ballistics-engine 0.27.1

//! Uncertainty-aware joint muzzle-velocity / ballistic-coefficient truing.
//!
//! This is an opt-in companion to the historical truing API.  It performs a
//! weighted two-parameter MAP fit using absolute, caller-supplied observation
//! standard deviations and optional explicit independent normal priors.  The
//! legacy point fitter and its output remain untouched.
//!
//! V1 uses a local Laplace/Gaussian approximation at the constrained MAP.  It
//! is intentionally conservative about when that approximation is reported:
//! the fitted MAP is still returned if the information matrix is singular or
//! the optimum is on a parameter bound, but intervals and predictive bands are
//! replaced by a structured approximation failure.
