Research direction
Start at src/libs/blueprint/conduit_blueprint_mesh.cpp around line 1292 and compare the current centroid calculation with the polygon method in the linked Wikipedia article. Review the existing element lambdas and value accessors mentioned in the issue. The scope and validation criteria still need agreement for the relevant polygon cases.
