Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing Plotly Express faceting implementation for 2D Cartesian functions, then compare it with polar, ternary, and map functions. Done means faceting works consistently for the non-Cartesian function families identified in scope, with coverage for those cases.
