## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
	- Enhanced validation for direction generation parameters to ensure they are within acceptable ranges.
	- Adjusted calculations for cosine and eta values to align with the properties of the cosine function.

- **Tests**
	- Modified random distribution ranges in unit tests for the `CylinderVolumeBuilder` to improve test coverage and accuracy.
