Fan triangulation reverses triangle winding · case 05

Every generated triangle faces the opposite way from its polygon.

Case contract

Input: polygon faces. A face with fewer than 3 corners returns ["bad-face", face]. Triangulate each face as a fan [f0, fi, fi+1] for i=1..n-2 (orientation preserved, anchor first). Return [triangles, diagonals added (sum n-3), growth in distinct undirected edge count].

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.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
triangles only	`[[[0, 2, 1], [2, 3, 1]], 0, 0]`	`[[[0, 1, 2], [2, 1, 3]], 0, 0]`	Failed
