Document PR 4223: Vector integration in DblPend using Clifford algebra

[Copilot]

Created comprehensive analysis of PR 4223's 414-file changeset transitioning Drasil from component-based to Clifford algebra-based vector representations.

Analysis Document Structure

• Core Infrastructure: Vect → ClifS type system migration, expression operators renamed (VV→CC), code generation mappings updated
• DblPend Example: Introduced vector quantities (posVec, mvVel, mvAccel), simplified ODE system from 40+ lines to 4 symbolic references
• Data Libraries: Physics quantities (acceleration, velocity, force, momentum, etc.) now use realVect vecDim with proper vector spaces
• Outstanding Issues: 10+ TODOs for unimplemented operations (Norm, Grade, WedgeProd), code generation disabled, 10+ unresolved review comments

Key Findings

Critical design issue: Clifford algebra leaking into external documentation despite requirement to remain internal. Generated docs show ClifS (Fixed 3) Vector Real instead of "Vector of length 3 of Real".

Blockers for merge:

• Code generation explicitly non-functional
• Review feedback unaddressed (commented code, inline sentences, formatting)
• realVect helper duplicated across examples, needs abstraction to drasil-lang
• Multiple placeholder error implementations for core operations

Architecture direction is sound but implementation incomplete. PR targets intermediate branch CSchankGA (#4261), not main.

If you would like a review like this, you can also send the .patch file copy of your PR/commit to an LLM for summary. Just add ".patch" to the end of PR urls or commit URLs on GitHub to get those .patch files. You can also use git to make them.

One thing I noticed is that the AI summary misattributed a change to #4223 :

- New file: `code/drasil-code/lib/Language/Drasil/ICOSolutionSearch.hs`
**What changed:**
- Extracted `getExecOrder` function to separate module `ICOSolutionSearch`

This was done in #4418. I wonder if it doesn't handle merge commits well?
