After an intense debug session with @mscroggs, that outperforms Claude on any day, we found this funky bug in FFCx that expressions evaluated on facets were missing a permutation.
The logic behind this is:
Consider a
trianglewith local verticesand we would like to evaluate an expression on local facet 0
1 --- 2.Then, a point (x=0.2) could either
or
depending of the facet_permutation (which yields a globally consistent orientation). This was disregarded in the first implementation (#672)
