Inconsistent orientation outranks non-manifold edges · case 04
A mesh with both fins and flipped faces is reported as merely inconsistent.
Case contract
Input: polygon faces. Empty input returns "empty". Consecutive repeated indices form no edge (skip that pair only). Undirected edges used once are boundary, twice interior, more non-manifold; an interior edge whose two uses have the same direction is inconsistent. Verdict precedence: non-manifold, then "non-orientable-or-inconsistent", then "open-oriented" (boundary present), else "closed-oriented". Return [boundary, interior, nonmanifold, inconsistent, verdict].
Why this case matters
Mesh processing pipelines (remeshing, export, simulation, printing) trust these topological counts and adjacency answers; a wrong invariant silently accepts broken meshes or rejects valid ones.
