Research direction

Start by reading src/surface/manifold_surface_mesh.cpp around line 619 and tracing how connectVertices() handles a boundary face. Compare connectVertices(a,b) with connectVertices(b,a) and determine which face becomes the new boundary face. Document the observed behavior and whether argument order changes it.

Description

I've been wondering how splitting a boundary face is handled in the Half Edge structure when using connectVertices().
How is determined which face will become the new boundary face?
Judging by https://github.com/nmwsharp/geometry-central/blob/ca43ed7daf97379fc533f74374d007ed7147e62f/src/surface/manifold_surface_mesh.cpp#L619 it seems like it would make a difference whether you use connectVertices(a,b) or connectVertices(b,a)
