+J₂ plasticity with a **St. Venant–Kirchhoff** elastic relation written on the
+Green–Lagrange strain `E` from the assembly (`update_material_cache!` uses
+[`GreenLagrangeKinematics`](@ref)).
+
+This is **not** multiplicative finite-strain plasticity; it is the common
+total-Lagrangian approximation that keeps the same radial return as
+[`PerfectPlasticity`](@ref) but replaces small-strain `ε` with `E`.
+
+See [`continuum_kinematics`](@ref).
