fix(analysis): keep polar geometry through the geometry tools (#1033) - #1347
Part 1 of 3 for #1033, as planned in the issue and agreed there. Parts 2 (edits) and 3 (radius searches, and features meeting only at a pole) build on this one.
The analysis tools worked in Web Mercator, which clamps latitudes to ±85.0511°, so polar vertices landed on 85.05°: Clip returned nothing, Dissolve no geometry, and Simplify, Minimum Bounding Geometry and Feature To Point collapsed polygons between 87°S and 89°S onto 85.0511°S.
One analysis plane.lonlat_to_plane and plane_to_lonlat in rustgis-geom: Web Mercator bit for bit within ±85.0511° (both ways, checked over a grid with longitudes past ±180°), continued beyond at the slope it reaches there (R·sec 85.0511°), so nothing is clamped and the poles lie at ±26,424 km. Like lonlat_to_merc since #1001, it keeps longitudes unwrapped. Every place the analysis code projects goes through it, except radius searches (part 3 changes those):
convert.rs, so every overlay and geometry tool;
Clip's point test, the convex hull and Near's shared point in tools.rs;
the topology checks (self-intersections, dangles, coverage).
This is the one helper promised in the #1001 review. lonlat_to_merc is unchanged, for drawing and tiles. POLE_TOLERANCE (1e-7°, about a centimeter) is added here because parts 2 and 3 both need it; here only the tests use it.
Tools added since the plan follow the plane too:
Geodesic buffers split an outline's edges against edges straight in the plane, so beyond 85.05° (where they were left whole) a buffer keeps its distance between vertices as elsewhere.
Tabulate Intersection measures its percentages and shares with each edge straight in the plane (a rhumb line within ±85.05°, straight in longitude and latitude beyond), so a polar class's share is no longer taken as if its part beyond 85.05° had no area, and a class wholly beyond it gets its row. Its notice about the 85.05° limit is gone. area_km2 is unchanged (geodesic edges, as Calculate Geometry Attributes); near a pole an edge along a parallel runs far from the geodesic between its ends, so the guide now says the two can differ widely there (a quarter cap from 88°N written with one edge along 88°N: area_km2 about 64% of the plane area) and to add vertices along such edges.
Kernel Density leaves out a point its coordinate system can't hold, as Web Mercator can't one past 85.05° (it was piled on the raster's edge), a multipoint's members each, and says how many in a message of its own naming the system.
Within ±85.05°, coordinates project to the bit as before, and the reference corpus matches unchanged. Results can still change where an edge crosses 85.05°: the plane keeps it straight, where Web Mercator clamped its far end. A mask edge from (0°, 80°N) to (10°E, 89°N) now cuts a line along 84.5°N at 3.99°E instead of 8.50°E, about 48 km apart; a test pins it. The map still clamps the far end and draws the edge straight to there, so a cut along such an edge can fall well away from where the map shows the edge; the user guide says so.
Dangles. Beyond 85.05° the plane stretches east–west by sec(latitude) but north–south by a constant sec(85.05°), and a pole is a line in it, so no one tolerance in plane meters is right. An end there is measured in the azimuthal equidistant projection about its pole: distance from the pole along its longitude, at WGS 84's curvature there (within 0.01% along meridians and 0.13% across them out to 85°), right up to the pole, where every longitude meets, and across ±180°. An edge straight in the plane is a spiral in that frame; only its stretches within the end's reach (up to three: the window and its copies a turn east and west) are measured, in pieces short enough to stray from it by at most a thousandth of the tolerance (at least a millimeter). Candidates come from the existing grid's cells within the end's reach (wrapping once across ±180°), only those holding parts (an end near a pole reaches a whole row), each part opened once per end. An end's own line counts from twice the tolerance along it on the ground, inside an edge too, so a line winding back over its end meets it; an edge needing more than 65,536 pieces, or whose length overflows, is measured coarsely, and the check goes on but says it's incomplete. Cells, entries, parts opened, edges whose box meets the reach, pieces measured and the halvings placing twice the tolerance within a piece each count a unit against the existing work limit, and edges out of reach (the end's own part's included) a unit per 4, so the check stays bounded on hostile layers, while a graticule or cap drawn as one long edge still finishes. Ends within ±85.05° are checked exactly as before (the in-band code is main's on purpose, so results there change only beside an edge reaching beyond 85.05°, which main clamped, as above; and the work limit, shared with the polar ends, can leave a large mixed layer's check partial sooner), except that the grid is now sized for 85.0511° rather than 85°, so an end between the two no longer misses a neighbor in the next cell, and it fills only the cells within the lines' extent.
Simplify's tolerance, as decided on the issue: beyond 85.05° a tolerance in meters can't be right both north–south and east–west. Simplify already uses the smaller scale there: it converts the tolerance at the feature's label point, capped at 85°, so for a feature wholly beyond 85.05° it drops nothing farther than the tolerance on the ground (between 85° and 85.05°, within 0.4%, as Web Mercator's spherical scale is within the band); a new test checks this both ways. That's conservative east–west near a pole: at 89.9°, a 3 km tolerance drops only what's within about 60 m east–west. (A feature spanning many latitudes is converted at its label point, as before.)
Not changed here (as on main): ends within ±85.05° don't look across ±180°; there an entry counts one unit of work though its whole part is measured, and the grid itself can hold tens of millions of entries; the dangle check's error limit is per line rather than per end; a zero tolerance can report an extra dangle at a shared last vertex. Each is worth its own issue.
Testing
cargo xtask ci (fmt, clippy -D warnings, all tests, layers) and cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p rustgis-web: pass on this branch.
New, in crates/analysis/tests/polar.rs:
