///
/// `S²` admits no global 2-D chart, so every `(lat, lon)` parameterization pays

///
///   * **The pole is a wall, not a point.** A `lat ∈ [-π/2, π/2]` latent is an
///     `Interval`, whose retraction clamps and whose tangent projection zeroes
///     the outward velocity at the bound. On the sphere the pole is an ordinary
///     interior point you walk straight through.
///   * **The trust-region metric is wrong by `cos²(lat)`.** The round metric is
///     `dlat² + cos²(lat)·dlon²`, but a product latent's metric weights are
///     per-axis constants, so a fixed coordinate step is a large geodesic move
///     at the equator and a vanishing one near a pole.
///   * **Longitude is gauge at the poles.** `cos(lat) = 0` collapses every
///     longitude to one physical point and kills the longitude jet, leaving a
///     singular `H_tt` block that a coordinate prior can still push around.
///   * **A fixed low-degree chart block need not be rotation-covariant.**
///
/// Parameterizing by the ambient unit vector removes all four. The latent
/// manifold is [`gam_terms::latent::LatentManifold::Sphere`], whose retraction
/// `(u+ξ)/‖u+ξ‖` is globally smooth with no cut and no boundary, whose tangent
/// projection `v − (u·v)u` is exact, and whose uniform ambient metric restricts
/// to *precisely* the round metric on the tangent space. Rotation covariance is
/// automatic: each degree-`l` block spans a full `SO(3)` irrep.
///
/// # The same function space, exactly
///
/// The columns are the identical real harmonics, not an approximation of them.
/// Writing `w = x + iy`, the chart's longitude factor times its `cos(lat)`
/// power is a *polynomial*:
///
/// ```text
/// cos(lat)^{|m|} · cos(|m|·lon) = Re[w^{|m|}]
/// cos(lat)^{|m|} · sin(|m|·lon) = Im[w^{|m|}]
/// ```
///
/// and the Legendre factor `Q_l^{|m|}(sin lat)` is just `Q_l^{|m|}(z)`. So
/// column `(l, m)` is `N_{l,m} · Q_l^{|m|}(z) · A_m(x, y)`, a polynomial in
/// `(x, y, z)` whose derivatives of every order are finite EVERYWHERE, poles
/// included. `ambient_sphere_matches_chart_on_the_sphere` pins that equality
/// against [`SphericalHarmonicEvaluator`] to 1e-12, so this evaluator inherits
/// its orthonormality and spectral metadata rather than re-deriving them.
///
/// # Ambient jets are deliberately unprojected
///
/// The polynomial is the harmonic ambient extension off the sphere, so its
/// ambient gradient carries a radial component that is not tangential data.
/// Removing it is the *manifold's* job, not the basis's:
/// `LatentManifold::project_to_tangent` and `riemannian_hessian_matrix` (with
/// its `add_normal_pinning`) do exactly that, and they are the single authority
/// for it. Projecting here as well would double-apply the correction. The jets
/// below are therefore the raw polynomial derivatives.
///
/// Coordinates are *not* required to be exactly unit-norm: line-search trials
/// legitimately evaluate slightly off the sphere before the retraction pulls
/// them back, and the polynomial is well-defined there. Only on `‖u‖ = 1` do
/// the columns coincide with the orthonormal harmonics.

/// Rank-revealing subspace reparametrization of an inner basis evaluator.
///
/// Issue #1117: a decoder basis (e.g. [`PeriodicHarmonicEvaluator`]) emits a
/// *fixed* number of columns `M` independent of the data, so on a
/// near-degenerate checkpoint the higher columns are unexcited and the
/// decoder design `Φ` is rank-deficient by construction (the OLMo
/// `stage1-step0` PCA-32 circle: data Gram rank `3/5`, the 2nd-harmonic pair
/// dead). A rank-deficient design leaves the inner solve conditioned only by
/// ridges/deflation and flattens the outer REML surface, stalling BFGS.
///
/// This wrapper makes the design **full-rank by construction**: the
/// data-supported subspace of the inner basis is discovered ONCE at fit entry
/// (the eigenvectors of the weighted data Gram `G = Φᵀ W Φ` whose eigenvalue
/// clears the relative spectral cutoff) and frozen into an orthonormal column
/// map `Q ∈ ℝ^{M × r}` (`r = rank(G) ≤ M`). The wrapped evaluator then emits
/// the reduced design `Φ̃ = Φ Q` (and its jets `∂Φ̃ = (∂Φ) Q`, …) on every
/// refresh, so the reduction *survives* re-evaluation — unlike a step-time
/// projector, which the evaluator's next `evaluate` overwrites.
///
/// Because `Q` is a fixed linear remix of the inner columns, the reduced basis
/// is exactly as smooth as the inner one and every derivative composes by the
/// same right-multiply: `∂^g Φ̃ = (∂^g Φ) Q`, contracting only the basis
/// (column) axis. The retained columns span exactly the data-identified part of
/// the inner basis; the smooth/REML penalty then shrinks within that span and
/// is never asked to identify a direction the data cannot see.
///
/// When the inner Gram is full rank (`r == M`, the `base`/`step_2300` case),
/// the fit-entry installer skips the wrap entirely and the inner evaluator is
/// used unchanged, so the well-conditioned path is byte-identical.
