- ✅ Create/destroy
- ✅ Dimension verification (ambient_size, tangent_size)
- ✅ Plus operation (via Problem integration)
- ✅ Minus operation (via Problem integration)
- ✅ Problem integration (SetManifold, HasManifold, GetTangentSize)
**Test Example:**
- Euclidean manifold: `Plus(x, delta) = x + delta`, `Minus(y, x) = y - x`
**Status:****Tested**
