existing PCH + Unity
defaults.  Each addresses a specific iteration scenario; defaults are
unchanged (PCH + Unity stays the canonical fast full-rebuild path).

(A) HEADERS_CHECK target — opt-in via -DCONFORMALLAB_HEADERS_CHECK=ON
    Per-public-header smoke-compile sentinels.  For each of the six
    public CGAL umbrella headers, a stub TU `#include <…>\nint main(){}`
    is generated at configure time and compiled in isolation.
      * Full headers_check build:  ≈ 12 s
      * Incremental after touching one header:  ≈ 0.1 s
    Use case: "did my refactor still parse the public API?" without
    waiting 55 s for the full CGAL test build.

(C) DEV_BUILD mode — opt-in via -DCONFORMALLAB_DEV_BUILD=ON
    PCH stays on; Unity Build is forced off (both globally AND on the
    cgal-tests target which previously overrode the global setting).
    Trade-off: full clean rebuild ~75 s (+36 % vs the 55 s default)
    but incremental rebuild after editing a single test file drops
    from ~46 s (unity batch) to ~16 s (single TU + relink).
    Flip on for trial-and-error sessions, flip off before measuring
    CI build time or shipping a PR.

(D) ccache integration — default ON, disable with -DCONFORMALLAB_USE_CCACHE=OFF
    Detects `ccache` on PATH and prepends it to compile + link
    launchers.  On Apple clang + PCH + Unity the macOS-local hit
    rate is currently 0 % (3 separate friction points documented
    in doc/architecture/compile-time.md § "ccache — honesty notes");
    stays neutral when it doesn't help.  Real payoff on Linux CI
    (g++ + traditional PCH) where 80 %+ hit rates are typical.

(BUILD_TESTING=OFF) Standard CMake gate, now respected end-to-end.
    Wrapped both `add_subdirectory(tests)` AND the FetchContent of
    GoogleTest in `if(BUILD_TESTING)`.  Pass `-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF`:
      * Configure ≈ 1 s
      * Build ≈ 0 s
      * 0 object files
      * No GTest fetch
    Use case: IDE-syntax-check workflow that needs
    `compile_commands.json` but does NOT need to download GTest
    or build any test binary.

doc/architecture/compile-time.md gains:
  * a "Workflow modes — what to choose when" section with a 4-row
    switch matrix and a "mode matrix at a glance" comparison table
  * a ccache honesty-notes block listing the three macOS friction
    points (PCH artefact caching, Unity Build path randomisation,
    CMake launcher integration) — Linux CI is where the lever pays
    off

Verified: default build 53 s wall, 236/236 tests pass; all opt-in
modes tested end-to-end with their expected workflow numbers
documented in the doc.

5fbc4bcc7f ci+perf: PCH + Unity Build cut CGAL test build wall-time 30% (78s -> 55s)
Two structural compile-time optimisations on the conformallab_cgal_tests
target, both opt-out-able and verified safe (236/236 tests pass under
every configuration).

(1) Precompiled headers — option CONFORMALLAB_USE_PCH (default ON)
    target_precompile_headers(conformallab_cgal_tests PRIVATE
        <CGAL/Surface_mesh.h>
        <CGAL/Simple_cartesian.h>
        <CGAL/Kernel_traits.h>
        <CGAL/boost/graph/iterator.h>
        <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/triangulate_faces.h>
        <Eigen/Dense> <Eigen/Sparse> <Eigen/SparseCholesky> <Eigen/SparseQR>
        <gtest/gtest.h>
        <vector> <string> <cmath> <complex>
    )
    Absorbs the per-TU CGAL+Eigen template-parse cost (measured at 5.9 s
    per minimal "include <CGAL/Discrete_conformal_map.h>" hello-world TU
    on Apple M1).

(2) Unity Build — UNITY_BUILD ON with UNITY_BUILD_BATCH_SIZE 4
    Concatenates the 22 test TUs into 5 batches of <=4 files each;
    CGAL+Eigen headers parsed once per batch instead of once per TU.
    Batch size 4 keeps gtest's TEST(...) macros and per-file
    `using namespace ...` from colliding across batched files.

