no idea what this is

The tolerance is the order of magnitude with which the geometry computations are made.
8 means that we have an epsilon of 10^-8
So for instance, if a point is at a distance of another point of less than epsilon, they are considered on the same coordinates.
@lbartoletti could you maybe confirm and/or precise please? I think it is in map unit?

Do you mean, possibly a distance of 0.00000001 m between two vertices 😄 ?
This is not obvious at all. Browsing a few tolerance alg parameters, the closer I could find is in "Remove duplicate vertices" alg and it is written plain decimal number. I'm pretty sure no one would have understood that and the GUI does not look correct to me: 1 would mean 10^-1 and 13 would mean 10^-13? And then the min and max would be inverted? And what if I want to use a tolerance of 1m?
Also, if it is a distance, let's then use the distance parameter type, with available units next to the widget

This starts documenting the Check and fix geometry algorithms, only the angle based one (refs #9530).
It has a few gaps to fill before we cover the remaining algs.
