/// A single contact point between two shapes.
///
/// A `TrackedContact` represents a single point of contact between two shapes, with enough
/// information to track the contact across multiple frames and identify which geometric
/// features (vertices, edges, faces) are in contact.
///
/// # Understanding Contact Points
///
/// Each contact point consists of:
/// - Two contact positions (one on each shape, in local coordinates)
/// - A distance value (negative = penetrating, positive = separated)
/// - Feature IDs that identify which part of each shape is in contact
/// - Optional user data for tracking contact-specific information
///
/// # Local vs World Space
///
/// Contact points are stored in **local space** (the coordinate system of each shape).
/// This is important because:
/// - Shapes can move and rotate, but local coordinates remain constant
/// - Contact tracking works by comparing feature IDs and local positions
/// - To get world-space positions, transform the local points by the shape's position
///
/// # Distance Convention
///
/// The `dist` field uses the following convention:
/// - `dist < 0.0`: Shapes are penetrating (overlapping). The absolute value is the penetration depth.
/// - `dist == 0.0`: Shapes are exactly touching.
/// - `dist > 0.0`: Shapes are separated. This happens when using contact prediction.
///
/// # Example: Basic Contact Query
///
/// ```rust
/// # #[cfg(all(feature = "dim3", feature = "f32"))] {
/// use parry3d::query::{ContactManifold, TrackedContact};
/// use parry3d::query::details::contact_manifold_ball_ball;

/// // Two balls, one slightly overlapping the other
/// let ball1 = Ball::new(1.0);
/// let ball2 = Ball::new(1.0);
/// let pos12 = Pose::translation(1.5, 0.0, 0.0); // Overlapping by 0.5
///
/// let mut manifold = ContactManifold::<(), ()>::new();
/// contact_manifold_ball_ball(&pos12, &ball1, &ball2, 0.0, &mut manifold);
///
/// if let Some(contact) = manifold.points.first() {
///     println!("Penetration depth: {}", -contact.dist);
///     println!("Contact on ball1 (local): {:?}", contact.local_p1);
///     println!("Contact on ball2 (local): {:?}", contact.local_p2);

/// A contact manifold between two shapes.
///
/// A `ContactManifold` describes a collection of contact points between two shapes that share
/// the same contact normal and contact kinematics. This is a fundamental data structure for
/// physics simulation, providing stable and persistent contact information across multiple frames.
///
/// # Key Concepts
///
/// ## What is a Contact Manifold?
///
/// Instead of treating each contact point independently, a contact manifold groups together
/// all contact points that share the same properties:
/// - **Same contact normal**: All contacts push the shapes apart in the same direction
/// - **Same contact kinematics**: All contacts describe the same type of interaction
/// - **Coherent geometry**: All contacts belong to the same collision feature pair
///
/// For example, when a box sits on a plane, you get a manifold with 4 contact points (one
/// for each corner of the box touching the plane), all sharing the same upward normal.
///
/// ## Why Use Manifolds?
///
/// Contact manifolds are essential for stable physics simulation:
/// 1. **Stability**: Multiple contact points prevent rotation and provide stable support
/// 2. **Performance**: Grouped contacts can be processed more efficiently
/// 3. **Persistence**: Contact tracking across frames enables warm-starting and reduces jitter
/// 4. **Natural representation**: Matches the physical reality of contact patches
///
/// # Generic Parameters
///
/// - `ManifoldData`: User-defined data associated with the entire manifold
/// - `ContactData`: User-defined data associated with each individual contact point
///
/// Both can be `()` if you don't need to store additional data.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ## Basic Usage: Two Balls Colliding
///
/// ```rust
/// # #[cfg(all(feature = "dim3", feature = "f32"))] {
/// use parry3d::query::{ContactManifold, TrackedContact};
/// use parry3d::query::details::contact_manifold_ball_ball;
/// use parry3d::shape::Ball;
/// use parry3d::math::Pose;
///
/// // Create two balls
/// let ball1 = Ball::new(1.0);
/// let ball2 = Ball::new(1.0);
///
/// // Position them so they overlap
