//! GPU NVRTC Wahba intrinsic-S2 kernel matrix construction.
//!
//! This module owns the device-side construction of the Wahba reproducing
//! kernel basis matrix on the 2-sphere using the **finite truncated
//! spectral Legendre series**
//!
//! `K_L(γ) = Σ_{ℓ=1..L} c_ℓ · P_ℓ(cos γ)`,
//!
//! evaluated entry-by-entry against the 3-term Legendre recurrence kept
//! in registers. The host CPU parity target is the matching
//! `SphereWahbaKernel::SobolevTruncated { lmax }` /
//! `SphereWahbaKernel::PseudoTruncated { lmax }` variant added to
//! `src/terms/basis.rs` (single source: same recurrence, same c_ℓ).
//!
//! The device path evaluates the raw column-major kernel matrix with `f64`
//! Legendre recurrence math. Host code owns centering, constraints, and solver
//! assembly in `basis.rs`.
