Description

csv_to_wfdb currently strips the path from the input .csv, then writes the output to .dat and .hea

Request is for
a) full path to be preserved for the output file (not backward compatible)
b) accept an optional parameter to specify the output folder (preserves backward compatibility)

Research direction

Start by locating the csv_to_wfdb entry point and inspect how the input basename is converted into .dat and .hea output paths. Confirm the existing behavior, then define the optional output-folder parameter and verify that both generated files use it while calls without the parameter remain compatible.
