Tarik Moussa 46c0b63de8 fix(gauss-bonnet): delete HyperIdeal overloads — wrong identity for hyperbolic metrics
Finding-B from doc/reviewer/external-audit-2026-05-30.md.

The Euclidean Gauss–Bonnet identity Σ(2π−Θ_v) = 2π·χ is ONLY valid for
flat/Euclidean and spherical metrics.  For hyperbolic metrics (HyperIdeal)
the correct identity is Σ(2π−Θ_v) − Area(M) = 2π·χ.  The previously
provided gauss_bonnet_sum(HyperIdealMaps) overload would silently pass the
wrong LHS to check_gauss_bonnet, which would always throw "deficit = ±Area"
for valid hyperbolic targets.

Fix:
- gauss_bonnet_sum(mesh, HyperIdealMaps)        → = delete + explanation comment
- enforce_gauss_bonnet(mesh, HyperIdealMaps&)   → = delete + explanation comment
- Header box comment rewritten with the correct hyperbolic Gauss–Bonnet
  identity and a clear "HyperIdeal: NOT SUPPORTED" section

New test in test_phase6.cpp:
- HyperIdeal_EuclideanSumDiscrepancy_DocumentsWhyCheckIsDeleted
  verifies numerically that the Euclidean sum = 0 but 2π·χ = 4π for a
  regular tetrahedron, documenting the −4π discrepancy that motivated
  the deletion
- Three compile-time static_asserts (SFINAE) confirm the overload is not
  invocable with HyperIdealMaps but remains so with Euclidean/SphericalMaps

263/263 CGAL tests pass, 0 failed.