/// let pos12 = Pose::translation(1.5, 0.0, 0.0); // Overlapping by 0.5
///
/// // Create an empty manifold
/// let mut manifold = ContactManifold::<(), ()>::new();
///
/// // Compute contacts (no prediction distance)
/// contact_manifold_ball_ball(&pos12, &ball1, &ball2, 0.0, &mut manifold);
///
/// // Check the results
/// assert!(!manifold.points.is_empty());
/// println!("Number of contacts: {}", manifold.points.len());
/// println!("Contact normal (local): {:?}", manifold.local_n1);
///
/// if let Some(contact) = manifold.points.first() {
///     println!("Penetration depth: {}", -contact.dist);
/// }
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// ## Contact Prediction
///
/// Contact prediction allows detecting contacts before shapes actually touch,
/// which is useful for continuous collision detection:
///
/// ```rust
/// # #[cfg(all(feature = "dim3", feature = "f32"))] {
/// use parry3d::query::ContactManifold;
/// use parry3d::query::details::contact_manifold_ball_ball;
/// use parry3d::shape::Ball;
/// use parry3d::math::Pose;
///
/// let ball1 = Ball::new(1.0);
/// let ball2 = Ball::new(1.0);
///
/// // Balls are separated by 0.1
/// let pos12 = Pose::translation(2.1, 0.0, 0.0);
///
/// let mut manifold = ContactManifold::<(), ()>::new();
///
/// // With prediction distance of 0.2, we can detect the near-contact
/// let prediction = 0.2;
/// contact_manifold_ball_ball(&pos12, &ball1, &ball2, prediction, &mut manifold);
///
/// if !manifold.points.is_empty() {
///     let contact = &manifold.points[0];
///     println!("Predicted contact distance: {}", contact.dist);
///     assert!(contact.dist > 0.0); // Positive = separated but predicted
/// }
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// ## Efficient Contact Updates with Spatial Coherence
///
/// One of the main benefits of contact manifolds is efficient updates:
///
/// ```rust
/// # #[cfg(all(feature = "dim3", feature = "f32"))] {
/// use parry3d::query::ContactManifold;
/// use parry3d::query::details::contact_manifold_ball_ball;
/// use parry3d::shape::Ball;
/// use parry3d::math::Pose;
///
/// let ball1 = Ball::new(1.0);
/// let ball2 = Ball::new(1.0);
/// let mut manifold = ContactManifold::<(), ()>::new();
///
/// // Frame 1: Initial contact
/// let pos12_frame1 = Pose::translation(1.9, 0.0, 0.0);
/// contact_manifold_ball_ball(&pos12_frame1, &ball1, &ball2, 0.1, &mut manifold);
/// println!("Frame 1: {} contacts", manifold.points.len());
///
/// // Frame 2: Small movement - try to update efficiently
/// let pos12_frame2 = Pose::translation(1.85, 0.0, 0.0);
///
/// if manifold.try_update_contacts(&pos12_frame2) {
///     println!("Successfully updated contacts using spatial coherence");
/// } else {
///     println!("Shapes moved too much, recomputing from scratch");
///     contact_manifold_ball_ball(&pos12_frame2, &ball1, &ball2, 0.1, &mut manifold);
/// }
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// ## Working with Multiple Contacts
///
/// Some shape pairs produce multiple contact points:
///
/// ```rust
/// # #[cfg(all(feature = "dim3", feature = "f32"))] {
/// use parry3d::query::ContactManifold;
/// use parry3d::query::details::contact_manifold_cuboid_cuboid;
/// use parry3d::shape::Cuboid;
/// use parry3d::math::{Pose, Vector};
///
/// // Two boxes
/// let cuboid1 = Cuboid::new(Vector::new(1.0, 1.0, 1.0));
/// let cuboid2 = Cuboid::new(Vector::new(1.0, 1.0, 1.0));
///
/// // One box sitting on top of another
/// let pos12 = Pose::translation(0.0, 1.9, 0.0); // Slight overlap
///
/// let mut manifold = ContactManifold::<(), ()>::new();
/// contact_manifold_cuboid_cuboid(&pos12, &cuboid1, &cuboid2, 0.0, &mut manifold);
///
/// println!("Number of contact points: {}", manifold.points.len());
///
/// // Find the deepest penetration
/// if let Some(deepest) = manifold.find_deepest_contact() {
///     println!("Deepest penetration: {}", -deepest.dist);
/// }
///
/// // Iterate over all contacts
/// for (i, contact) in manifold.points.iter().enumerate() {
///     println!("Contact {}: dist={}, fid1={:?}, fid2={:?}",
///              i, contact.dist, contact.fid1, contact.fid2);
/// }
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// ## Storing Custom Data
///
/// You can attach custom data to both the manifold and individual contacts:
