// SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-only
//! Externally validate kshana's **batch & sequential orbit determination** against an
//! independent third-party authority: **Orekit 12.2** (CS GROUP, Apache-2.0) — its
//! `BatchLSEstimator` (Levenberg–Marquardt) and `KalmanEstimator` (extended Kalman),
//! running on OpenJDK 21 with Hipparchus 3.1.
//!
//! kshana's range-only OD ([`kshana::orbit_determination`]) recovers an epoch state
//! `[r, v]` from ground-station ranges with a **batch** Gauss–Newton corrector
//! ([`kshana::orbit_determination::determine_orbit_batch`]) and a **sequential** unscented
//! filter ([`kshana::orbit_determination::determine_orbit_sequential`]). This test feeds the
//! Orekit estimators a model that is BYTE-FOR-BYTE kshana's, so the only difference being
//! measured is the estimator machinery (Gauss–Newton vs Levenberg–Marquardt; kshana's UKF
//! vs Orekit's EKF), not the dynamics or the observation model:
//!
//! * **Dynamics** — two-body + J2 ONLY, evaluated in an inertial frame (GCRF), integrated
//! by a FIXED-STEP classical RK4 of step `dt`. Orekit:
//! `J2OnlyPerturbation(MU, RE, J2, GCRF)` + `ClassicalRungeKuttaIntegrator(dt)`. (The
//! generator's reconnaissance confirmed Orekit's J2-only RK4 single step reproduces
//! kshana's `gravity_accel` + `rk4_step` to sub-micron.)
//! * **Stations** — FIXED inertial points (no Earth rotation). Orekit builds the body
//! ellipsoid on the inertial GCRF, so the station frame does not rotate (verified to 0 m
//! drift over 1000 s).
//! * **Range** — INSTANTANEOUS geometric Euclidean distance (no light-time, no aberration)
//! via a custom `GeometricRange` measurement, exactly kshana's `range_to`.
//! * **Epochs** — observations at `t0 + k·dt`, `k = 1..=n` (kshana's convention: epoch 0 is
//! not measured; the first epoch is one `dt` in).
//!
//! What is compared, over >= 5 noiseless scenarios (LEO i=35°, sun-sync, MEO, eccentric,
//! 3- and 4-station) plus sigma = 5 m noisy scenarios:
//! * **Batch** — kshana's recovered EPOCH state `[r, v]` vs Orekit `BatchLSEstimator`'s.
//! * **Sequential** — kshana's FINAL-epoch UKF state vs Orekit's `KalmanEstimator` (EKF)
//! filtered state at the last processed epoch (Orekit returns the last-epoch state
//! directly), the like-for-like quantity.
//! * **Post-fit RMS** — kshana's batch residual RMS vs Orekit's.
//!
//! HONEST SCOPE: this validates the ESTIMATORS over kshana's teaching two-body+J2 /
//! geometric-range / fixed-inertial-station OD model. It does NOT exercise light-time, Earth
//! rotation, real station geometry, range-rate/angle measurements, or a high-fidelity force
//! model (those are the `precise_od` / `agency_*` harnesses' job). The reference numbers,
//! the Orekit driver (`OrekitOd.java` + `GeometricRange.java`) and provenance live under
//! `tests/fixtures/batch_sequential_orbit_determination/`.
