//! Adaptive RK 5(4) Dormand-Prince integrator with PI step controller.
//!
//! ## Scientific scope
//!
//! Provides [`Dopri5`] — an adaptive-step integrator implementing the 5th-order
//! Dormand-Prince method with embedded 4th-order error estimator, controlled by
//! a proportional-integral (PI) step-size controller.
//!
//! The DOPRI5 tableau (Dormand & Prince, 1980; Hairer et al., 1993) uses seven
//! stages to compute a 5th-order solution and a 4th-order error estimate:
//!
//! ```text
//! error = |y5 - y4|  (element-wise)
//! tolerance = atol + rtol * |y_n|
//! step accepted if: rms(error_i / tolerance_i) ≤ 1
//! ```
//!
//! ## Step control
//!
//! ```text
//! h_new = h · (tol / err)^(0.2) clamped to [0.2 h, 5.0 h]
//! ```
//!
//! ## Technical scope
//!
//! Generic over caller-owned context `Ctx`, continuous time scale `S`,
//! reference center `C`, and frame `F`. All typed.
//!
//! ## References
//!
