We need to make it clearer that in order to use a higher degree spline you need to produce y data for x = nodes(basis)[1].

Trying to use the initial nodes passed as the knot vector will not work because we pad the endpoints internally to preserve continuity at the borders.

Research direction

Start by locating the documentation for higher-degree splines and the usage of nodes(basis). Clarify that y must be produced for x = nodes(basis)[1], and explain that the original knot-vector nodes do not work because endpoints are padded internally to preserve boundary continuity.
