"""
Directional (unidirectional) facing toolpath generator.
This module implements the unidirectional clearing pattern that cuts in the same
direction for every pass, providing consistent surface finish.
Feed moves (cutting) are aligned with the angle_degrees argument direction.
At the end of each cutting pass, the cutter retracts to safe height and moves laterally to
the start position of the next pass.
This strategy always maintains either climb or conventional milling direction.
