Documentation-only release. No code, API, or xcframework change — SPM consumers get the same v1.7.1 binary; only the tag and docs advance.

New cookbook page on Gordon surfaces (#229) — skinning a surface through a network of crossing profile + guide curves via Surface.gordon / Surface.gordonReport (GeomFill_Gordon):

  • The grid-closure requirement (≥2 profiles × ≥2 guides, shared corners) and surface.toFace().
  • Build diagnostics — gordonReport returns status + isApproximate instead of bare nil; allowApproximateFallback for a sampled fallback.
  • The lower-level networkSurface (GeomFill_NetworkSurface) and its knot-alignment caveat.
  • A Gordon-vs-loft-vs-fill decision table.

Snippets compile-checked; figure rendered from the same network the page shows.

The cookbook now spans ten pages: Booleans · Threads · Helices · Lofting & Sweeps · Helical Sweeps · Healing & Validity · Meshing & Export · XCAF Assemblies · Topology Graph · Gordon Surfaces.