Numbers (Apple M1, Ninja, -j8, clean rebuild)
─────────────────────────────────────────────
              wall    CPU    tests
baseline      78 s    676 s  236/236
+ PCH         66 s    474 s  236/236   (-15% wall, -30% CPU)
+ PCH + Unity 55 s    167 s  236/236   (-30% wall, -75% CPU)

Honest deferred items (documented in doc/architecture/compile-time.md):
  * `extern template` (lever #2 in the analysis) — subsumed by PCH;
    estimated residual gain <5%, would add Eigen-version fragility.
  * Header split <CGAL/Discrete_conformal_map_{euclidean,spherical,
    hyper_ideal}.h> (lever #3) — downstream-only benefit (our test
    build needs all three); kept as a future cleanup once a downstream
    user actually requests it.

Opt-outs: `-DCONFORMALLAB_USE_PCH=OFF` and `-DCMAKE_UNITY_BUILD=OFF`.

Detailed measurement methodology, per-TU breakdowns, clang
-ftime-trace template hot-spots, and a "what comes next" lever list
live in doc/architecture/compile-time.md.

0c520046fb docs(reviewer): baustein D — close Java-scan + lit-integration gaps
Earlier baustein B (`07c653c`) added a 6-row Research-Alignments table
+ a "what's new" banner, but only surfaced ~75 % of what the four
Java-scan + literature-integration commits (`f854f0e`, `979f30c`,
`e8a118f`, `8daee1b`) had introduced.  This commit closes the gaps
identified in the lückenprüfung:

Research-Alignments table grows from 6 → 10 rows
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
* +quasi-isothermic maps  (Phase 10e, Java port — 6 classes incl.
  discrete Beltrami-field solver, Lawson correspondence ~800 lines)
* +higher-genus + hyperelliptic surfaces (Phase 10b — `HyperellipticUtility`
  + Bobenko–Bücking 2009)
* +Möbius centring as variational problem (Phase 9d.4 — replaces the
  iterative Fréchet-mean fallback in `normalise_hyperbolic()`)
* +Boundary-First / interactive flattening row (Crane 2017 BFF; Stripe
  Patterns 2015) — listed for comparison even though it is not on the
  porting roadmap, so the reader sees we know about it
* table caption clarifies that some rows are RESEARCH-only (no Java
  parent) and some are planned ports

"What's new" banner
───────────────────
* citation count corrected from "+9" to "+13" — the four Tier-2 papers
  added in commit `e8a118f` (Springborn 2019, Springborn–Veselov 2015,
  Crane 2017 BFF, Bonneel et al. 2015 Stripe Patterns) are now named
* phase count of "+6 phases" kept, but +Phase 9d.4 (Möbius centring)
  and +Phase 10e (quasi-isothermic) are now called out explicitly so
  the reader knows what is in the count
* cross-link to `java-parity.md` for the reverse table (every Java
  class → C++ destination or *do-not-port* rationale)

questions.md / Q1
─────────────────
* expand the table from 3 to 6 candidate phases — adding 10e (quasi-
  isothermic), 10b (hyperelliptic), and 9d.4 (Möbius centring) as
  options alongside the existing 9d.2 / 9f / 10c+10c′
* track column distinguishes RESEARCH-only from planned-port
* +Question C — "is there a seventh line we are missing?" — invites
  the reader to flag a research thread we have not scoped yet

Pages hub will be refreshed to v5 in a follow-up step (separate from
the in-repo commit, lives only on the codeberg `pages` branch).

9be11eca4e docs(reviewer): refresh hub link list — add roadmap, research-track, references
Updates the "Quick links the reviewer should bookmark" section of
doc/reviewer/README.md so it matches the Pages-hub v4 layout:

  * the hub itself now carries status badges, a "what's new" banner,
    and the research-alignment table — call this out so the reader
    knows what to expect when they click through;
  * adds direct links to the three documents that the new Q1/Q2/Q3
    questions actually depend on (references.md, phases.md,
    research-track.md) — previously only the Schläfli-derivation note
    and the locked-vs-flexible architecture page were linked;
  * re-points the Schläfli derivation link from "Q2" (old numbering)
    to "Q3" (new numbering after baustein B inserted research
    questions at Q1/Q2).

