Research direction

Start by locating the EllipsoidRegion implementation and reviewing its existing bounding-volume behavior. Use the surrounding geometry code to determine the expected behavior for DistanceToPoint, IntersectsRay, and IntersectsFrustum, then verify that all three functions work correctly with the project's relevant checks.
