Orbit energy classification: Kinetic energy lacks the one-half factor · case 03

Many bound orbits are classified as escaping.

Case contract

Input [r, v, mu, tol]. eps=v^2/2-mu/r. Parabolic when |eps|<=tol*mu/r, else elliptic (eps<0) or hyperbolic. a=-mu/(2 eps) (None if parabolic), escape speed sqrt(2mu/r), v_inf=sqrt(2 eps) for hyperbolic else None. Return [kind, a rounded 3, vesc rounded 6, vinf rounded 6].

Why this case matters

Orbit determination and mission planning chain many small conversions; one wrong branch or unit silently moves a spacecraft by kilometres.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
