fix(analysis): refine buffer arcs to meet reference tolerance - #1241
Buffer point cases still differed from the reference by 0.636% of their area after #1207; a short-line case differed by 0.115%. Use 128 edges per point circle and 64 per semicircular cap. The ideal planar circle loses under 0.041% of its area, leaving more than half the strict 0.1% allowance for other errors. All geodesic buffer paths share this arc style; no dependency or command parameter changes.
Remove the three remaining known marks without changing the expected geometries or reference tolerances. Tighten the existing outline regression, and test polygon corners and line joins at shallow and broad turns against the documented 0.125% planar radial bound.
Limit Buffer to 2,000,000 retained outline vertices, across input features and before dissolve, and check the dissolved result too. Multipoint discs count before union even when they overlap, cumulatively across features. Exhaustion returns an error, never a partial layer. This introduces an error for sufficiently large requests that previously ran without a budget. A closed point buffer uses 129 coordinates, so a batch fits at most 15,503 point features, including before dissolve; split large features or select fewer features and run smaller batches. This bounds roughly 32 MB of coordinate storage before overhead; it is not a bound on every temporary allocation inside a complex polygon operation.
Distance-based Select Layer By Location shares the same outline budget across selectors, including multipoint discs before union, cumulatively across selectors. Zero-distance selection keeps its existing behavior. Preserve the parallel Buffer processing and projection optimizations merged in #1248; native workers atomically share the retained-outline budget, with temporary geometry possible on each worker.
The following measurements predate the merge of #1248. They document the arc-resolution choice and are not timings for the integrated implementation. The first revision used 200 edges. Comparing the same geometry workloads in one executable (opt-level=1, median of five runs), 200 → 128 edges:
200 small polygons at 500 m: 222 → 205 ms; 41,000 → 26,600 vertices.
50 long lines at 2 km: 572 → 565 ms; 88,897 → 85,390 vertices.
The original 32-edge baseline was 36, 8 and 531 ms respectively. Small polygons therefore still have a substantial cost. A phase-level probe of the revised polygon workload averaged 177 ms in planar buffering and 28 ms projecting back; coarsening to 120 edges gave little further benefit. These are native development-profile measurements, not release or browser timings.
Testing
The original 32-edge code fails exactly three of 40 reference cases once their marks are removed; the finer arcs retain the unchanged strict tolerance.
Focused buffer, budget, corner/join and 40-case reference checks passed.
Selection-budget, parallel-budget, cross-feature multipoint-charge and final dissolved-output budget regressions passed.
Buffer outlines now render with smoother round edges and joins.
Buffer operations return an error when retained outlines exceed the 2,000,000-vertex limit, including after dissolving. Overlapping multipoint circles count toward the limit before dissolving.
Distance-based layer selection applies the same limit to selector buffers; zero-distance selection uses original geometries without this limit.
Documentation
Updated buffer documentation with curve detail, error bounds, and vertex limits.
Geodesic buffers now use round arcs with a 2.8125° step. Limited buffer paths enforce vertex budgets for buffer operations and distance-based location selection. Buffer reference cases use a 0.001 tolerance without the known-issue override.
Point, line, polygon, and stretched-line buffers use round caps and joins with a 2.8125° step. Tests check projected outlines and use distance-scaled arc-error bounds. The guide describes the arc resolution and error bounds.
Buffer operations and distance-based location selection apply vertex budgets. Buffering checks retained outlines and the dissolved result; multipoint discs count before union. Tests cover shared budgets and exhaustion. The guide documents the 2,000,000-vertex limit and zero-distance behavior.

