FA-88787 / Mesh topology invariants / Member archive

Edge split processes polygons as triangles · case 02

Quads are split along a false diagonal and lose a corner.

Case contract

Input [faces, a, b] for a triangle mesh (any non-triangle returns "non-triangle"). Insert vertex m = max index + 1 on edge {a,b}: each triangle (u,w,c) with {u,w}={a,b} along its boundary becomes [u,m,c] then [m,w,c] at its original position. No such triangle returns "no-edge". Return [m, faces, number of split triangles].

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
quad input	`[4, [[0, 4, 2], [4, 1, 2]], 1]`	`"non-triangle"`	Failed
