+
+Zero-allocation computation of deformation gradient tensor F for finite element analysis.
+
+This module implements the **nodal assembly** pattern from our golden standard:
+`docs/src/book/multigpu_nodal_assembly.md`
+
+# Mathematical Background
+
+The deformation gradient F maps material coordinates X to spatial coordinates x:
+    
+    x = X + u(X)
+    F = ∂x/∂X = I + ∂u/∂X = I + ∇u
+
+For finite strain: F = I + ∇u (default)
+For small strain:  F = I (displacement gradient ignored)
+
+# Architecture
+
+- Uses Tensors.jl for all tensor operations (Vec, Tensor)
+- Zero allocations (all operations on stack)
+- Type-stable (all types known at compile time)
+- GPU-ready (immutable operations only)

+Compute deformation gradient F at an integration point.
+
+# Mathematical Definition
+
+For finite strain (default):
+```math
+F = I + ∇u = I + ∑ᵢ uᵢ ⊗ (∂Nᵢ/∂X)
+```
+
+where:
+- I = identity tensor
+- uᵢ = displacement at node i (Vec{3})
+- ∂Nᵢ/∂X = basis function derivative w.r.t. material coordinates
+- ∂Nᵢ/∂X = J⁻ᵀ ⋅ (∂Nᵢ/∂ξ)
+
+For small strain:
+```math
+F = I
+```
+
+# Arguments
+- `X_nodes`: Material coordinates at element nodes (NTuple of Vec{3})
+- `u_nodes`: Displacements at element nodes (NTuple of Vec{3})
+- `dN_dξ`: Basis function derivatives w.r.t. parametric coords ξ (NTuple of Vec{D})
+- `J`: Jacobian matrix ∂X/∂ξ (Tensor{2,3})
+- `formulation`: Strain formulation (FiniteStrain() or SmallStrain())
+
+# Returns
+- `F::Tensor{2, 3, Float64, 9}`: 3×3 deformation gradient tensor
+
+# Performance
+- **Zero allocations**: All operations on stack
+- **Type-stable**: Return type known at compile time
+- **SIMD-friendly**: Tensors.jl operations vectorize well
+
+# Examples
+```julia
+# Finite strain (default)
+F = compute_deformation_gradient(X_nodes, u_nodes, dN_dξ, J)
+
+# Small strain
+F = compute_deformation_gradient(X_nodes, u_nodes, dN_dξ, J, SmallStrain())
+
+# Check properties
+@assert det(F) > 0  # Physical requirement
+```
+
+# Implementation Notes
+
+1. **Nodal Pattern**: Operates on single element's data (not global vectors)
+2. **Tensors.jl**: All math uses Vec and Tensor types
+3. **No Mutation**: Pure function, no side effects
+4. **GPU-Ready**: Works on GPU without modification