Performance (medium confidence): the 1.8° step multiplies the output, and nothing bounds it. A point now gets 200 edges instead of 32, so 2,000 points give about 402,000 vertices (PR body). The small-polygon case rises 25× in time (9 → 229 ms) while its vertex count rises only about 5.5× (7,400 → 41,000). That gap looks superlinear, so it is worth profiling rather than accepting as linear cost. The buffer tool (crates/analysis/src/tools.rs:1144) checks only the distance, with no input-size or output-vertex budget, so a million-point input could now need roughly 200M vertices. That is about 3 GB of coordinates, which is a real risk in the wasm build (4 GB address space).
The step also looks finer than the reference needs. An area deficit of x²/6 with x = 2π/n stays under 0.1% from about 81 edges per circle. 1.8° gives 200 edges, which leaves margin, but the PR does not explain why that margin is worth about 2.5× the vertices. Please either justify the step with a measured trade-off, or pick a coarser step (or make it a per-call budget). Release and wasm timings would also help, since the PR only reports opt-level=1.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Addressed in 7a5c7b7. The circle now has 128 edges: its ideal planar area deficit is 0.0402%, leaving more than half the unchanged 0.1% reference allowance for other errors. In the same native opt-level=1 executable (median of five runs), the 2,000-point workload fell from 178 to 119 ms and from 402,000 to 258,000 vertices. The 200-polygon workload fell from 222 to 205 ms. A phase probe attributed about 177 ms to planar buffering and 28 ms to projection back; the polygon cost remains substantial, and 120 edges gave little further improvement. These measurements do not establish release or browser performance.
Buffer now limits retained outlines to 2,000,000 vertices across selected features, before dissolve, and checks the dissolved result too. Multipoint discs count before union, including overlapping discs. Exceeding the budget returns an error instead of a partial layer. The budget bounds retained geometry, not every temporary allocation inside a complex polygon operation. A regression covers accumulation across features, both dissolve modes and overlapping multipoints.
All 40 reference cases pass at the unchanged tolerance, together with full CI, the wasm build and publication hooks.

Nit (low confidence on impact, high on the gap): the new doc says a short corner can cut up to 0.05% inside, and docs/user-guide/analysis.md repeats it. The outline test (buffer_outlines_keep_their_distance_between_vertices, tools.rs:5036-5039) bounds only point circles and line caps, at 0.013%. Nothing exercises polygon corners or line joins, so the 0.05% figure is untested. The claims that the 1.8° step is "the finest the backend supports" and that it "rounds a corner's segment count down" depend on the geo version and could not be checked from this checkout. Consider a test for a polygon corner or a winding line join, or state the figure as an estimate.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Addressed in 7a5c7b7. A new regression samples actual projected polygon corners and line joins at shallow and broad turns, including vertices, quarter points and edge midpoints. With the revised 128-edge circles, the documented radial bounds are 0.031% for point/cap arcs and 0.125% for corners/joins, in addition to projection error. The test exercises the backend's rounded segment counts directly. I removed the “finest supported” claim.
The corner/join regression, existing geodesic outline regression, all 40 reference cases, full CI and the wasm build pass.
None found. The buffer style is applied at all four buffer call sites in geodesic.rs (point, lines, polygons, stretches). The removed known marks and the test bounds are consistent. The geometry change is internally consistent: the sag for a 1.8° step is about 0.0123%, under the 0.013% bound in the test.
Security
None found. No new input paths, no unwrap/expect/unsafe, and the is_finite guard in geodesic_buffer is still in place.
Performance
The 1.8° step multiplies vertex counts: about 6× for points (2,000 points → 402k vertices), and about 25× time for the small-polygon case while vertices grow only about 5.5×. That gap looks superlinear and should be profiled. The buffer tool (tools.rs:1144) has no output budget, so large inputs could now produce about 3 GB of coordinates, which matters for wasm. The area bound needs only about 81 edges per circle, so 200 is well above what the reference requires. Posted inline (medium confidence).
Quality
The new doc claims are not covered by the test. The 0.05% corner figure in geodesic.rs and analysis.md is untested, and the "finest supported step" and "rounds down" statements depend on the geo version, which I could not check from this checkout. Posted inline as a nit (low impact).
The reference harness keeps its known mechanism with no current users. This looks intentional, so I left it alone.
AGENTS.md
The growth in output size without a budget conflicts with "clamp sizes" under Never crash (medium confidence). Otherwise the change follows the rules: no new panics, and the docs and tests were updated together.
Not checked: I had no shell, so I did not run cargo xtask ci, the reference tests, or any timings. The PR's own results are unverified here.
Already raised: none. prior-reviews.json has no threads, so I left no earlier concerns alone.

