//! # Gauss orbit determination result
//!
//! This module defines [`GaussResult`], an enum representing the outcome of the
//! **Gauss initial orbit determination method** applied to a triplet of astrometric
//! observations.
//! It encapsulates the orbital elements computed from the Gauss method and distinguishes
//! between the *preliminary* and *corrected* stages of the algorithm.
//!
//! ## Variants
//!
//! - **`PrelimOrbit`**
//! A preliminary orbit computed directly from the root of the 8th-degree polynomial
//! and the Gibbs method, without any iterative refinement.
//!
//! - **`CorrectedOrbit`**
//! A corrected orbit obtained after at least one iteration of refinement, typically
//! using velocity correction or Lagrange coefficient adjustments.
//!
//! Both variants wrap an [`OrbitalElements`] value, which can hold Keplerian,
//! Equinoctial, or Cometary elements depending on the solution domain.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - Query methods:
//! * [`GaussResult::is_prelim`] – check if the result is a preliminary orbit.
//! * [`GaussResult::is_corrected`] – check if the result includes refinement.
//! - Accessors:
//! * [`GaussResult::get_orbit`] – borrow the inner [`OrbitalElements`].
//! * [`GaussResult::as_inner`] – alias to `get_orbit`, for generic contexts.
//! * [`GaussResult::into_inner`] – consume the enum and return the inner [`OrbitalElements`].
//!
//! Additionally, `GaussResult` implements [`Display`](std::fmt::Display) to provide a formatted,
//! human-readable view of the result and its orbital elements.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! This type is returned by functions such as
//! [`GaussObs::prelim_orbit`](crate::initial_orbit_determination::gauss::GaussObs::prelim_orbit)
//! or [`estimate_best_orbit`](crate::observations::observations_ext::ObservationIOD::estimate_best_orbit).
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use outfit::initial_orbit_determination::gauss_result::GaussResult;
//!
//! fn handle_result(result: GaussResult) {
//! if result.is_corrected() {
//! println!("Corrected orbit:\n{result}");
//! } else {
//! println!("Preliminary orbit:\n{result}");
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Notes
//!
//! - If you need a specific representation, use [`OrbitalElements::to_keplerian`] or
//! [`OrbitalElements::to_equinoctial`] for explicit conversion.
//!
//! ## See also
//!
//! - [`OrbitalElements`] – Canonical orbital element sum type.
//! - [`KeplerianElements`](crate::orbit_type::keplerian_element::KeplerianElements), [`EquinoctialElements`](crate::orbit_type::equinoctial_element::EquinoctialElements), [`CometaryElements`](crate::orbit_type::cometary_element::CometaryElements) – The three supported element forms.

/// Result of the Gauss initial orbit determination method.
///
/// This enum represents the possible outcomes of a Gauss-based orbit estimation
/// from a triplet of astrometric observations. It distinguishes between:
///
/// - A preliminary orbit derived directly from the polynomial root and position/velocity reconstruction,
/// - A corrected orbit obtained after iterative refinement of the velocity and positions.
///
/// Variants
/// ---------
/// * `PrelimOrbit` – Orbit computed without correction; based solely on the root of the 8th-degree polynomial and
/// the initial Gibbs velocity estimate.
/// * `CorrectedOrbit` – Orbit obtained after convergence of the iterative refinement loop (typically involving
/// Lagrange coefficient fitting or velocity optimization).
///
/// Notes
/// -------
/// * Both variants wrap an [`OrbitalElements`] value, which may itself contain:
/// - [`KeplerianElements`](crate::orbit_type::keplerian_element::KeplerianElements) (classical orbital elements),
/// - [`EquinoctialElements`](crate::orbit_type::equinoctial_element::EquinoctialElements) (non-singular formulation), or
/// - [`CometaryElements`](crate::orbit_type::cometary_element::CometaryElements) (perihelion form for e ≥ 1).
/// * Use [`GaussResult::get_orbit`] or [`GaussResult::as_inner`] to borrow the inner
/// [`OrbitalElements`] without matching on the enum.
/// * If a specific representation is needed, use conversion helpers on [`OrbitalElements`]
/// such as [`OrbitalElements::to_keplerian`] or [`OrbitalElements::to_equinoctial`].
///
/// # See also
/// * [`OrbitalElements`] – Sum type for canonical orbital elements.

/// * [`GaussObs::prelim_orbit`](crate::initial_orbit_determination::gauss::GaussObs::prelim_orbit) – Main entry point that returns a `GaussResult`.
