// Cross-block identifiability for the BMS family's parametric and flex
// blocks. Each deviation block's basis is individually orthogonal to its
// own smoothness-penalty null space (`smoothness_nullspace_orthogonal_complement`
// inside `DeviationRuntime::try_new`), but that only makes each block
// identifiable in isolation. Two flex blocks of overlapping argument
// classes (or a flex block whose column span at training rows reproduces
// parametric features) leave a near-null direction in the joint penalised
// Hessian: a linear combination of `β` across blocks produces zero net
// η-contribution at training rows yet costs only the (penalised) basis
// norm. Newton steps blow up along that direction and the inner solver
// either drifts indefinitely along the null mode or, at biobank scale,
// breaks the constrained QP active-set iteration once `W = p(1−p)` further
// degrades the data Hessian.
//
// The principled fix is the standard GAM identifiability convention
// (Wood, §5.4 / mgcv `gam.side`) generalised to multi-anchor unions:
// reparameterise each later block so its column span at training rows is
// orthogonal — in the W-metric — to the union of every earlier block's
// column span. Stack the parametric anchors into `A` (n × d) and project
// the candidate basis `C` (n × p_c) onto the W-orthogonal complement of
// span(A): `C̃ = (I − P_A^{(W)}) C` with `P_A^{(W)} = A (AᵀWA)⁻¹ AᵀW`.
// Keep the columns of `C̃ V` whose `C̃ᵀ W C̃` eigenvalues are above the
// numerical noise floor; absorb the projection into a residual `M = R K_w V`
// stored alongside the runtime so each evaluated row computes
// `design_row = pure_span_row · V − n_row · M`. The joint design then has
// full numerical column rank under the W inner product (the actual row
// metric of the Hessian build at biobank scale), `σ_min(joint H + S) ≥
// λ_min(S₊)` regardless of how β shifts the linear-predictor distribution,
// and the soft "+∞" / divergence-detection / trust-region-collapse-as-KKT
// scaffolding in the inner solver becomes vestigial rather than
// load-bearing.
//
// Subtle but important: the *old* algorithm computed `T = null(AᵀC)` —
// candidate directions whose Gram with the anchor is exactly zero.
// `null(AᵀC) ≠ ∅` is NOT the same as `span(C) ⊆ span(A)`. Counterexample:
// `A = [e₁]`, `C = [e₁ + e₂]`. Then `AᵀC = [1] ≠ 0` so `null(AᵀC) = ∅`
// and the old algorithm declared "fully aliased", even though
// `(I − P_A) C = [e₂]` carries a full independent direction. The
// residualisation theorem is `span(C) ⊆ span(A) ⇔ (I − P_A) C = 0`, and
// that is what this code actually tests.

