Aric Camarata 2992dcee21 docs: add TypeDoc API generation (typedoc@0.28.19 + typedoc-plugin-markdown@4.11.0)
Add typedoc and typedoc-plugin-markdown as devDependencies. Add typedoc.json config
targeting src/index.ts with markdown output to .github/wiki/api. Add docs script to
package.json. Generate initial API reference pages.

Part of T-E8-03 — TypeDoc automation for all 12 JS/TS packages.

moon-sighting / CrescentGeometry

Interface: CrescentGeometry

Defined in: types.ts:118

The five geometric quantities used by all major crescent visibility criteria. All values computed at best time (T_b) unless noted.

Properties

ARCL

ARCL: number

Defined in: types.ts:120

Arc of light: topocentric Sun-Moon angular separation (elongation), degrees


ARCV

ARCV: number

Defined in: types.ts:125

Arc of vision: Moon airless altitude minus Sun airless altitude, degrees. Used as the primary visibility discriminant in both Yallop and Odeh.


DAZ

DAZ: number

Defined in: types.ts:130

Relative azimuth: Sun azimuth minus Moon azimuth, normalized to [-180, 180], degrees. Positive = Moon north of Sun.


lag

lag: number

Defined in: types.ts:137

Moonset minus sunset in minutes. Negative = Moon sets before Sun (no sighting possible).


W

W: number

Defined in: types.ts:135

Topocentric crescent width in arc minutes. Used directly in Odeh's polynomial V expression.
