Description

If the `d` string provided in node to `path(surface, node)` is incorrect or malformed, processing may never end.

What should happen is that an exception should be raised.

Research direction

Start by tracing the path(surface, node) entry point and how the node's d string is parsed. Reproduce the non-terminating behavior with malformed path input, then verify that invalid input raises an exception instead of continuing indefinitely.
