Vocabulary — Heal stage

Polylining = exploding a real curve into hundreds of tiny straight line segments. It’s what dirty CAD (and generic PDF/AI converters) do to circles and arcs — a circle becomes 100 little chords. It’s the exact damage cadmaster exists to undo: we re-fit those facets back into true G2/G3 arcs. We must never produce polylined output ourselves — a circle stays a circle.
