Governance and package docs — align with shipped Math API

Policies that keep the org coherent

dotnetgovernancenovolis

What

Refresh documentation that still describes pre–BCL refactor or pre–Topology shapes so agents and humans do not reintroduce forbidden patterns.

ArtifactIssue
[simulation-layer-policy.md](../simulation-layer-policy.md)Says “future `Novolis.Math.Topology`” — package exists
[.cursor/rules/platform-library-boundaries.mdc](../../.cursor/rules/platform-library-boundaries.mdc)Quick table still lists `Ray3` under Math
[inertial-frame-stack-spec.md](../inertial-frame-stack-spec.md)`Vector3d`, `AxisAlignedBox3d`, `Bounds3d` naming
[novolis-physics/.../Numerics/README.md](https://github.com/Novolis-Platform/novolis-physics/blob/main/src/Novolis.Physics.Numerics/README.md)`Ray3` in examples
[novolis-rendering/docs/roadmap-raytracing.md](https://github.com/Novolis-Platform/novolis-rendering/blob/main/docs/roadmap-raytracing.md)`BvhNode` in `CompiledScene` sketch
[novolis-rendering/docs/materials-and-backends.md](https://github.com/Novolis-Platform/novolis-rendering/blob/main/docs/materials-and-backends.md)`BvhNode` in type table
Packed artifact README under `artifacts/nuget-packages-pack/novolis.math.geometry/`Historical `Ray3` sample (regenerate on pack)

Why

  • Documentation is treated as policy by Cursor agents; stale Ray3 examples directly violate library-boundaries.md.
  • Roadmap diagrams that mention BvhNode obscure that `TriangleBvhNode` in Math is canonical.
  • Inertial-frame spec is long-range; it should not contradict the BCL-first rule without an explicit “double precision facet” decision.

How

  1. simulation-layer-policy.md — list Novolis.Math.Topology as current facet; link to Topology README.
  2. platform-library-boundaries.mdc — replace Ray3 with Ray in Math row.
  3. inertial-frame-stack-spec.md — add banner: “Numerics naming superseded by BCL-first policy”; replace examples with Vector3 / AxisAlignedBox or mark section Draft / not implemented.
  4. Physics Numerics README — handled in physics-numerics-package-sunset.md.
  5. Rendering docs — replace BvhNode with TriangleBvhNode; note compile uses Math builder.
  6. Republish — after doc edits, repack Math Geometry so GPR README matches repo.

No code changes required for acceptance of this doc-only wave except repack if README is packed from repo.

Acceptance

  • rg 'Ray3|Sphere3|AxisAlignedBox3' under novolis-governance/docs only hits “forbidden” / migration tables, not “use this type” examples.
  • Agent rules and simulation policy mention Topology as shipped.
