Build-verified attempt to port the Java EuclideanCyclicConvergenceTest (cathead, "circular hole edge" φ = π−0.1). - ✅ GREEN `CyclicCircularEdge_PhiEntersGradient_CatHead`: solver-free cross-validation that the circular-edge φ target enters the cyclic edge gradient exactly (ΔG_e = −Δφ_e at 1e-12; no other component moves). - ⏸️ DISABLED `CyclicCircularEdge_CatHead_JavaXVal`: the full Java convergence assertion (α_opp+α_opp = π−0.1), kept with golden semantics. Auto-activates once the edge-DOF Hessian lands. Build-verification finding: `newton_euclidean` -> `euclidean_hessian` throws "edge DOFs are not supported" — the cyclic full solve is blocked by a missing edge-DOF Euclidean Hessian (gradient supports edge DOFs, analytic Hessian does not). Spherical convergence (Tier-1 #2) is already covered by test_newton_solver. Documented in doc/reviewer/java-ignore-crossvalidation.md. All 13 EuclideanFunctional tests pass (1 disabled).

Reviewer meeting materials
A single landing page for the three documents associated with an external-reviewer meeting. The materials are written for a peer who actively publishes in discrete differential geometry — specifically the decorated-DCE / Penner-coordinates / hyperideal-polyhedra / canonical-tessellations research line — and who would potentially use conformallab++ as numerical infrastructure for their own future experiments.
| Document | Audience | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
briefing.md |
the reviewer | one-page orientation: what the project is, where to look first, what we want from them |
questions.md |
the reviewer | the 5 concrete decisions we want their opinion on (skim before the meeting) |
agenda.md |
me | my own meeting playbook: timing, order, the "no" question, post-meeting memo template |
After the meeting, a fourth file 2026-XX-XX-meeting-notes.md should
land here too — the memo template at the bottom of agenda.md is the
suggested structure.
When to send to the reviewer
- briefing.md + questions.md: as part of the meeting-confirmation email, ~5 business days before the meeting. Subject line: "Pre-read for our conformallab++ chat (~15 min)".
- agenda.md: never send. This is internal scaffolding.
Hub-Page durability
The reviewer hub HTML at https://tmoussa.codeberg.page/ConformalLabpp/
is published from doc/reviewer/hub.html in the repo (not from a
detached preview branch). This means:
- Merging any of the open PRs into
maintriggers.gitea/workflows/doxygen-pages.ymlwhich republishes the hub alongside fresh Doxygen HTML — the reviewer URL stays live across merges with no manual intervention. - The hub is source-controlled, so changes are reviewable via PR like any other doc, and old versions live in git history.
- The original Doxygen index moves to
/doxygen.htmlwhenever the hub override is active; both are reachable from the hub itself.
