how it works? is it just heat shield or parts really modify in-game parameter "radiative flux"?

It has an insanely high heat tolerance and very little heat conductivity, i havent tested it as a heat shield but feel free to test it out as one.

is it possible to make part work only when atmosphere is not present? 

Not quite sure what you mean by this

Is this like a JWST-style sunshield or something else? 

It can indeed work as a sunshield

i was thinking how to making it work ONLY as sun mirror and not as heat shield . if you slam craft into thick atmosphere with this in front it would be fine, and this is not proper behavior for sun mirror, it should break due drag pressure or\and skin friction heat.

forget about that, i get how to get it work as it need to. it should look like this

breakingForce = 50
breakingTorque = 50
maxTemp = 934
skinMaxTemp = 934
heatConductivity = 0.14
emissiveConstant = 0.001

with such parameters it would be proper sun mirror.

also two request: remove Resurfaced dependency and change  triangular pattern to hexagonal.

Ah thank you, I'm not too well versed on the config parameters, will be updating that soon.