Performance / memory (medium-high confidence, continues the earlier thread on the buffer tool's missing budget): the buffer tool now has a vertex budget, but Select Layer By Location (select_by_location, around line 2196) still calls the unbounded geodesic_buffer for every selector and keeps all the outlines in selectors. With the new 128-edge discs, each point selector retains about 4× the vertices it did before this PR (32 edges), and nothing caps the total. A select over a large point layer at 5,000 km can now retain far more than the 2,000,000-vertex budget that buffer enforces.
Suggest routing this through geodesic_buffer_with_limit with a shared remaining budget, as buffer does, and returning its error.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 0f50b1f. Distance-based Select Layer By Location now uses the bounded helper with a shared remaining budget across selector outlines, including multipoint discs before union. Exhaustion returns an error before producing a selection; zero-distance selection keeps its existing behavior. The regression covers accumulation, exact-boundary success, inversion and overlapping multipoints.
The merge also preserves #1248: Buffer workers atomically share the retained-outline budget, with output order and the browser single-worker path preserved. The existing parallel regression now checks exact-budget success and one-vertex-short failure on 1, 3 and 16 workers. Full CI, wasm and hooks pass.
For the general review: the PR description had already been updated to 128/64 edges, the budget and timings for that setting when that review was posted. It now also states the 15,503-point limit explicitly. The phase profile separated planar buffering from projection back; those measurements are labeled as predating #1248 rather than timings for the merged implementation. The reusable known infrastructure is retained deliberately; this issue removes its three obsolete marks.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Behaviour change not in the PR description (medium confidence): with 128 edges per point disc, a single Buffer that used to succeed now fails once its outlines reach 2,000,000 coordinates, which is about 15,600 point features (at the old 32 edges, the same input was about 62,000). Large but valid inputs now get a new error. The budget is a reasonable guard, but the PR body never mentions it or the threshold; the docs describe it only. Please call out the new limit and the lower feature count in the PR description.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The review captured the previous PR description while the follow-up push was being processed. The live body already describes the 128-edge setting, the two-million-vertex budget and its error, and the measurements for that setting. I have made the behavioral consequence explicit as well: this is a new error for large requests that previously had no budget, and 129 coordinates per closed point disc allow at most 15,503 point features per batch, even before dissolve. The documented workaround is smaller batches.
Select Layer By Location still unbounded (medium-high).select_by_location (tools.rs ~2196) calls the unbounded geodesic_buffer and keeps every selector's outline. With 128-edge discs that is about 4× the vertices per point selector, and nothing caps the total. The new budget covers only buffer. Posted inline on tools.rs:12.
Budget lowers the feature count that succeeds (medium). At 128 edges per point, a single Buffer now errors at about 15,600 point features (about 62,000 at the old 32 edges). Posted inline on tools.rs:1176.
Security
None found. Budget errors surface as Err, not silent truncation, and no unwrap/expect appears in non-test code.
Performance
The performance numbers in the PR body were measured at a different arc step (see AGENTS.md below), so they don't describe this code. The superlinear small-polygon gap (9 → 229 ms against 5.5× vertices) is still unexplained (medium).
Quality
The reference harness still implements known marks (crates/analysis/tests/reference.rs:329-343), and generate.py:309-312 still accepts known=. No case uses them now. Either remove them or keep them deliberately (low).
The ARC_STEP comment "without the cost of the backend's finest step" implies a finer step exists, which conflicts with the PR body's "finest the backend supports" (low).
AGENTS.md
PR description doesn't match the code (high). The body says 1.8°, 200 edges to a point circle and about 100 to a semicircular cap. The code has ARC_STEP = π/64 (2.8125°), which gives 128 and 64 edges, and the module docs say the same. The timings and vertex counts therefore come from a different configuration. The body also omits the vertex budget and its error. Re-measure and update the body.
Never-silent and tests: the budget error is a surfaced Err, and the tests cover both exhaustion and the clean case, which meets the guideline.
Wasm and layering: no new dependencies, and the changes stay in L2.
Prior threads
Earlier thread on geodesic.rs:59 (outdated): the buffer-tool budget and the step question are answered by the code. Its select-path concern is restated above as new evidence. The superlinear-timing question remains open.
Earlier thread on geodesic.rs:20 (outdated): answered. Polygon corners and line joins are now tested at the 0.125% bound. Left alone.
Total: 2 earlier concerns, 1 restated with new evidence, 1 left alone as answered.
Not verified
I did not build or run the tests. The environment gave me no shell, so the geo API calls (BufferStyle, LineCap::Round, coords_count) and the new tests are checked by reading only.
Change size
Compared with main (merge base ade618c to PR head 7a5c7b7), the whole PR.
Add a regression case that exercises the final dissolved-output budget check.
The new buffer_vertex_budget_covers_features_and_multipoint_discs test does not reach the final union check at crates/analysis/src/tools.rs:1176-1178. The two-point success cases use disjoint discs, so their union stays within the pre-union budget. The multipoint case is rejected while collecting discs, before union_all runs. Removing the final check would not change any assertion in this test.
Two overlapping discs can produce a union with more coordinates than the sum of their input coordinate counts. Where the overlap contains no input vertex, the union boundary can add the two crossing points on top of every input vertex. A fixture like that, with the limit set to 2 * vertices and dissolve set to "All", would expect the vertex budget error. Without the final check, that fixture would return the oversized geometry instead.
Choose the point spacing so the overlap contains no input vertex, then confirm the expected result against the current geometry output.

