Follow-up to the Finding-A fix (face_energy guard). The throw is the correct safe behaviour for now; the mathematically complete solution requires formulas for semi-ideal and fully-ideal tetrahedra that are absent from the Java reference. Adds a structured research entry to research-track.md (Phase 9b+): - primary references: Kolpakov-Mednykh arXiv:math/0603097, Milnor 1982, Vinberg 1985 - acceptance criteria: two new volume functions + gradient-check tests + limiting-behaviour continuity witness - explicit note that the throw in face_energy() must not be removed without implementing and testing the replacement formulas Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Quick links the reviewer should bookmark
