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).

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.
Quick links the reviewer should bookmark
- 🌐 Reviewer-hub landing page: https://tmoussa.codeberg.page/ConformalLabpp/ (the hub shows status badges, a "what's new" banner with the most recent delta, the research-alignment table, and direct links into every document below)
