Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a curved VMobject created using set_points_smoothly and a thick stroke, focusing on the Create animation and the bottom-left cutoff shown in the attached image. Trace the VMobject stroke rendering and animation path; done means the curved stroke renders smoothly without the visible cutoff.
