Hmm, "Unknown Shape TGeoCompositeShape" in convert-to-step...

Removed volumes extruding out of mother volume by increasing some dimensions. Now looks like this in ZOY ortho view: ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/14fe40ad-f90c-4352-8b5c-5221a50b9d53)

There was a hidden vacuum volume that is now also fixed, so finally overlaps succeed: ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/52545116-1183-4633-a7d3-9937b718481c)

Good point! Maybe sharpening up the world for those is useful then.

A question here is whether this is best done as a standalone feature (i.e. celeritas -> edm4hep) or if it makes more sense to get this 'for free' by running...

I don't think the ROOT aspect of DD4hep is something celeritas needs to worry about, since this would be *another* way of providing the geometry (and the standard gdml way...