Assert returned feature counts in the finite-budget success checks.
These success checks only confirm that the call returns Ok. They do not check the layer that is returned. If a change made the finite-budget path return an empty layer, these assertions would still pass. The default-budget tests do not cover this path, because production always calls buffer with MAX_BUFFER_VERTICES. This is an optional test improvement, not a current functional defect. The same replacement applies to the 4 * vertices success check in the multipoint section.

Update the finite-budget success checks using buffer_with_vertex_limit to
inspect the returned layer’s feature count, asserting one feature when dissolve
is "All" and two otherwise; apply this to both the 2 * vertices check and the 4
* vertices multipoint check.
Assert a noncoincident match in the multipoint selection-budget block.
Assert a noncoincident match in the multipoint selection-budget block.
The multipoint case places its feature on the selector point and asserts only is_ok(). If a multipoint selector ignored its 1 km buffer, the feature would still match its original point, so this case would still pass. Add a feature about 500 m from the selector, set the distance to 1 km explicitly, and assert that its row is selected. This is a test-coverage improvement; the production behavior is not changed.

For the optional success-result assertions: I am retaining the current coverage in this fix. MAX_BUFFER_VERTICES is a finite two-million-vertex limit, so the ordinary Buffer tests exercise the finite-budget production path and assert returned features and geometry. The parallel regression also compares the exact-budget result with the complete independently buffered output on 1, 3 and 16 workers. Existing indexed-selection tests compare buffered selection results with exhaustive predicates. The new multipoint blocks target the demonstrated cross-feature accounting error and its boundary rather than duplicating those geometry assertions.
No further production change is needed for these optional coverage suggestions.
The final dissolved-output budget check now has a regression in 0f50b1f. Two crossing thin rectangles fit the input budget individually, while their union adds crossing vertices and exceeds it. The test verifies that the individual outlines fit, that an unlimited dissolve produces more vertices, and that the same dissolve fails at the input budget. This exercises the final check directly without depending on nearly tangent discs. The focused buffer tests and full CI pass.

