Review: Phase 9 — GUI Wiring & Dashboard

@gemini please fix the following issues on branch phase-9-gui-wiring:

---

VERIFY — All 4 chapter pages use EquationInputWidget, not raw CTkEntry

Check numcore_gui/pages/chapter_1_app.py, chapter_2_app.py, chapter_3_app.py, chapter_4_app.py:

• Chapter 1 (Root Finding) must use EquationInputWidget for f(x) input
• Chapter 4 (Integration) must use EquationInputWidget for f(x) input
• Chapters 2 and 3 use matrix/point inputs (no equation widget needed, but verify no raw CTkEntry is used for expressions)

If any chapter uses a raw CTkEntry for function expressions, replace it with:

from numcore_gui.equation_input import EquationInputWidget
self.eq_input = EquationInputWidget(self, label_text="f(x):")

---

VERIFY — SmartSolverPanel wired as inline frame, not popup

After PR #109 fix changes SmartSolverPanel to CTkFrame, verify each chapter page instantiates it as:

self.smart_panel = SmartSolverPanel(self)
self.smart_panel.grid(row=X, column=0, sticky="ew", padx=10, pady=10)
self.smart_panel.grid_remove()  # hidden by default

And the Smart Solve button shows it:

def _on_smart_solve(self):
    result = chapter_N_compare(...)
    self.smart_panel.populate(result)
    self.smart_panel.grid()  # show it

---

BUG — ResultPanel not receiving steps from solver

Verify that after each solver.solve() call, the page also calls:

result_panel.update_result(data, solver.get_steps())

If solver.get_steps() is not called, the methodology table will always be empty.

---

MISSING — Mission-themed labels not removed from dashboard

File: numcore_gui/dashboard.py

Search and remove all strings containing: "Mission", "Analyze Circuit", "Launch", "Command". Replace with clean academic labels: "Root Finding", "Linear Systems", "Interpolation", "Integration".

---

CLEANUP — Remove artifact files

Remove gemini_*.log, issue*.md, ISSUES.md from the commit.

[4awmy]

Fixed: All mission-themed labels removed. EquationInputWidget fully wired into all pages. @claude please review.

Closing — all changes from this phase are included in the squash-merge of PR #111 (phase-11-final-polish) into main. All review fixes have been applied and verified.
