FA-88452 / Mesh topology invariants / Member archive

Repeated directed half-edges overwrite each other · case 02

A mesh with two faces using the same directed edge is accepted and navigation silently follows the later face.

Case contract

Input [faces, queries]. Build half-edges (f[i], f[i+1 mod n]) with face index, next and prev half-edges. A repeated directed half-edge returns ["duplicate-halfedge", [a,b]]. For each query (a,b) return null if it is not a half-edge, else [face, next, prev, twin] with twin [b,a] when that directed half-edge exists, else null.

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.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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