Never silent (low-medium confidence):geodesic_buffers_with_limit(..., usize::MAX).unwrap_or_default() here, and .ok().flatten() in geodesic_buffer (line 81), discard the Err. With usize::MAX the error can't occur today, but if it ever did, every buffer in the batch would silently become None or an empty Vec, which is the silent drop AGENTS.md forbids. Consider splitting the budget check into a private helper that takes Option<usize> (None = unbounded), so the unlimited path has no error value to discard.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The only error from these helpers is vertex-budget exhaustion. The public compatibility wrappers pass usize::MAX; simultaneously retained coordinate storage cannot reach that count on the supported address spaces. The bounded tool paths call the fallible helpers directly and propagate their errors, so a real tool budget failure cannot become an empty result. Keeping the existing public API here avoids introducing a second optional-budget mode for an unreachable case.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Performance / error path (low confidence on impact): once one worker returns the budget error, the others keep taking batches and buffering until the shared budget is spent, and thread::scope waits for them. The single-thread path stops at the first error. A shared "failed" AtomicBool checked per feature would let the other workers stop early.
Related: on the main thread, place(work()?) (line 185) returns before the other handles are joined. If a worker has also panicked, the scope reports a generic "a scoped thread panicked" instead of the original payload that resume_unwind preserves on the success path. Joining first and then propagating the error would keep the payload.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The shared atomic charge still bounds retained outlines when one worker fails, and the scope waits for all workers before returning; no worker is detached and no partial result reaches the tool. Cancellation could reduce failure latency, but no unbounded retained-output path or measured latency regression is established here, so I am keeping that refinement out of this accuracy fix. The payload observation applies to a simultaneous worker panic after an earlier budget failure: the panic still reaches the existing analysis::run boundary; preserving its diagnostic payload on that secondary failure does not change the tool result.

Nits (grouped):
This line repeats the "backend's finest step" claim that the PR removed from the module docs. It can't be checked from this checkout, so drop it here too.
VERTEX_BUDGET_ERROR (line 71) says "select fewer features", which doesn't help when one feature alone exceeds the budget (a single huge polygon or multipoint). Something like "reduce the distance or split the input" covers both cases. The same advice is in docs/user-guide/analysis.md.
Now that no case uses it, the known plumbing is dead: generate.py:309-312 (known=None) and the known branch in tests/reference.rs:329-342. Remove it or note that it is kept on purpose.

Handled in 49e987c: removed the remaining “finest step” clause, and the error and guide now advise splitting large features as well as selecting fewer features. The reusable known support is retained deliberately; only the three obsolete marks are removed. The other two optional-refactor comments were answered separately. Full CI, wasm and hooks pass.
I found no correctness bugs. I checked the budget accounting in the worker loop (snapshot check, then CAS charge), the multipoint pre-union check, the post-union check in buffer, the select path, and the thread-count-independent exhaustion test. The corner/join test math also holds: 128 edges gives 0.040% area deficit, and a 5.625° step gives about 0.12% sagitta. Four earlier threads are already raised (the behaviour change, the 1.8° step's performance, the untested corner claim, and select's unbounded buffers, which this PR now budgets). I left all four alone.
Bugs
None confirmed.
Security
None found. Distance is bounded to 5,000 km, and non-finite input is rejected.
Performance
After one worker returns the budget error, the others keep buffering until the shared budget is spent, and the scope waits for them. Add a shared failed flag. Also, an early return from the main thread skips joining workers, which can replace a worker's panic payload with a generic one. Low confidence on impact. (geodesic.rs:156)
Quality
geodesic_buffer and geodesic_buffers discard the Err with .ok().flatten() and unwrap_or_default(). Unreachable today with usize::MAX, but it would become a silent drop if reached. Low-medium confidence. (geodesic.rs:81, geodesic.rs:127)
Nits: the "backend's finest step" claim survives in the ARC_STEP comment; the "select fewer features" error is unhelpful when one feature alone exceeds the budget; and the known plumbing in generate.py:309 and tests/reference.rs:329 is now dead. High confidence on each, low impact. (geodesic.rs:68, geodesic.rs:71)

