*CYLINDRICAL TO CARTESIAN*
==========================

Converts one or more curves from cylindrical coordinates (r, θ, z) to Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z). Use this worker whenever downstream processing requires Cartesian-space curve data that was originally captured or defined in a cylindrical frame.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``cartesian``, ``coordinate_transform``, ``curves``, ``cylindrical``, ``geometry``.

     - One or more curves whose X/Y/Z channels are interpreted as cylindrical coordinates (r, θ in radians, z); accepts multiple curve objects — leave empty if no input curves are available yet.
