//! Log-barrier adapter for linear inequality constraints.
//!
//! [`LogBarrier`] wraps a [`Constraints`](crate::Constraints) problem
//! `min f(x) s.t. A x ≤ b` together with a fixed barrier parameter `μ > 0`
//! and exposes the unconstrained barrier objective
//!
//! ```text
//! φ_μ(x) = f(x) − μ · Σᵢ log(bᵢ − aᵢᵀ x)
//! ```
//!
//! as a plain [`CostFunction`] + [`Gradient`]. Minimizing `φ_μ` for a
//! decreasing sequence of `μ` traces the central path to the constrained
//! optimum: the [`BarrierMethod`](crate::solver::BarrierMethod) automates
//! that continuation, but `LogBarrier` is also usable on its own with any
//! unconstrained solver or [`Executor`](crate::core::executor::Executor),
//! mirroring R's `constrOptim` layering a barrier on `optim`.
//!
//! # Constraint transformation
//!
//! `LogBarrier` consumes a set containing only linear inequality constraints and
//! exposes [`NoConstraints`](crate::NoConstraints) to the inner solver. Other
//! blocks are rejected at compile time. Derivative adapters such as
//! [`FiniteDiff`](crate::FiniteDiff) instead preserve the full declaration.
//!
//! # Feasibility
//!
//! [`cost`](CostFunction::cost) returns `+∞` at any infeasible point (some
//! `bᵢ − aᵢᵀ x ≤ 0`), so a feasibility-respecting line search (backtracking,
//! Wolfe, Moré–Thuente) rejects steps that leave the feasible set. Given a
//! strictly feasible start the iterate path therefore stays interior. The
//! [`gradient`](Gradient::gradient) is only meaningful at feasible points;
//! it still returns a finite-shaped value at infeasible ones (no panic),
//! but callers should not rely on it there.
//! [`BarrierMethod`](crate::solver::BarrierMethod) supplies a Phase I solve
//! automatically when its starting point is not strictly feasible; standalone
//! `LogBarrier` users must still provide an interior start themselves.
//!
//! # Backends
//!
//! Requires checked matrix shape and finiteness, plus
//! [`MatVecInto`](crate::MatVecInto) (`A x`) and
//! [`MatTransposeVecInto`](crate::MatTransposeVecInto) (`Aᵀ v`): a
//! strict subset of the LA tier that never includes a linear solve. That
//! covers all four backends: `DenseMatrix`/`Vec`, nalgebra
//! `DMatrix`/`DVector`, faer `Mat`/`Col`, and ndarray `Array2`/`Array1`
//! (tenet 5).
