Tarik Moussa 3f124eb071 feat(phase4): HyperIdeal Newton solver, SparseQR fallback, examples, docs
Phase 4 complete — 87 CGAL tests pass, 2 skipped.

Newton solver (phase4a):
- hyper_ideal_hessian.hpp: symmetric FD Hessian (O(ε²), PSD by convexity)
- newton_hyper_ideal(): Newton + backtracking for the HyperIdeal functional
- detail::solve_with_fallback(): optional bool* fallback_used parameter
- solve_linear_system(): public API exposing LDLT→SparseQR fallback

SparseQR fallback tests (SparseQRFallback.*):
- FullRankSystem_CorrectSolution: LDLT path, fallback_used=false
- SingularMatrix_FallbackActivated: zero-pivot → QR activated, fallback_used=true
- Euclidean_ClosedMeshNoPinConverges: gauge-mode null space handled via QR

HyperIdeal Newton tests (NewtonSolver.HyperIdeal_*):
- ConvergesTriangleAllVariable, ResultFieldsConsistent,
  ConvergesTetrahedron, SparseQRFallbackNoCrash
- Natural-target base point (b=1.0, a=0.5) — x=0 is degenerate in log-space

Pipeline tests (test_pipeline.cpp):
- End-to-end: all three geometries, mesh I/O round-trip, solve+export

Example programs (code/examples/):
- example_euclidean.cpp:   headless Euclidean pipeline
- example_hyper_ideal.cpp: headless HyperIdeal pipeline
- example_viewer.cpp:      interactive libigl viewer with jet colour map

README:
- Mathematical scope table: C++ vs Java original (18 rows)
- "For mathematicians" section: mental model, step-by-step new-functional
  guide, half-edge traversal snippets, recommended reading

//
// Phase 4 — Newton solver tests.
//
// Design principle:
// We test convergence to a KNOWN equilibrium. For the spherical tetrahedron
// x* = 0 is built-in (G(0) ≈ 0 by construction). For Euclidean meshes we
// use "natural theta": set theta_v[v] = actual angle sum at x=0, which makes
// x* = 0 the exact equilibrium by definition.
// For HyperIdeal we use the same "natural target" trick at a valid base point
// (b=1.0, a=0.5), since x=0 is degenerate for the HyperIdeal functional.
//
// Tests:
// Spherical:
// 1. Converges from x=[-0.2,...] to x*=0 (spherical tetrahedron).
// 2. Converges in few iterations (quadratic convergence near equilibrium).
// 3. Converges from a large perturbation x=[-0.5,...].
// 4. Result fields (x.size, grad_inf_norm) are self-consistent.
//
// Euclidean:
// 5. Converges (triangle, 1 pinned vertex, natural theta).
// 6. Converges (quad strip, 1 pinned vertex, natural theta).
// 7. Converges with explicitly chosen mixed pinned/variable layout.
//
// HyperIdeal:
// 8. Converges on triangle (all variable, natural targets).
// 9. Result fields self-consistent.
// 10. Converges on tetrahedron (10 DOFs, larger mesh).
// 11. SparseQR: result consistent (valid starting region).
//
// SparseQR fallback (direct unit tests):
// 12. solve_linear_system recovers correct solution on rank-deficient matrix.
// 13. solve_linear_system sets fallback_used=true on a singular matrix.
// 14. Euclidean Newton on closed tetrahedron (no pinned vertex) converges
// via SparseQR gauge-mode handling.
