Research direction
Start by reading the linked paper, The Geometry of Nonlinear Least Squares, with applications to Sloppy Models and Optimization. The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry point; first locate the existing Levenberg-Marquardt code in optimistix and define the intended geodesic-acceleration scope before assessing completion.