polar polygons keep their shape through Clip, Dissolve, Simplify, Minimum Bounding Geometry and Feature To Point; a cap around the South Pole (cut at ±180°, closed along −90°) keeps its pole through Clip, Dissolve and Simplify;
polygons at 86–87°S and 88–89°S are apart for Select By Location and 111.69 km apart for Spatial Join's Closest;
dangle ends meet or dangle by their distance on the ground: 3.5 m and 35 m apart at 89.6°N; end to end along 89.9°N (5 m, 30 m) and along a meridian at 89°N (5 m, 30 m); ends a few meters from either pole on different meridians, measured through it (7.1 to 11.2 m, at 10 and 15 m); meridians meeting at the pole; a lone line ending there; lines meeting across ±180° near the pole; a line around 89.9°N; a line curling back onto itself at 88°S; an end 1.1 m from an edge's middle at 1 m, and one on an edge along a parallel at 0.1 m, from 84.9° to 89°; ends on the middle of edges spiraling toward the pole, at 0.5 to 10 m; a 0.25° graticule at 86°N whose parallel is one edge all the way around;
an edge crossing 85.05° cuts at 3.99°E; Simplify's ground tolerance; a convex hull across ±180° at 10°N and 86°S stays 0.6° wide.
Kernel Density: points past 85.05° in EPSG:3857, a multipoint's member among them, left out and counted in their own message; none it can hold gives an error saying why; points it can hold say nothing of the kind. Geodesic buffers keep their distance beyond 85.05°; Tabulate Intersection gives polar classes their area and rows.
Guards: 7,000 lines end to end around 88°S and 8,000 lines piled on one another at 89°N finish within the work limit; unit tests check that a polar end counts its own edge, cells, entries, parts and edges (its own part's too, and reads across ends), and stops on the first unit past the limit, whether at its own edge, the cell, an entry, opening a part or reading one; that an end reaching a whole row of 512 cells reads only the one holding a part; that an edge is measured along its spiral (within 1 cm at a 10 m tolerance, where the chord between its ends is over 10 km off); and the stretches of an edge within an end's reach, across ±180°, on an edge several turns long and with a coordinate missing.
In rustgis-geom: the plane is Web Mercator to the bit within its square and continues smoothly to the poles.
The dangle grid now fills only the cells within the lines' extent, the only ones ever looked in, so a small layer checked at a large tolerance no longer spends the work limit on others: 2,000 lines across 89 m at 1 km now finish (on main the check stops partial). A unit test checks it, and another that an edge with an infinite longitude counts as one piece.
Against main (75b52af), with POLE_TOLERANCE and the polar radius written as numbers: 10 of polar.rs's 12 tests compile there (the spiral and Simplify tests need the plane functions) and all 10 fail; Tabulate Intersection's two changed tests fail there too.
Geometry tools and topology checks now support analysis beyond 85.05° latitude, extending to the poles.
Polar-aware operations improve results near and across the poles, including clipping, dissolving, simplification, convex hulls, and distance checks.
Tabulate Intersection includes polar-region overlaps and reports when east–west edges beyond 85.05° may produce differing area measures.
Bug Fixes
Kernel Density reports how many points it excludes when they cannot be represented in its coordinate system.
Documentation
Updated guidance explains geometry, topology, and area-measurement behavior near the poles, including the continued use of Web Mercator for radius searches.
…os#1033)
The tools worked in Web Mercator, which clamps latitudes to ±85.0511°, so polar
vertices landed on 85.05°: Clip returned nothing, Dissolve no geometry, and
Simplify, Minimum Bounding Geometry and Feature To Point collapsed polygons
between 87°S and 89°S onto 85.0511°S.
They now work in one analysis plane, `lonlat_to_plane`/`plane_to_lonlat` in
rustgis-geom: Web Mercator bit for bit within ±85.0511°, continued beyond at
the slope it reaches there, so nothing is clamped and the poles lie at
±26,424 km. Like `lonlat_to_merc` since opengeos#1001, it keeps longitudes unwrapped.
convert.rs (every overlay and geometry tool), Clip's point test and its
candidate index, the convex hull, Near's shared point and the topology checks
go through it; `lonlat_to_merc` is unchanged for drawing, tiles and (until a
later change) radius searches. Coordinates within ±85.05° project as before; a
result can change where an edge crosses 85.05°, which the plane keeps straight
where Web Mercator clamped its far end.
Tools added since the plan follow the plane too:
- Geodesic buffers split an outline's edges against edges straight in the
plane, so beyond 85.05° (where they were left whole) a buffer keeps its
distance between vertices as elsewhere.
- Tabulate Intersection measures areas with each edge straight in the plane
(a rhumb line within ±85.05°, straight in longitude and latitude beyond), so
a polar class's share and a zone's percentage are no longer taken as if its
part beyond 85.05° had no area, and a class wholly beyond it gets its row.
Its notice about the 85.05° limit is gone; the guide says how `area_km2`,
along the shortest way between vertices, and the percentages can differ
near a pole.
- Kernel Density leaves out a point (a multipoint's member too) its coordinate
system can't hold, as Web Mercator can't one past 85.05°, rather than piling
it on the edge, and says how many it left out.
Beyond 85.05° the plane stretches east–west by sec(latitude) but north–south by
a constant sec(85.05°), and a pole is a line in it. A dangle end there is
measured in the azimuthal equidistant projection about its pole, at WGS 84's
curvature there, up to the pole and across ±180°: against the parts in the
grid cells within its reach, and of each edge only the stretch within reach,
in pieces that stray from it (a spiral in that frame) by at most a thousandth
of the tolerance. Cells, entries, parts opened and pieces count against the
work limit. The grid is sized for 85.0511° rather than 85°, so an end between
the two no longer misses a neighbor in the next cell, and it fills only the
cells within the lines' extent.
For a feature wholly beyond 85.05°, Simplify already converts its tolerance with
a scale no larger than the smaller of the plane's two, so it drops nothing
farther than the tolerance on the ground.

