//! Sweep showcase: M2 screw (helix spine) + U-shaped pipe (line+arc+line spine)
//! + twisted ribbon (`Auxiliary` aux-spine mode).
//!
//! `ProfileOrient` controls how the profile is oriented as it travels along the spine:
//!
//! - `Fixed`: profile is parallel-transported without rotating. Cross-sections
//!   stay parallel to the starting orientation. Suited for straight extrusions;
//!   on a curved spine the profile drifts off the tangent and the result breaks.
//! - `Torsion`: profile follows the spine's principal normal (raw Frenet–Serret
//!   frame). Suited for constant-curvature/torsion curves like helices and for
//!   3D free curves where the natural twist should carry into the profile.
//!   Fails near inflection points where the principal normal flips.
//! - `Up(axis)`: profile keeps `axis` as its binormal — at every point the
//!   profile is rotated around the tangent so one in-plane axis stays in the
//!   tangent–`axis` plane. Suited for roads/rails/pipes that must preserve a
//!   gravity direction. On a helix, `Up(helix_axis)` is equivalent to `Torsion`.
//!   Fails when the tangent becomes parallel to `axis`.
//! - `Auxiliary(aux_spine)`: profile's tracked axis points from the main spine
//!   toward a parallel auxiliary spine. Arbitrary twist control — e.g. a
//!   helical `aux_spine` on a straight `spine` produces a twisted ribbon.

// `Torsion` the profile wouldn't rotate along a straight spine — visible
// twist is therefore proof that Auxiliary is in effect.

// origin, U-pipe at x=6, ribbon at x=12) and applies its color, so main
// just concatenates them.
