This module implements a bidirectional clearing pattern where passes alternate between starting from the bottom edge and the top edge of the polygon, meeting in the middle. Bottom passes step inward from min_t toward the center, while top passes step inward from max_t toward the center. Passes are interleaved (bottom, top, bottom, top, etc.) to minimize rapid move distances. Feed moves (cutting) are aligned with the angle_degrees argument direction. Rapid moves are perpendicular to the feed moves and always travel outside the clearing area along the polygon edges. This strategy always maintains either climb or conventional milling direction, but alternates which side of the polygon is cut to maintain consistent milling direction throughout.
