Gauss-Legendre nodal basis has sign-changing basis functions, so positive `r_j`
does not imply nonnegative `rho_h`. In particular, taking logarithms of the
already-positive coefficients at the measured n=1.5 root and applying this
coordinate change would reproduce its negative polynomial exactly. No additional
constraint on positive coefficients removes that root.

positive coefficients alone does not remove that root.