// Compute a non-degenerate pilot η for the link-deviation cross-block

// The rigid pooled probit pilot from `pooled_probit_baseline` is a scalar
// pair `(a₀, b₀)`, so the rigid observed-scale linear predictor
// `η_rigid[i] = a₀·√(1 + (s_f·b₀)²) + s_f·b₀·z[i]` is **exactly affine in z**
// when the per-row offsets are zero. A degree-3 I-spline of an affine
// function of `z` spans the same column space at training rows as a
// degree-3 I-spline of `z` directly, so evaluating the link-deviation basis
// at `η_rigid` and orthogonalising it against the score-warp basis (built
// on `z`) produces a structurally singular cross-Gram — the candidate is
// fully aliased even though at PIRLS time the link-deviation runtime is
// re-evaluated at the current β-dependent η which carries genuine PC / age
// structure that the score-warp cannot represent.
//
// One probit Gauss-Newton step from the rigid pilot, projected onto the
// full marginal design at the W-IRLS working response, picks up that PC /
// age structure cheaply (one `p_marg × p_marg` Cholesky plus a few matvecs
// — `<<1 s` at biobank scale because `p_marg` is `O(10²)` whereas the
// PIRLS dense Hessian build is `O(n·p²)` per cycle). The resulting
// `η_pilot[i]` has the same row-by-row variation pattern PIRLS will see at
// any non-degenerate β, so the orthogonalisation transform `T` drops only
// the directions that are aliased *across all* β, not those that are
// aliased only at the rigid (rank-1-in-z) pilot.
/// IRLS Hessian row metric for the probit-style data Hessian at a fixed
/// linear predictor `eta`: `w[i] = sample_weights[i] · φ(η_i)² / (μ_i·(1−μ_i))`.
///
/// This is the canonical row metric that the joint penalised Hessian sees
/// during PIRLS for a probit GLM (and the dominant term for
/// BernoulliMarginalSlope's data Hessian). Cross-block orthogonalisation
/// against parametric anchors must use **this** metric — not a uniform
/// W=spec.weights — for the joint Hessian to be block-orthogonal between
/// parametric and flex spans. With a uniform W the orthogonalisation only
/// kills the Euclidean alias; at PIRLS time `Aᵀ W_pirls C̃ ≠ 0` and the
/// joint Hessian carries a near-null direction along the W-metric alias,
/// which REML can drive to arbitrarily small eigenvalue by shrinking the
/// flex block's smoothing parameter — β then runs away along the alias
/// (the failure mode that manifests as `rho≈2.0`, constant `step_inf`,
/// and `beta_inf` growing without bound during PIRLS).

        // sized its marginal/logslope slices from `states[block_idx].beta.len()`
        // (1 each from `dummy_block_state(array![0.0], ...)`), giving a 3-slot
        // block-space {marginal, logslope, h...} even though the design matrices
        // were zero-width.  After the refactor, `block_slices` sizes slices from
        // `design.ncols()`, so zero-width designs collapse marginal and logslope
        // to empty ranges.  Any write to `dir_u[slices.marginal.start]` then
        // aliases `dir_u[slices.logslope.start]` and `dir_u[h_range.start]`,
        // which is why the refactor dropped those writes — but that also
        // dropped the only path by which `exact_newton_joint_hessian_directional_derivative`
        // (which maps block-space direction → primary-space direction via
        // `marginal_design·β_marginal` → `row_dir[primary.q]` and
        // `logslope_design·β_logslope` → `row_dir[primary.logslope]`) could
        // inject nonzero q / logslope components.
        //
        // At the current state (b ≡ block_states[1].eta[row] = 0 and pure
        // h-only block-space direction), the third directional derivative is
        // structurally zero:
        //
        //   In the flex score-warp path, the h-block contribution to the
        //   observed cell coefficient is
        //       coeff_u[idx_h] = s · score_basis_cell_coefficients(basis_span, b)
        //                      = s · [b·h0, b·h1, b·h2, b·h3]   (cubic_cell_kernel.rs:815)
        //   At b = 0 this vanishes, and the only other h-index term —
        //   coeff_bu[idx_h] = s · [h0, h1, h2, h3] — is reached via
        //   `param_directional_from_b_family` only when `dir[primary.logslope] ≠ 0`
        //   (bernoulli_marginal_slope.rs:1799-1815).  With row_dir[q] and
        //   row_dir[logslope] both zero, every directional contraction
        //   (coeff_dir, coeff_a_dir, coeff_aa_dir, coeff_u_dir[u], coeff_au_dir[u],
        //   pair_directional_from_bb_family(...)) collapses to zero.
        //   Therefore `max_abs_third > 1e-10` is analytically impossible.
        //
        // PRINCIPLED FIX.  Restore the block-space geometry the test is
        // actually designed to exercise: give marginal_design and logslope_design
        // single columns of ones (the canonical "scalar" parameterisation used
        // by the sigma FD test at rs:13436), set block_states so row-wise
        // q_internal and b are at typical nondegenerate values, and populate
        // dir_u / dir_v on all three blocks.  The test name was misleading:
        // "h-only" originally referred to the score-warp (h) BLOCK being the
        // only flex block configured (link_dev: None) — not to the direction
        // being supported solely on h.  This fix preserves that original
        // semantic and exercises the block→primary direction map end-to-end.
