Generate a flat spiral entry path.

Produces an Archimedean spiral from start_radius to end_radius at constant Z, followed by a smoothing full-circle pass at end_radius.

Parameter	Type	Description
center	tuple[float, float]	(x, y) center of the spiral.
z	float	Cutting Z height.
start_radius	float	Starting radius in mm.
end_radius	float	Ending radius in mm.
revolutions	float	Number of full turns (may be fractional).
direction	str = 'CW'	"CW" or "CCW" (default "CW").
angular_step	float = 0.1	Angular step in radians (default 0.1).
start_angle	float = 0	Starting angle in radians (default 0.0).
state	ops.state.State | None = None	Optional machine state to apply before the path.
Returns	ops.assembly.result.AssemblyResult	An AssemblyResult with the spiral path.
