docs: geometry-central Vergleich als optionalen Track einarbeiten
- phases.md: neue Sektion "Optional/Hypothetisch — geometry-central
  Cross-Comparison" mit GC-1 (Output-Vergleich, sofort möglich),
  GC-2 (Intrinsic Delaunay Pre-Conditioning, nach Phase 8) und
  GC-3 (Ptolemäischer Flip-Solver, hypothetisch Phase 10+)
- validation.md: neuer Abschnitt 9 mit Vergleichstabelle, Normalisierungs-
  abgleich, Zeitplan und Springborn-2020-Einordnung
- references.md: Gillespie–Springborn–Crane SIGGRAPH 2021 + Sharp 2019
  als geometry-central-Referenzen eingetragen; Klarstellung zu Springborn 2020
- validation.md: Testzähler 170→173 / 11 skips→1 skip korrigiert

| **Gillespie, Springborn, Crane***Discrete Conformal Equivalence of Polyhedral Surfaces*, ACM SIGGRAPH 2021. DOI: [10.1145/3450626.3459763](https://doi.org/10.1145/3450626.3459763) | Implementiert in **geometry-central**. Erweitert Springborn 2020 um intrinsische Triangulierungen und Ptolemäische Flips. Löst dasselbe DCE-Problem wie conformallab++, aber mit anderem Algorithmus. |
| **Sharp, Soliman, Crane***Navigating Intrinsic Triangulations*, ACM SIGGRAPH 2019 | Algorithmische Grundlage für `SignpostIntrinsicTriangulation` in geometry-central — relevant für GC-2 (optionales Pre-Conditioning). |
**Hinweis zu Springborn 2020:**
Das Papier *"Ideal Hyperbolic Polyhedra and Discrete Uniformization"*
(Springborn, Discrete & Computational Geometry 2020) ist **in conformallab++
bereits implementiert** — es ist die direkte Referenz für den HyperIdeal-Geometriemodus
(`hyper_ideal_geometry.hpp`). Die geometry-central Implementierung (Gillespie 2021)
baut auf diesem Papier auf und ergänzt es um Ptolemäische Flips.
