+# ---- SupernodalLU panel triangular solves ---------------------------------

+# trsms per supernode against its just-factored diagonal block: the L21 panel
+# on the right by U11, and the U12 panel on the left by unit-L11.  Route them
+# through TriangularSolve, which RecursiveFactorization already depends on
+# and uses for its own trsms — so when RFLU is the dense default, the sparse
+# solver's panel work runs on the same kernels.  Measured: recovers the
+# 2D-mesh refactorization gap left by the stdlib trsms.
