From 994c8e29bac4a5969cffb9eb913d2e74692bc71c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: skal Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:52:25 +0100 Subject: fix(fft): replace iterative twiddle with direct cosf/sinf, add tests A-E fft_radix2 now computes wr=cosf(angle*k)/wi=sinf(angle*k) directly per k, eliminating float drift over long iteration runs. Iterative approach documented in comment for reference. Tests A-E added (bit-reverse, small-N DFT, twiddle drift, DCT small/large N). arrays_match tolerance reverted to 5e-3.
