sidereon-core 0.10.1

//! Generic weighted least-squares substrate.
//!
//! Domain-free numerical building blocks for nonlinear least-squares fitting:
//! a forward-difference Jacobian and a trust-region (trf-style) Gauss-Newton
//! solver. Nothing here knows about GNSS, orbits, or any physical units; the
//! caller supplies a residual closure `r: R^n -> R^m` and optional diagonal
//! weights.
//!
//! Two distinct numerical regimes live in this module:
//!
//! - The residual evaluation and the finite-difference Jacobian are pure
//!   `f64` arithmetic plus libm `exp`/etc. inside the caller's closure. Their
//!   operation order is fixed and reproducible, so they reproduce a reference
//!   implementation (e.g. scipy `approx_derivative`) bit-for-bit when the same
//!   recipe and the same libm are used.
//! - The solver's trust-region step solves a linear subproblem via a matrix
//!   factorization. That factorization goes through dense linear algebra whose
//!   last bits depend on the BLAS/LAPACK backend, so the converged solution is
//!   reproducible only to a tight tolerance, not bit-for-bit. The owned
//!   [`TrustRegionSolve::OwnedGaussianFirstTie`] variant replaces only the
//!   factorization with a fixed-order scalar kernel; the normal-matrix /
//!   gradient / norm reductions that build the subproblem stay on nalgebra, so
//!   its cross-platform bit guarantee is scoped to the factorization (see that
//!   variant's docs).
//!
//! Keeping the finite-difference primitive separate from the linear-algebra
//! step lets callers assert the former to the bit while treating the latter as
//! a tolerance-bound agreement.
//!
//! # Relationship to the `trust-region-least-squares` crate
//!
//! The workspace also ships [`trust-region-least-squares`], a standalone,
//! publishable solver that reproduces SciPy's trust-region-reflective
//! `least_squares` (its dense unbounded `n = 3`, linear-loss, 2-point-Jacobian
//! path) bit-for-bit, via an SVD-based iteration with an injectable SVD/BLAS
//! seam. This module is a *different* algorithm: a Levenberg-damped Gauss-Newton
//! trust region with no SVD and no reflection, tuned for the GNSS estimation
//! stack and unconstrained in dimension. The two are deliberately not unified.
//!
//! The reason is bit-exactness, not convenience. The only callers of
//! [`solve_trf`]/[`solve_trf_with`] are the SPP solve and the reduced-orbit fit;
//! their converged outputs are pinned to bit-exact goldens (SPP's
//! geometry/clock reference is Skyfield; the reduced-orbit fit is pinned to an
//! independent Astropy/SciPy oracle arc). RTK and PPP do not use this solver.
//! Those goldens were produced by *this* iteration's exact floating-point
//! trajectory; repointing the callers at the SVD/TRF crate's iteration would
//! change the converged values and break the goldens, because the two solvers
//! take different steps even when both converge. So there is no
//! behavior-preserving merge: the public scipy-compatible solver is the crate,
//! the GNSS-tuned solver is this module, and unifying them is a
//! golden-rebaselining decision reserved for the repo owner rather than
//! something to force here.
