Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the command entry point and existing curve-processing commands, then compare their argument handling with the requested thin syntax. Done means the thin command accepts a curve list plus either an integer point count or a tolerance and produces curves with fewer points while retaining their information content.
