Remove stall-prediction-investigation.mdx — a developer investigation page from the early porting effort that documented unresolved bugs (30-120% CD errors, no stall prediction). These issues have long been fixed but the page implied RustFoil is unfaithful to XFOIL. Clean up paneling-validation.mdx — remove investigation narrative (root cause analysis, bug code snippets) and reframe as validation results showing all airfoils match XFOIL to ~4e-7 precision.

- Add re_type parameter to solve(), polar(), bl_distribution() methods - Add reynolds_eff, cp, cp_x fields to SolveResult - Add bl_distribution() method and BLResult class documentation - Add missing RunDatabase methods: get_run, get_airfoil, close Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
New page explaining the three Re modes exposed via the re_type parameter: - Type 1: constant Re (default, wind tunnel) - Type 2: constant Re*sqrt(CL) (level flight at fixed weight) - Type 3: constant Re*CL Includes Python examples and guidance on when to use each mode.

Single authoritative page documenting known behavioural differences between RustFoil and XFOIL. Analysis pipeline has no known differences. QDES uses a different algorithm (Gaussian basis functions vs Newton). MDES has minor gaps (chord normalization, CL computation). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fix sidebar_position collision between polar-types and web-app pages. New nav order: Intro (1) → Python API (2) → Polar Types (3) → Web App (4). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