Companion change to the Pages-hub v4 already pushed to the codeberg
`pages` branch; this commit keeps the in-repo guidance in sync.

36596c7c79 docs(reviewer): research alignments + 2 new Q1/Q2 + reordered agenda
Adds the two research-track questions to the front of the queue, where
they belong for a reader whose publication line maps directly onto our
research-track roadmap entries.

briefing.md gains two new sections:

  * Research alignments — a 6-row table mapping the reader's research
    threads (decorated DCE, canonical tessellations, hyperideal
    rigidity, optimal cone placement, polygon Laplacian, Schläfli
    machinery) onto concrete phases of the roadmap, with the closest
    published line cited generically (year + venue only).

  * What's new on this snapshot — the 6 new porting phases + 9 new
    citations + Phase 9f (RESEARCH, no Java parent) + output_uv_map
    extension to Inversive-Distance.

questions.md restructures the question set from 5 to 7:

  * Q1 (NEW) — research-track alignment: which of 9d.2 / 9f / 10c /
    10c′ would unblock concrete experiments?
  * Q2 (NEW) — decorated-DCE API surface: A/B/C named parameter vs
    new solver vs property-map auto-detect?
  * Q3 — Phase 9b-analytic (was Q2)
  * Q4 — Phase 9c port-literal vs re-derive (was Q1)
  * Q5 — GC-1 cross-validation co-authorship (was Q5)
  * Q6 — CGAL submission packaging (was Q4)
  * Q7 — The "no" question (was the trailing section)

  Also drops Q3 from the previous list (CP-Euclidean output_uv_map),
  since that question is now answered (Phase 9c, runtime error today,
  on the deferred list — no reviewer input needed).

  Adds a final "After the meeting — would you collaborate?" block so
  the post-meeting collaboration options (acknowledgement / co-author /
  cadence / PRs) do not surprise the reader on the day.

agenda.md reorders §2 to match the new question order; the timing
shifts Q1/Q2/Q3 (research) to the front and Q4/Q6 (project
management) to the back.  Memo template at the bottom now has 7
named answer slots instead of 5 numbered ones.

72503a3518 docs(reviewer): anonymise reviewer references; profile-based framing
Replaces the "Springborn / Bobenko alumnus" placeholder in the reviewer
materials (briefing, questions, agenda, README) and in
locked-vs-flexible.md with a research-profile description:

  active researcher in the decorated-DCE / Penner-coordinates /
  canonical-tessellations / hyperideal-polyhedra line, treated as a
  peer most likely to USE conformallab++ as numerical infrastructure
  for their own future experiments — not merely to evaluate it.

Citations to the published literature (Springborn 2020 paper, etc.)
remain untouched.  Only personal references to the prospective
reviewer were anonymised.

f93292e815 docs: fix cherry-pick duplicate 9d/9e sections — merge into unified structure
Auto-merge from cherry-pick concatenated both branch versions of Phase 9d
and 9e. This commit resolves the duplication:

- 9d now has 4 sub-items (9d.1–9d.4) combining both branches:
    9d.1  ConesUtility (detailed: BFS, auto-placement, quantization)
          + Troyanov/Springborn refs (from literature analysis)
    9d.2  Non-Euclidean cone extensions (RESEARCH)
          + Bobenko-Lutz 2025 + Crane 2018 (from literature analysis)
    9d.3  StereographicUnwrapper + SphereUtility
    9d.4  MobiusCenteringFunctional
- 9e keeps the detailed reviewer/meeting-prep version
  + adds mathematical references (Bobenko-Hoffmann-Springborn 2006)
- 9f (Polygon Laplacian, Alexa 2011/2020) retained as standalone section

f25174ed69 feat: output_uv_map for InversiveDistance, error for CP-Euclidean, reviewer trio
Three reviewer-meeting deliverables in one commit.

(1) output_uv_map for the two remaining DCE entries
    ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
    * Discrete_inversive_distance.h: full implementation.  After Newton,
      reconstruct effective Euclidean edge lengths from the converged
      log-radii via the Bowers-Stephenson identity
      `ℓᵢⱼ² = rᵢ² + rⱼ² + 2·Iᵢⱼ·rᵢ·rⱼ`, populate a temporary
      EuclideanMaps with `lambda0 = log(ℓᵢⱼ²)`, and reuse the existing
      `euclidean_layout(mesh, 0, eucl)` priority-BFS.  Per-vertex
      Point_2 coordinates written into the user-supplied pmap.
      Optional `normalise_layout(true)` applies the canonical PCA
      centroid + major-axis rotation, same as the other 3 entries.

