//! CBLIB cross-check: solve each exponential-cone instance **twice** —
//! once as a conic program through the non-symmetric HSDE driver, once as a
//! smooth NLP through POUNCE's filter-IPM — and assert the two independent
//! solvers agree on the objective.
//!
//! The smooth NLP reuses the CBF variables: each `VAR EXP` triple
//! `(u₀, u₁, u₂)` (CBF order: `u₀ ≥ u₁·exp(u₂/u₁)`) becomes the constraint
//! `g = u₀ − u₁·exp(u₂/u₁) ≥ 0` with `u₁ ≥ 0`, supplied with its exact
//! gradient and Hessian; the `L=` / `L-` constraint rows stay linear. Because
//! the conic and NLP paths share no code, agreement is strong evidence the
//! exp-cone benchmark pipeline (parse → map → solve) is correct — the
//! validation strategy from `dev-notes/hsde.md`.
