* This file defines the InvariantEKF class template, inheriting from LieGroupEKF,
* which specifically implements the Left-Invariant EKF formulation. It restricts
* prediction methods to only those based on group composition (state-independent
* motion models), hiding the state-dependent prediction variants from LieGroupEKF.

/**
* @class InvariantEKF
* @brief Left-Invariant Extended Kalman Filter on a Lie group G.
*
* @tparam G Lie group type (must satisfy LieGroup concept).
*
* This filter inherits from LieGroupEKF but restricts the prediction interface
* to only the left-invariant prediction methods:
* 1. Prediction via group composition: `predict(const G& U, const Covariance& Q)`
* 2. Prediction via tangent control vector: `predict(const TangentVector& u, double dt, const Covariance& Q)`
*
* The state-dependent prediction methods from LieGroupEKF are hidden.
* The update step remains the same as in ManifoldEKF/LieGroupEKF.
* For details on how static and dynamic dimensions are handled, please refer to
* the `ManifoldEKF` class documentation.