Charge pre-union multipoint discs to the shared Buffer budget.
buffers_on charges each feature's post-union vertex count to the shared remaining counter. The multipoint branch of geodesic_buffer_with_limit checks its discs against a per-call copy of that allowance and does not report the disc total. Overlapping discs can make the pre-union total larger than the union. Two multipoint features can then each pass their per-call check while their combined pre-union discs exceed the cumulative limit that the documentation describes. The batch succeeds instead of returning VERTEX_BUDGET_ERROR.
The overrun grows with the number of multipoint features. Each call stays bounded by its per-call check, and the retained output remains charged to the shared counter. The effect is excess disc work, not a crash.
Direction:
Have geodesic_buffer_with_limit report the pre-union disc total of a multipoint feature with its buffered result.
At each charge site in buffers_on, charge that disc total against the shared cumulative pre-union bound. Return VERTEX_BUDGET_ERROR when that charge fails.
Keep the existing charge of the retained vertex count and the per-call check.
Add a regression test after the single-feature multipoint assertion in crates/analysis/src/tools.rs (around lines 4926-4931). Use two MultiPoint features in one layer. Each feature's discs should fit the per-call allowance, and their combined pre-union discs should exceed the documented limit. For both dissolve values, assert that buffer_with_vertex_limit returns an error containing vertex budget. Derive the disc counts and the limit from geodesic_buffer_with_limit before fixing the numbers.

site in buffers_on charge that total against the shared cumulative pre-union
budget and return VERTEX_BUDGET_ERROR if exceeded. Preserve the per-call check

Count the union before copying it on the over-budget path.
In the dissolve path, from_multipolygon(&u) builds a full copy of the union before the geom.coord_count() > limit check runs. The copy is about the same size as the union. A coordinate count of u taken before the copy would return VERTEX_BUDGET_ERROR without that allocation. This saves one transient allocation, and only when the dissolve exceeds the budget. The count must use the same counting rule as Geometry::coord_count. Within budget, the copy is still needed. union_all still computes the union without a size bound, so this change does not limit the union's own memory use.

Update the dissolve path around `from_multipolygon` to count the union `u` using
the same rule as `Geometry::coord_count` and return `VERTEX_BUDGET_ERROR` before
copying when it exceeds `limit`; keep the copy for within-budget unions.

…ect by Location buffers on it
Step 1 of opengeos#1252. `parallel::try_map` runs a tool's independent items
(features, raster rows) on several threads, with each item's index, and
returns the results in their order, as one thread would:
- One thread in the browser and below the tool's threshold; at most 16,
and no more than there are batches.
- Threads take the next 16 items from a shared counter, the calling
thread among them, so expensive items lying together are shared out.
- Each thread makes its own scratch value once, for buffers to reuse.
- The first error stops the threads after the items they are making.
On one thread it is the first error in input order; on several, the
earliest of those found.
- A thread that can't start leaves its share to the others; a worker's
panic is raised again for `analysis::run` to catch.
Buffer's `buffers_on` is now this helper, with opengeos#1241's vertex budget
charged in the per-item function (`geodesic::charge`). Select by Location
buffers, charges and converts each selector in one step on the threads
instead of one at a time, so each buffer is dropped once converted. It
also says how many features, and how many selecting features, lack
geometry.
Buffer's output and its budget are the same as main's: byte for byte on
a global mix at 5 and 2,000 km, the same refusal at 0.5 km, and the same
limit between 15,000 and 30,000 points, at the same speed. Select by
Location, 30,000 points by 10,000 selectors at 2 km: the same 25,408
features, 0.84 s on main, 0.20 s on 40 threads.

