Verwendung

Orientierte Bounding Box nahezu minimalen Volumens (das 3-D-`smallest_rectangle2`).

> Die ausführliche Beschreibung unten ist der Originaltext — Zusammenfassung und Überschriften sind übersetzt.

Found by multi-start local refinement: seed the orientation from every convex-

hull face normal (the O'Rourke *case a* candidates — a box face flush with a

hull face), from the PCA axes, and from a fixed set of deterministic random

frames, then polish each by coordinate descent and keep the least-volume result.

This is exact for box-like objects (a rotated cuboid is recovered to machine

precision) and, unlike a PCA box (`fit_box3 / pcseg.obb`), reaches the true

minimum on shapes whose optimum has no face flush with a hull face — e.g. a

regular tetrahedron, where the PCA / hull-face box is ~2x too large.

Honest limit: this is not a *proof* of global minimality for every convex shape.

The exact guarantee needs O'Rourke's full *case b* (two box faces each flush with

a hull edge), which is not enumerated here; local refinement drives seeds into

that regime instead. Empirically the result is at or below a dense brute-force

rotation search, but a pathological shape could leave a small gap.

Returns `center (cd/cr/cc), axes` (3, 3 — unit ROW vectors), sorted

half-extents `l1 >= l2 >= l3, full size, volume, and corners`

(8, 3). Deterministic (fixed random seeds). Raises `ValueError` on < 4 points

or a coplanar/degenerate set (no 3-D hull).