    * Discrete_circle_packing.h: throws std::runtime_error with a
      clear pointer to Phase 9c rather than silently producing
      nonsense.  CP-Euclidean is face-based; the faithful output is a
      per-face circle packing in ℝ², not a per-vertex Point_2 map.
      A true layout requires BPS-2010 §6 (~150 lines, on the porting
      roadmap as Phase 9c).  Failing loudly is the honest default.

    Tests: 2 new cases in test_cgal_phase8b_lite.cpp
    (OutputUvMap_InversiveDistance_PopulatesPmap;
    OutputUvMap_CPEuclidean_ThrowsClearly).  Both green.
    Suite total now 259 (was 257, +2).  CGAL subtotal: 234 → 236.

(2) Reviewer meeting documents
    ──────────────────────────
    New directory doc/reviewer/ with three files:

    * briefing.md  — one-page orientation for the reviewer.
      What the project is, where to look first
      (https://tmoussa.codeberg.page/ConformalLabpp/), the headline
      evidence (tests/coverage/sanitizers/license), what we want from
      them, what's deferred and why, and the 5 questions in a separate
      file.

    * questions.md — the 5 concrete decisions we want their second
      opinion on:
        Q1 Phase 9c (port-literal vs re-derive)
        Q2 Phase 9b-analytic (worth ~2 weeks for ~6× speedup?)
        Q3 CP-Euclidean output_uv_map (build now or defer?)
        Q4 CGAL submission strategy (one package or five?)
        Q5 geometry-central cross-validation co-authorship
      Plus an explicit "what would you say no to?" question at the
      bottom — negative feedback is the highest-value information.

    * agenda.md   — my own internal playbook (NOT to be sent).
      60-min flow: 5-min thank-you, 10-min architecture tour,
      30-min for Q1-Q5 in the order Q4-Q1-Q2-Q5-Q3, 5-min "no"
      question, 5-min wrap-up.  Includes post-meeting memo template
      to fill out in the 30 min after.

    * README.md    — index for the directory; says which file goes
      to whom and when to send.

(3) locked-vs-flexible.md known-limitations update
    ─────────────────────────────────────────────
    "output_uv_map covers 3 of 5 entries" → "covers 4 of 5".
    CP-Euclidean's throws-clearly behaviour documented as a Phase 9c
    deliverable rather than a passive gap.

Bonus: extended .codespellrc ignore list (acknowledgement, the
British-English spelling I used in agenda.md).

32253a8f5e ci+licenses: promote 4 trivial gates to required CI + THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.md
Two reviewer-facing additions consolidated into one commit:

(1) New `quality-gates` job in .gitea/workflows/cpp-tests.yml
    ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    Runs in parallel with test-cgal after test-fast.  Installs
    `codespell` + `shellcheck` (apt) into the existing ci-cpp container,
    then executes four scripts strictly (exit 1 on any finding):
      * license-headers.sh   — 66/66 files carry SPDX MIT
      * cgal-conventions.py  — 0 violations across 6 CGAL public headers
      * codespell.sh         — 0 typos across docs + source + scripts
      * shellcheck.sh        — 0 findings across 16 shell scripts

    Each ran at 0 findings locally before promotion.  Total wall-time
    on the eulernest runner: ~30 s.

(2) New code/deps/THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.md
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    Enumerates every vendored dep under code/deps/, plus auto-fetched
    GoogleTest, plus system-required Boost, with:
      * upstream project + version + SPDX identifier
      * compatibility note for MIT distribution
      * downstream-packager license matrix (header-only consumer vs
        CLI binary) clarifying the LGPL §3 vs §4 distinction

    Required for any future Linux-distribution packaging and for the
    CGAL submission's compliance check.

    Also fixes a `code/.gitignore` gap: the `deps/*` wildcard was
    catching the new file; added `!deps/THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.md` to
    the exclusion list so it's actually tracked.