Doc claim not checked by a test (low confidence on impact): "when the backend rounds its segment count down" describes geo's internal segment rounding, which this change does not pin down. The corner/join test (round_polygon_corners_and_line_joins_keep_their_error_bound) checks the 0.125% bound empirically at the sampled turns, so the module doc can state the measured bound and drop the implementation detail. Example:
Suggested change
//! projection plane. A short corner can have a step approaching 5.625° when the backend rounds
//! Arcs use a 2.8125° step: 128 edges to a point's circle and 64 to a semicircular cap.
//! Between vertices, those edges cut at most 0.031% of the distance inside the circle in the
//! projection plane. At polygon corners and line joins, tested at shallow and broad turns, the
//! cut is at most 0.125%, on top of the projection error.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The corner/join regression guards the observable 0.125% geometric bound rather than the dependency's internal rounding rule. I agree the rounding explanation can be simplified; deferring that wording cleanup and the stale all_at 0.5% example from the summary to the release quality pass. No behavior or numerical bound changes are needed for these documentation nits.
The Buffer wording in the shared error names the buffering operation used by distance selection. The body and guide explicitly limit the retained outlines and pre-union disc accounting; they do not promise to bound every temporary polygon/union allocation. Those caveats remain intentional.
I found no correctness bugs in the budget accounting. The atomic charge, the pre-union multipoint charge, and the exact-limit and one-short tests all hold up on reading. The findings below are documentation and comment issues.
Bugs: none found. I checked the usize subtraction in the multipoint branch (safe, because remaining never exceeds max_vertices), the CAS charge loop, the ? error propagation through buffers_on and both tool paths, and the budget-error conversion to String.
Security: none found. The changes don't add input parsing. The budget bounds retained output and the multipoint disc collection is checked per disc, so hostile multipoint input stops early.
Performance: no new issues beyond what earlier threads cover. Two limits are documented in the PR body but not enforced in code:
The budget is checked after lines()/polygons() build the full outline, so one hostile feature still does its full planar work before the error. The docs say this bounds retained outlines only. Confidence: medium.
In the dissolve path, union_all runs before the u.coords_count() > limit check, so the union's own cost is unbounded. Same caveat. Confidence: medium.
Quality:
crates/analysis/src/tools.rs:5044 (outside this diff, so I could not post it inline): the doc comment on all_at still says "0.5% with geo's 0.2 rad steps". With the new 128/64-edge arcs the crossing sag is about 0.031%. The neighbouring test comments were updated, but this one was missed. Suggested replacement: "…within 0.2%. Where the arcs of two pieces cross, the vertex sits inside both circles by up to their chord's sag (about 0.031% with the 128-edge circles this module draws)…". Confidence: high.
crates/analysis/src/geodesic.rs:20: I posted an inline comment. The module doc's "when the backend rounds its segment count down" describes geo's internal behaviour, which this change doesn't pin down. The corner/join test checks the 0.125% bound empirically, so the doc can state the measured bound and drop the implementation detail. Confidence: low on impact.
geodesic.rs:34: VERTEX_BUDGET_ERROR says "Buffer exceeds its vertex budget", which is also what Select By Location reports. The message is accurate but names Buffer for a Select failure. Nit, low confidence.
AGENTS.md: the changes follow the never-crash rule (no new unwrap/expect/indexing in non-test code, and the public unlimited wrappers can't reach the error path). Budget exhaustion is an error, not a silent drop, which satisfies the never-silent rule. Layering is unchanged. The known marks are removed from the three cases and the reusable known plumbing is kept, as the author said. No changelog exists in the repo. The arc-style code is the geo crate's own buffer machinery, which the repo permits.
Already raised, left alone: 13 earlier threads on this PR. I did not repeat any of them. Several had answers from the author, and I found nothing in the current code that contradicts those answers. This covers: the unwrap_or_default silent-drop concern (unreachable with usize::MAX), the parallel-worker early exit and join-order behaviour, the known plumbing, the Select budget, the 15,503-point limit, the 128-edge timings, and the corner/join bound. I checked each against the current code and did not re-raise any.
I did not run the test suite or build; this review is from reading the diff and the surrounding source only.

