Worm mesh

Connection kind worm-mesh (category mech, DSL name wormMesh, API v1)

Couples a worm (driver) to a spur gear (the worm wheel). Yields very high reduction ratios; when starts = 1 the pair is often self-locking.

Accepted ports

`side` — Where the wheel sits relative to the worm, in the worm local XY plane. One of: right, left, up, down, or { angleDeg: N }.

Parameter	Type	Default	Constraints
`side`	any	right	allowed: right, left, up, down

ω_wheel = ω_worm × (starts / teeth_wheel). Direction sign depends on thread handedness (assumed right-hand in v1).

This connection computes the driven component position from the anchor.

connect W1.axis -> G1.axis with mech.wormMesh {
  side: "right"
}
