//! Reference-frame reduction and a geodetic ground-station observer.
//!
//! Bridges the inertial, of-date TEME positions the SGP4/SDP4 propagator emits to
//! the Earth-fixed frame, the WGS-84 ellipsoid, and topocentric look angles:
//!
//! - [`teme_to_ecef`] / [`ecef_to_teme`] — rotate by the Greenwich Mean Sidereal
//!   Time (the same IAU-1982 [`crate::sgp4::gstime`] the propagator uses, so the
//!   reduction is consistent with the orbit model). This is the TEME→PEF rotation;
//!   PEF is treated as ECEF (polar motion is neglected — see the scope note).
//! - [`geodetic_to_ecef`] / [`ecef_to_geodetic`] — WGS-84 ellipsoid, the inverse
//!   via a Bowring-seeded fixed-point iteration (machine-precision at every
//!   latitude and altitude, including MEO/GEO).
//! - [`look_angles`] — azimuth, elevation, and range of a satellite (ECEF) seen
//!   from a geodetic ground station, via the local East-North-Up frame.
//!
//! Scope (honest): polar motion (PEF→ITRF) and sub-arcsecond TEME/ECEF nutation
//! refinements are not applied; the rotation is GMST-only. That is adequate for
//! visibility, pass geometry, and look-angle work at this fidelity (errors are
//! well under a kilometre on the ground track), but it is **not** an ITRF-precise
//! reduction. Full IERS polar motion and a CIO-based chain are on the roadmap.
