Description
Summary:
The description of the unit vector transform isn't accurate as written in the Reference Manual chapter on constraining transforms. There's no Jacobian determinant involved, just a density on auxiliary parameters.

Research direction
Start in the Reference Manual chapter on constraining transforms and locate the unit vector transform description. Check the surrounding explanation against the issue's distinction between a Jacobian determinant and a density on auxiliary parameters; done means the manual accurately describes the transform without introducing a Jacobian determinant.
