-    evaluate(kernel, field_i, field_j, k, l, comp_i, comp_j, material_cache, geometry_cache, q) -> Float64
-
-Compute single scalar contribution to K[i,j] at integration point q.
-
-# Arguments
-- `kernel`: Kernel instance (holds material, geometry properties)
-- `field_i`, `field_j`: Field types for dispatch (Displacement, Temperature, etc.)
-- `k`, `l`: Shape function/node indices
-- `comp_i`, `comp_j`: Component indices (1-3 for vectors, 1 for scalars)
-- `material_cache`: Precomputed material state (σ, 𝔻, κ, etc.)
-- `geometry_cache`: Precomputed geometry (∇N, detJ, etc.)
-- `q`: Integration point index
-
-# Returns
-Float64 value WITHOUT detJ*w scaling (assembler handles weighting).
-
-Default implementation returns 0.0 (no coupling). Override for specific kernel-field pairs.
-
-See `docs/src/developer/microkernel_architecture.md` for design rationale and examples.