@Mavrick-F, I have a question about this PR's vertex budget, and I'd like your answer before I change anything there.
The budget adds up the outline vertices of all features, before dissolve. A point circle has 129 coordinates, so Buffer stops at about 15,500 points. On the #1227 benchmark (random points, 5 km, release CLI, main at 95376b7):
Points
Result
15,000
buffered
30,000
"Buffer exceeds its vertex budget"
100,000
refused
Before this PR, 100,000 points took 0.32 s (2.1 s on one core), and QGIS takes 5.8 s. That was the article's headline test, and it now fails. The details are in #1227 (comment).
I think the total limits more than memory needs. Without a dissolve, each feature's buffer is built on its own and goes into the output anyway, so memory just grows with the output. 100,000 point buffers come to about 200 MB of coordinates. The cases that can really blow up are Dissolve All, which unions everything at once, and a single huge feature.
Would you accept a PR that does one of these?
Keep the budget for each feature and for the Dissolve All input and result, but drop the running total across features for a plain buffer. Select by Location would get the same change.
If you'd rather keep a total cap, raise it a lot, for example to 50,000,000 vertices (about 800 MB).
Separately, I'd like to choose the number of edges from the distance and the tolerance, so a small buffer doesn't always carry 128.
Was 2,000,000 chosen for a particular case, such as a test, a crash you saw, or wasm32's 4 GB memory? If so, I'll make sure the change still covers it.

Summary
Buffer point cases still differed from the reference by 0.636% of their area after #1207; a short-line case differed by 0.115%. Use 128 edges per point circle and 64 per semicircular cap. The ideal planar circle loses under 0.041% of its area, leaving more than half the strict 0.1% allowance for other errors. All geodesic buffer paths share this arc style; no dependency or command parameter changes.
Remove the three remaining
knownmarks without changing the expected geometries or reference tolerances. Tighten the existing outline regression, and test polygon corners and line joins at shallow and broad turns against the documented 0.125% planar radial bound.Limit Buffer to 2,000,000 retained outline vertices, across input features and before dissolve, and check the dissolved result too. Multipoint discs count before union even when they overlap, cumulatively across features. Exhaustion returns an error, never a partial layer. This introduces an error for sufficiently large requests that previously ran without a budget. A closed point buffer uses 129 coordinates, so a batch fits at most 15,503 point features, including before dissolve; split large features or select fewer features and run smaller batches. This bounds roughly 32 MB of coordinate storage before overhead; it is not a bound on every temporary allocation inside a complex polygon operation.
Distance-based Select Layer By Location shares the same outline budget across selectors, including multipoint discs before union, cumulatively across selectors. Zero-distance selection keeps its existing behavior. Preserve the parallel Buffer processing and projection optimizations merged in #1248; native workers atomically share the retained-outline budget, with temporary geometry possible on each worker.
The following measurements predate the merge of #1248. They document the arc-resolution choice and are not timings for the integrated implementation. The first revision used 200 edges. Comparing the same geometry workloads in one executable (
opt-level=1, median of five runs), 200 → 128 edges:The original 32-edge baseline was 36, 8 and 531 ms respectively. Small polygons therefore still have a substantial cost. A phase-level probe of the revised polygon workload averaged 177 ms in planar buffering and 28 ms projecting back; coarsening to 120 edges gave little further benefit. These are native development-profile measurements, not release or browser timings.
