FA-88586 / Mesh topology invariants / Open access

Welded vertex is represented by its last original index · case 01

The representative list points at the last merged point instead of the lowest index.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 7 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Each merge overwrites the representative with the current index.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Keep the first (lowest) original index as representative.

Unsuccessful approach: Using the original index as the new id leaves gaps and mismatches the representative list.

Case contract

Input [points, faces, eps]. Points weld when floor(c/eps+0.5) agrees on every coordinate; the welded vertex takes the next new id and is represented by its lowest original index. Remap faces, merge consecutive equal corners (also across the wrap), drop faces with fewer than 3 corners, rotate each face so its smallest id comes first (orientation kept) and drop later copies of an identical rotated face. Return [representatives, faces].

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.

Verification & scope

Pure combinatorial teaching model over integer face lists with a stipulated contract; no geometry kernel or file format is implied. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
