Trigonometric Identity Verifier & Simplifier implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The verifier must explicitly reject undefined samples such as tan(pi/2), preserve absolute-value branch behavior in sqrt(sin(x)^2), and require an angle-unit convention. Otherwise it can return misleading finite values, an invalid global simplification, or a wrong identity verdict.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
