//! # ct-sternbrocot — Stern-Brocot Constrained Pythagorean Snap
//!
//! Uses Stern-Brocot descent to find the optimal Pythagorean triple for a
//! given angle. Falls back to Euclid enumeration when SB misses.
//!
//! Key insight: the Stern-Brocot tree finds best rational approximations,
//! but mediants of Pythagorean triples aren't always Pythagorean. This crate
//! combines SB guidance with Euclid verification for correctness.

/// Result of a snap operation.
