//! Closed-loop GNSS/INS integration: the strapdown mechanization driven by the
//! 15-state error-state EKF with feedback.
//!
//! This is the piece that turns the [`GnssInsEkf`] kernel and the three-axis
//! [`NavState`] mechanization into a working loosely-coupled navigator, and the
//! honest replacement for the hybrid pack's *truth-snap reset* (where a GNSS fix
//! teleported the dead-reckoned position back onto truth with zero residual). A
//! truth-snap is not fusion — it assumes a perfect, noiseless fix and learns
//! nothing about the inertial sensors. Here, instead:
//!
//! 1. **Propagate.** Each IMU sample is corrected by the current bias estimates
//!    (`raw − b̂`), mechanized forward by [`NavState::step`], and the EKF
//!    covariance is time-propagated with the matching navigation context.
//! 2. **Fuse.** When a GNSS position/velocity fix arrives, the EKF forms the
//!    INS−GNSS innovation, weights it against the fix's stated accuracy, and
//!    returns the estimated error state.
//! 3. **Feed back.** The estimated position and velocity errors are *subtracted*
//!    from the strapdown solution, the estimated inertial biases are *added* to
//!    the running bias estimates (so the next propagation step is cleaner), and
//!    the error-state mean is reset to zero.
//!
//! The payoff is **a continuously-corrected state with a bounded error**: across
//! the aided arc the filter holds the strapdown solution to the metre level —
//! where a free-running INS diverges without limit — so when GNSS drops out the
//! navigator enters the outage with a clean position, velocity and attitude and
//! only has to coast for the outage window, not the whole mission. The benchmark
//! below shows the fused solution's Monte-Carlo position RMS over a 60 s outage
//! beating an unaided open-loop dead-reckoner by roughly 4× (the milestone
//! threshold is 2×).
//!
//! **Honest limitation.** In *loosely-coupled* mode the accelerometer bias and
//! the platform tilt are only weakly separable: both perturb the horizontal
//! solution through the (dominant, near-constant) gravity vector, so with
//! realistic GNSS noise the individual bias estimate is not reliable on this
//! class of trajectory. The value delivered here is therefore the bounded,
//! corrected state — not a precise inertial calibration. Sharper bias
//! observability comes from richer dynamics (vertical specific-force changes) and
//! the tightly-coupled extension, both noted as roadmap items.
//!
//! The INS and GNSS are compared in a local tangent-plane NED frame anchored at a
//! fixed geodetic origin, using exactly the radii of curvature the mechanization
//! integrates with ([`radii_of_curvature`]). For the short, slow arcs this filter
//! targets, the flat-Earth projection error is far below the metre-level GNSS
//! noise.
//!
//! **Feedback scope.** Position, velocity, attitude error (`ψ`, rotating the
//! body→NED quaternion), and accelerometer/gyro bias are all fed back, and the
//! error-state mean is reset after each fix. Feeding attitude back (not only the
//! biases) is essential to stability: the tilt and accelerometer bias are a
//! coupled pair, so correcting one without the other drives the filter unstable.
