    //     penalty is meaningless.

    //     the Matérn remainder is strictly positive definite (CPD order 0),
    //     so any P_p suffices — hence the `length_scale.is_none()` gate.

    // (2) Spectral kernel-existence — universal, gated below on the sum.
    //     The pointwise kernel comes from the inverse Fourier of
    //     1/|xi|^{2(p+s)}, which is a finite distribution at the origin

/// double-precision noise floor; otherwise returns `1.0`.
///
/// **Why**: in high d with a small length scale the spectral normalization
/// `c = κ^{d/2-n} / ((2π)^{d/2}·2^{n-1}·Γ(n))` of the Matérn block is `~1e-14`,
/// driving every `K(r) = c · r^ν · K_ν(κr)` to `~1e-16`. Downstream
/// `B^T B` is then at `~1e-32` — below `eps²` — and the spectral whitener
/// truncates everything as noise, even though the basis is mathematically
/// well-defined.
///
/// Rescaling the basis by α = 1/max|K_CC| produces the same predictions
/// (β rescales by α, REML's λ adapts). Since the probe is computed from
/// `centers + kernel parameters` which are stored verbatim in

///   ``c · |(P/π) sin(π Δ/P)|^(2m − 1)``. This is the principled

///   Green's-function ``B_{2m}(Δ/P)`` builder is no longer dispatched
///   from pyffi.
/// * **Nullspace audit**: a more principled choice for the cylinder
///   (``d = 2``, axis 0 periodic, axis 1 non-periodic) is the polynomial
///   nullspace ``{1, x_1, x_1², …, x_1^{m−1}}`` — polynomials in the
