Tarik Moussa bef5a0ceb7 docs(euclidean-hessian): fix wrong cotangent formula in two comment blocks
Finding-C from doc/reviewer/external-audit-2026-05-30.md.

The box comment at the top and the function-level comment above
euclidean_cot_weights() both stated:

  cot_k = (t_adj1·l123 − t_adj2·t_opp) / denom2   ← WRONG

The correct formula (verified numerically on a 3-4-5 right triangle,
expected cot1=4/3, cot2=3/4, cot3=0) is:

  cot_k = (t_opp · l123 − t_a · t_b) / denom2

where t_opp is the t-value of the edge OPPOSITE vertex k, and t_a/t_b
are the t-values of the two edges ADJACENT to vertex k.

The implementation in euclidean_cot_weights() was already correct;
only the documentation was wrong.

Changes (documentation only, zero code changes):
- Box comment: rewritten with correct formula and explicit per-vertex
  assignment (cot1: t_opp=t23, t_a=t12, t_b=t31; etc.)
- Box comment: added missing ½ factor to Hessian contribution lines
- Function-level comment: corrected to (t_opp·l123 − t_a·t_b)/(8·Area)
  with a pointer to the box comment for the full assignment
- Inline return comment in euclidean_cot_weights(): now shows the
  mapping (cot1: t_opp=t23, t_a=t12, t_b=t31) directly at the formula

263/263 CGAL tests pass, 0 failed.

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 main triggers .gitea/workflows/doxygen-pages.yml which 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.html whenever the hub override is active; both are reachable from the hub itself.
