Research direction

Start with the collocation documentation at the linked “LGL vs LGR collocation” section. Review how the Radau pseudospectral method handles control extrapolation, then update the documentation to explain that control is extrapolated to the terminal value in each segment. Done means the section clearly includes this nuance.
