I would like to ask if libmesh can support conforming mesh adaptation.

Technically, "can support" - yes.  One of the consequences of the
"toolkit, not a framework" philosophy is that users can do a lot of
things without specific library APIs to do them, and looping through
elements to split some of them would be a good example.  libMesh will
even do a few things to help with that, like reconstructing neighbor
topology for you if you don't do that on the fly yourself.

But "can provide" - no.  Currently the only refinement types built
into the library are isotropic h refinement with hanging nodes,
isotropic p refinement on hierarchic element types, nodal
redistribution, and mixtures of those.

If you do write conforming mesh adaptation code, though, and it's
generic enough to work on others' problems (even if it's only for
triangles/tets), we'd love to incorporate it.
