// Converts a hyperbolic circle (center + radius in the hyperboloid model)
// to its Euclidean representation (cx, cy, r) in the Poincaré disk model.
//
// Mathematical background
// -----------------------
// Hyperboloid model: points (x,y,z,w) with w²-x²-y²-z²=1, w>0.
// Metric signature: g = diag(+1,+1,+1,−1)  (spatial-first, time-last).
//
// Hyperbolic translation from the origin e₄=(0,0,0,1) to p=(a,b,c,d):
//   T = [ I₃ + p'·p'ᵀ/(d+1)   p' ]      p' = (a,b,c)
//       [        p'ᵀ            d  ]
// This is the standard Lorentz boost; it is in O(3,1) and maps e₄ → p.
//
// Poincaré disk projection (jReality convention):
//   (x,y,z,w)  →  (x,y) / (w+1)
//
// The three reference points on the unit hyperbolic circle (at origin) are
//   p1 = (sinh r, 0, 0, cosh r)
//   p2 = (0, sinh r, 0, cosh r)
//   p3 = (-sinh r, 0, 0, cosh r)
// After translation and projection to the Poincaré disk their circumcircle
// equals the image of the original hyperbolic circle.