Review comments at @crates/analysis/src/tools.rs:
- Line 3849: Update the polar-area calculation in rhumb_ring_area to derive the
term from colatitude in a way that preserves relative precision near the poles,
rather than relying on sin(latitude) rounding to 1.0. Ensure thin polygons with
both pole-side edges in this range retain a nonzero area contribution.
Review comments at @docs/user-guide/analysis.md:
- Around line 114-116: Update the “Minimum Bounding Geometry” explanation in the
guide to describe points on one parallel as producing a zero-area line rather
than a sliver; leave the surrounding explanation unchanged.
- Around line 761-762: Update the polar-edge wording in the Tabulate
Intersection guide to clarify that measurements follow the analysis plane,
extending straight in longitude and latitude beyond 85.05°, rather than the
visible Web Mercator map; preserve the explanation that percentages and area_km2
can differ widely.

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The change adds an analysis plane that extends Web Mercator coordinates beyond ±85.05° toward the poles. Geometry operations, overlay measurements, and topology checks now use this plane. The change also adds polar regression tests and updates user-guide descriptions.
Changes: Polar geometry behavior
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Analysis-plane projection and conversion crates/geom/src/lib.rs, crates/analysis/src/convert.rs, crates/analysis/src/lib.rs, crates/analysis/tests/reference.rs
The geometry crate adds forward and inverse conversions that continue Web Mercator coordinates toward the poles. Analysis conversion helpers use them.
Geometry operations beyond the latitude limit crates/analysis/src/geodesic.rs, crates/analysis/src/tools.rs, crates/analysis/tests/polar.rs, docs/user-guide/analysis.md
Geometry operations and geodesic outline splitting use the analysis plane. Kernel Density reports rejected coordinates, and Simplify reports affected features beyond 85.05°. Polar tests and guide text cover these behaviors.
Overlay area and intersection results crates/analysis/src/tools.rs, crates/analysis/tests/tabulate_intersection.rs, docs/user-guide/analysis.md
Area integration splits analysis-plane edges at the Web Mercator latitude limit. Tabulate Intersection measures polar overlays and reports features with east–west edges beyond that limit.
Topology calculations use the analysis plane. Dangle detection adds bounded grid and pole-frame checks with work accounting. Tests and documentation describe polar checks and incomplete results.
opengeos/RustGIS#1033: The change routes geometry tools through conversions that preserve polar vertices instead of clamping them at 85.05°. The issue notes that other work remains outside this pull request.
opengeos/RustGIS#1353: The change updates polar overlay handling and documents differences between overlay shares and area_km2. It does not show changes to the area-calculation causes identified in the issue.
opengeos/RustGIS#1354: The change routes Clip and Spatial Join through the polar-preserving plane. It does not add interpretation for rings that loop around a pole without a cut at ±180°.
Suggested reviewers:giswqs, mavrick-f
Merge Risk: Low · up to bb4fa
The change is mergeable with bounded follow-up: correct two polar-geometry descriptions and address area cancellation for extremely small polygons within roughly seven centimetres of a pole. The earlier Simplify notice issues are fixed.

Explanation
The title "fix(analysis): keep polar geometry through the geometry tools (#1033)" matches the main change. The PR adds a shared analysis plane (lonlat_to_plane and plane_to_lonlat) that continues Web Mercator beyond ±85.05° to the poles, so polar geometry is no longer clamped or collapsed by the geometry tools. The title is specific and concise. It omits the dangle, Simplify, and Kernel Density changes, which is expected for a title.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template's Summary, Testing, and Related issue sections. The Summary explains the problem (Web Mercator clamping at ±85.0511°), the shared analysis plane helpers, and the per-tool changes. The Testing section lists commands run, new tests, and the baseline comparison against main. The Related issue section references #1033. The UI evidence section is absent. The template requires it, but the content is a 'No visible UI change.' line, and the PR changes the user guide and map-facing docs rather than rendering. The author should confirm the 'No visible UI change.' line is kept. The description is long and dense, which makes it hard to scan, but it covers the required information.

The parenthetical "(as past 85.05° in Web Mercator)" is attached to every CRS, but Kernel Density's crs is user-selectable (Crs::parse). For a UTM or State Plane layer, a point the projection rejects gets a notice that blames Web Mercator's latitude limit, which is wrong. The limit only explains the 3857 case.
Simplest fix: drop the parenthetical. The existing test assertion on "85.05°" (around kernel_density_skips_points_its_system_cant_hold) then needs updating too.
Suggested change

Confidence: high that the text is misleading; low impact.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 2f028aa: the note names the system ("beyond what {system} can hold"), and adds "past 85.05° of latitude" only for Web Mercator. kernel_density_skips_points_its_system_cant_hold checks the Web Mercator note, and that points the system can hold get none.

Never-silent: when POLAR_PIECES_MAX caps the piece count, the measured length (and in edge_from, the distance) is approximated with no notice. POLAR_PIECES_MAX's doc says "its pieces stray farther", and the dangle result can change with no message. AGENTS.md requires an approximation to say what, how much and where, through ToolResult::messages or a notice.
In practice this needs an edge spanning about 65,000° of longitude, so it's reachable only with hostile input. It still needs either a notice or a test that asserts the capped case reports one. Same cap applies at edge_from (around line 507).
Confidence: medium on the rule, low on how often it fires.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed. A stretch needing more than POLAR_PIECES_MAX pieces is measured in that many and the check reports itself incomplete, then goes on with the rest of the layer (2df1d2a); the walk along an end's own edge is capped and reported the same way (5095543), as is an edge whose length overflows (b885b7c). Tests: a_stretch_measured_coarsely_leaves_the_check_incomplete_not_stopped, a_long_edge_is_walked_only_as_far_as_it_needs. Validate Topology already lists such a rule as incomplete.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Performance, low confidence: the round-trip check runs to_lonlat on every projected point, including in-band ones that only need the forward result. That roughly doubles projection work for large point layers.
If the check is kept for all CRSs, it's fine. If it's only needed to catch points past the Web Mercator limit, consider testing only points with |lat| > 85.05° or a 3857 layer.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Kept as is. The round trip is how the tool tells a point the chosen system can't hold (UTM far from its zone, State Plane, Web Mercator past its limit), for any system. For Web Mercator the limit is now checked exactly before projecting (2df1d2a), since the round trip let a latitude a hair past it through. One inverse per point is small beside the kernel sum over the cells around it.
I read the full diff, AGENTS.md, the PR metadata, and the relevant source. I could not build or run the tests (no shell here), so the numeric test expectations are unverified. The polar dangle, Reach and spiral logic is internally consistent on reading: the sign and scale of wx/wy against the frame, the piece-count formula, the work accounting, and the index bounds all check out. No prior review threads exist, so I left no earlier concerns alone.
Bugs
Kernel Density's notice always says "(as past 85.05° in Web Mercator)", but the CRS is user-selectable. For a UTM or State Plane layer, the message blames the wrong limit. Medium-high confidence on the text, low impact. Posted inline at crates/analysis/src/tools.rs:2869.
Security
None found. The new code is bounded by the work limit, has no unwrap/expect/panic in non-test code, and uses get() and saturating casts.
Performance
Kernel Density round-trips every projected point through to_lonlat, roughly doubling projection cost on large point layers. Low confidence. Posted inline at crates/analysis/src/tools.rs:2820.
Quality
POLE_TOLERANCE is pub but production code in this PR never uses it; only the tests do. The PR body says later parts need it. Left for the release quality pass.
Several new doc-comment lines exceed the surrounding width (may_stray around line 126, the Silverman paragraph in docs/user-guide/analysis.md). Style only.
The Cells doc says "a cell's width and height", but the struct holds a single size.
AGENTS.md
Never silent: POLAR_PIECES_MAX silently approximates edge lengths and distances once an edge needs more than 65,536 pieces. Reachable only by hostile input, but the rule requires a notice. Posted inline at crates/analysis/src/topology.rs:525. Medium confidence on the rule, low on frequency.
Otherwise compliant: the notices are added and removed in the right places, and the tests cover the notice both ways.
Change size
Compared against main (merge base 75b52af to PR head f260ed7).
…pengeos#1033)
- Geodesic buffers: an edge reaching beyond 85.05° is always checked, even
when short. STRAY_PER_M2 holds for rhumb lines, not for the spirals that
straight edges are there: a 10 km point buffer at 89.9°N was 25 m off its
circle (tolerance 0.2 m), as the doc on may_stray said it shouldn't be.
- Dangles beyond 85.05°: the end's own part counts from where the walk
passes twice the tolerance, inside an edge too, not only from that edge's
far vertex. An edge winding round the pole passes back over the end.
- An edge needing more than POLAR_PIECES_MAX pieces (one winding round a
pole on the order of 180 times) stops the dangle check, reported as
incomplete, instead of being measured coarser without a word.
- Kernel Density: the note on points a system can't hold names the system,
and says "past 85.05° of latitude" only for Web Mercator.
…eded (opengeos#1033)
From a second review round on the polar fixes, and CodeRabbit's on opengeos#1348.
- Dangles beyond 85.05°: the walk along an end's own edges stops at the
piece that passes twice the tolerance, at the point within it found by
length, and only those pieces count as work. A hairpin crossing its end
inside a long piece meets it, and a long edge no longer costs its whole
length.
- A stretch needing more than POLAR_PIECES_MAX pieces is measured in that
many and the check says it's incomplete, but goes on: one hostile edge no
longer stops the check for the rest of the layer.
- Geodesic buffers: an edge with both ends beyond 85.05° is bounded as the
spiral it is about the pole (Δλ(ρΔλ + 2Δρ)/8, plus each frame's turn),
so edges far from the pole again skip the full look. The fuzz test now
tries short edges on planes to ±89.99°; over a thousand pass the bound,
and the full look agrees on each. Buffers across ±180° and round a pole
are tested too.
- Kernel Density in Web Mercator leaves out a latitude past 85.05° before
projecting: the round trip let one a hair past it onto the raster's edge.
- Tabulate Intersection's polar test checks area_km2 against GeographicLib.
…polar radius (opengeos#1033)
- Dangles beyond 85.05°: the walk along an end's own edge is cut into at
most POLAR_PIECES_MAX pieces, as a measured stretch already is, and the
check says it's incomplete. An edge winding round a pole a hair from it
can't use up the check's work.
- A piece count that overflows (coordinates far out of range) is one
piece, said to be coarse, not POLAR_PIECES_MAX pieces that measure
nothing better.
- When an end's earlier edges come to exactly twice the tolerance, all of
the next edge counts: its first piece was skipped.
- Geodesic buffers: the spiral bound beyond 85.05° measures distance from
the pole with the polar radius of curvature (a²/b), as the dangle check
does, through one spiral_stray.
…he ground (opengeos#1033)
The walk along a polar end's own edge placed the point where it passes
twice the tolerance in proportion to the piece's length, but the piece's
parameter isn't: an edge reaching from beyond 85.05° far into the band is
one piece, along which the plane stretches about 11.6 times more per
meter beyond 85.05° than within it. A line from 86°N down the meridian to
60°N measured "the rest" from about 0.77 times the tolerance, so its
polar end met its own line and wasn't reported, the check still
complete. The place is now found by halving the piece on the distance

Validate Topology's note on incomplete rules now says a rule is also

…k an overflowing edge (opengeos#1033)
From review of the polar dangle fixes:
- The halving that places twice the tolerance within a piece now stops
once the place is within a millimeter past it (about 25 halvings, not
60), and each halving counts as a unit of work, as each piece does: a
layer of many short polar lines can't run the check far past its work
limit.
- An edge whose length overflows (coordinates far out of range) is walked
as one piece between its own vertices, and the check says it's
incomplete, as edge_from already did: interpolating to its end gave a
missing coordinate, the walk's length went missing, and the rest of the
end's own line was never measured.

Bug, low-medium confidence (re-raised with new evidence). The comment above says a count that isn't a number is coarse too, but only n.is_infinite() sets coarse. A NaN n falls through to the else { 1.0 } arm and is measured as one piece with no incomplete flag, so the dangle result can change with no message. This is the same never-silent gap as the earlier POLAR_PIECES_MAX thread, which the author answered. The answer doesn't cover this path. NaN arises when dl is inf × 0, which needs plane x values near ±1.7e308 and a zero-length stretch. Narrow, but hostile input is in scope.

Fixed in f71ea65: a piece count that isn't a number is coarse too, in edge_from and walk_edge, so the check says it's incomplete. an_edge_with_a_coordinate_out_of_range_is_one_piece now checks an infinite and a missing coordinate in both, and a zero-length stretch of an edge spanning ±f64::MAX.

Never silent, low confidence. Tabulate Intersection now takes percentages from this plane area and area_km2 from geodesic edges. For a polygon with an edge along a parallel near a pole, the two can differ widely. The user guide says a quarter cap from 88°N gives about 64%. The tool doesn't say so in its messages. AGENTS.md asks a tool that approximates to say what, how much and where. Consider a notice, one per kind with a count, when an input polygon has an edge beyond 85.05° that is not straight in the geodesic sense. Otherwise the docs are the only record.

Fixed in f71ea65: Tabulate Intersection now says how many zone and class features have an edge beyond 85.05° running east or west, in one notice next to the antimeridian one, e.g. "2 zone features and 2 class features have an edge beyond 85.05° running east or west: the map takes it straight in longitude and latitude, and their percentages and shares follow the map, while area_km2 takes the shortest way on the ground, which near a pole can differ widely". The polar test checks it fires, and an in-band case that it doesn't; the user guide lists it.
I read the full 2,466-line diff, the repo guidelines, the prior threads, and the source behind the points below. Two inline comments posted. The third concern is in the summary only, because GitHub rejects inline comments on lines outside the diff.
Bugs
Non-finite piece count is not marked coarse (crates/analysis/src/topology.rs:517, inline). edge_from documents that a count which isn't a number is coarse, but only is_infinite() sets the flag. A NaN count is measured as one piece with no incomplete flag. Re-raised with new evidence: the author's earlier answer on the POLAR_PIECES_MAX thread does not cover this path. Confidence: low-medium. The trigger needs plane x values near ±1.7e308.
Never silent
Buffer budget exhaustion is silent (crates/analysis/src/geodesic.rs:215, not postable inline because the line is outside the diff). Plane::ring stops splitting when its 16,000-point budget or MAX_SPLITS runs out, and it reports nothing. That mechanism predates the PR, but the PR now routes beyond-85.05° short edges through it; before, those were left whole. Suggestion: have ring report exhaustion and surface it as one notice with a count. Confidence: low.
Tabulate percentage and area_km2 can disagree with no notice (crates/analysis/src/tools.rs:3151, inline). The user guide documents a 64% case for a polar quarter cap, but the tool doesn't say so in its messages. Confidence: low.
Quality (nits, grouped)
edge_from takes eight arguments and needs #[allow(clippy::too_many_arguments)]. A small struct for the walk state would read better.
POLE_TOLERANCE in geom is used only by tests in this PR, so the doc comment should say it is reserved for parts 2 and 3.
Several doc lines are over the repo's wrap width, including the radius bandwidth sentence in docs/user-guide/analysis.md and the may_stray doc block in geodesic.rs.
AGENTS.md
No unwrap, expect, panic, unsafe, or std::time in non-test code. Test-only panic! is fine.
No new dependencies, so no notices refresh is needed.
LazyLock and usize::is_multiple_of are compatible with wasm and with the declared rust-version = "1.90".
The Kernel Density notice is one per kind with a count, as required.
Prior reviews
Five threads were on the PR. I left four alone because the author answered them and the code is fixed. The fifth (topology.rs:525) I re-raised above with new evidence.
Verification gaps
I did not build or run the tests; the environment has no build access. The claims in the PR body, such as the 0.13% frame error and the work-limit numbers in the tests, are not independently checked.

Add a Tabulate Intersection fixture with a diagonal edge across 85.05°.
Both polygons in polygons_past_85_degrees_are_measured_to_the_pole are axis-aligned lon/lat rectangles. A constant-longitude edge contributes no area, and a constant-latitude edge does not cross 85.05°. The diagonal split in rhumb_ring_area is therefore not exercised. The other polar fixture in this file, in one_notice_per_field_for_missing_values, is also rectangular. No test in the file has a diagonal edge across 85.05°, so a regression in that split can pass the current tests.
Add a polygon with an edge that changes both longitude and latitude across 85.05°, in a zone or class layer. Assert its area and its shares against values computed independently of rhumb_ring_area.

… near a pole; a count that's no number is coarse (opengeos#1033)
From the second round of review:
- Tabulate Intersection says how many zone and class features have an
edge beyond 85.05° running east or west: the overlay takes it straight
in longitude and latitude, as the map draws it, and the percentages and
shares follow, while area_km2 takes the shortest way on the ground,
which near a pole can differ widely. As for the antimeridian, one
notice with a count per layer; tests with polar features and without.
- The map measure's cut of an edge across 85.05° is tested on a triangle
with two diagonal edges there, against ∮ sin φ dλ summed in a million
steps along each edge.
- In the dangle check, a piece count that isn't a number (a missing
coordinate, or a zero-length stretch of an edge whose length
overflows) is coarse, as an overflowing one is, so the check says it's
incomplete.
- POLE_TOLERANCE's doc says only the tests use it here.
Diagonal edge across 85.05° (CodeRabbit):map_area_cuts_edges_across_85_degrees (f71ea65) measures a triangle with two diagonal edges across 85.05° and checks it against ∮ sin φ dλ summed in a million steps along each edge as the plane draws it, independently of the cut in rhumb_ring_area.
Buffer split budget running out silently (geodesic.rs, Plane::ring): the budget and its silence predate this PR, which only sends more polar edges through it. I'll take reporting it up separately rather than grow this PR.

Quality / never silent, medium confidence. The notice says "the map takes it straight in longitude and latitude", but that holds only beyond 85.05°. An edge that crosses 85.05° (one end beyond, one within) is a rhumb line on the band side and straight in lon/lat only past the boundary, and the user guide's "Near the poles" paragraph says so. The notice also counts such crossing edges, so its wording is wrong for them. Suggest naming the plane and the limit:

Quality / never silent, medium-low confidence. Simplify converts its tolerance with this function (simplify_geometry, tol_m * merc_scale(feature_lat(g))). Beyond 85.05° that is capped at sec 85°, so east–west Simplify drops far less than asked. The PR body gives an example: a 3 km tolerance at 89.9° drops only what lies about 60 m east–west. No notice says so, and neither the Simplify section of docs/user-guide/analysis.md (around line 213) nor its "Near the poles" paragraph mentions it. The choice was agreed on the issue, so the code may stand, but the user guide should say the tolerance is applied conservatively near the poles, and by how much, per AGENTS.md's rule to say what is approximated.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 9a3b6af: Simplify now says how many features reach beyond 85.05°, where the tolerance is taken east–west at 85°'s scale and less is simplified away than asked, and the user guide's Simplify paragraph says so, with the 3 km at 89.9°N example. simplify_says_how_many_features_reach_beyond_85_degrees checks it fires there, and not within the band or at a tolerance of 0.
I read the full diff, the base-branch AGENTS.md and the seven prior threads, and checked the code they point at. I could not build or run the tests here (no shell), so the compile and test status is unverified. I checked numerical claims only in part: the polar sag (about 850 m on a 10° edge along 88°N), the 64% area figure, and the window bound in Reach::new.
Bugs: none confirmed. The earlier threads' fixes are present in this head: NaN and infinite piece counts are coarse (edge_from, walk_edge); may_stray checks polar edges before the short-edge return; the own-part walk continues inside an edge; the Kernel Density note names the system; and the piece-cap and incomplete paths are in place. I did not re-raise any of them.
Security: none found. No new input path reaches a panic. Test-only panic!/unwrap is allowed by clippy.toml.
Performance: nothing new. The Kernel Density round-trip check was already discussed and kept by the author.
Quality:
Tabulate's polar notice (tools.rs:4105, medium confidence) says "the map takes it straight in longitude and latitude". That holds only beyond 85.05°, not for edges that cross it. Inline comment with a suggestion posted.
Simplify's polar tolerance (tools.rs:1176, medium-low confidence) is applied conservatively east–west (about 60 m for a 3 km tolerance at 89.9°), with no notice and no mention in the user guide. Inline comment posted.
Nits, for the release quality pass: POLE_TOLERANCE is public in geom but unused in production code; the new Kernel Density sentence in docs/user-guide/analysis.md breaks the file's line-wrapping.
AGENTS.md: no violation found in the changed non-test code. The docs and the Tabulate and Kernel Density notices follow the never-silent rule, and the geometry changes stay within wasm-safe code.
Prior concerns: 7 threads. I left 7 alone: 6 are fixed in the current code and 1 (the Kernel Density round trip) was answered and kept as is.

…le; word Tabulate's polar notice for the plane (opengeos#1033)
Simplify takes its tolerance east-west at 85°'s scale beyond 85.05°, so it removes less there than asked; it now says how many features reach that far, and the user guide says so (a 3 km tolerance at 89.9°N takes out about 60 m east-west). Tabulate Intersection's polar notice now says the analysis plane takes an edge straight in longitude and latitude beyond 85.05° (a rhumb line within it), not 'the map'.
Assert the feature count in the Simplify notice test.
simplify_says_how_many_features_reach_beyond_85_degrees checks only that a message contains beyond 85.05°. A notice with a wrong feature count still passes. The single box in this test produces 1 feature(s), so matching the leading count directly checks the reported value.

Update the message check in the

notice starts with the expected count, “1 feature(s),” as well as the existing
threshold text. Preserve the surrounding assertions and test behavior.
…, and names the scale it uses (opengeos#1033)
Points aren't simplified, so a point beyond 85.05° is no longer counted; and the tolerance is taken at the scale of the feature's middle (its label point's latitude, at most 85°), not always 85°'s, as the notice and the user guide now say.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Never silent, medium confidence.simplify_geometry converts the tolerance once per feature, at the label point's latitude capped at 85°, and applies that eps to every vertex. Ground deviation at latitude φ is eps·cos φ, so for a feature whose label point is past 85° but which has vertices further equatorward, the tolerance is exceeded there. Example: a polar cap from 60°N to the pole with a 3 km tolerance has eps = 11.47 × 3 km, so vertices along 60°N can move about 5.7 × 3 km = 17 km on the ground.
The notice pushed below only covers the "less simplified" direction, for features with vertices beyond 85.05°. The "more simplified" direction for the lower-latitude parts of such features is not reported.
Suggested fix: either count these features too and say that parts equatorward of the label point are simplified farther than asked (how far, and where), or convert per vertex or per part. A test with a cap spanning 60°N to the pole would pin the notice.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Agreed, it's real, and it isn't polar-only: Simplify has converted its tolerance once per feature at the label point's latitude on main too, so any feature spanning many latitudes is simplified farther than asked toward the equator side. Converting per vertex (or per part) changes Simplify's results everywhere, so I'll do it as a follow-up PR under #1033, with a test on a cap from 60°N to the pole, rather than widen this one.
Simplify over-simplifies lower-latitude parts of polar-labelled features, and the new notice does not say so. The tolerance is converted once per feature at the label point's latitude (capped at 85°) and applied to every vertex. A cap from 60°N to the pole with a 3 km tolerance can move 60°N vertices about 17 km. The notice covers only the "less simplified" direction. Posted inline at crates/analysis/src/tools.rs:3052. Confidence: medium. The mechanism is verified in simplify_geometry (tools.rs:3017) and merc_scale. The 60°N figure is my arithmetic, not a run.
Security
None found. The changes are arithmetic and bounded work. The work limits (charge, read, WorkLimit) and the coarse flag cover the new polar paths, and lonlat_to_plane and plane_to_lonlat handle NaN and infinite input without panicking.
Performance
None found that I can confirm. The per-end cost in PolarEnds::meets is bounded by MAX_WORK, and the row scan is at most about three rows because cells are at least max_tol wide. I could not run the tests or benchmarks.
Quality
Spelling churn on changed lines (metres to meters, centre to center, neighbouring to neighboring) while unchanged lines keep the old spelling, for example geodesic.rs "stretch's centre". Left for the release quality pass.
POLE_TOLERANCE is a public constant used only in tests (crates/geom/src/lib.rs). The PR says it is for later parts.
Tabulate's polar check uses exact a.x != b.x float comparison (tools.rs around 4478). A meridian edge with rounding noise would be flagged.
AGENTS.md
The PR body says "Every place the analysis code projects goes through it, except radius searches." That is not accurate. crates/analysis/src/sketch_edit.rs still projects with lonlat_to_merc in non-test code (lines 37, 41, 448, 828). It backs the Cut, Reshape and Trace edits, which clamp at 85.05° without any notice. The PR calls edits "Part 2", so the gap looks deliberate, but the body and the user guide should say so. Confidence: high on the fact.
Plane::ring (geodesic.rs around 215 and 260–274) stops splitting silently once MAX_ADDED is spent. This is pre-existing, but the PR now sends more polar edges into that budget. Confidence: low. Not in the diff, so not posted inline.
Already raised (left alone): 12 prior threads were checked. Eleven are fixed, resolved or answered. The one still open (Simplify "wrong scale" wording, tools.rs ~3061) concerns notice wording. The finding above is a different concern in the same area, so I did not re-raise the wording point.
I could not run cargo xtask ci or the new tests, so the test claims in the PR body are unverified here.
Change size
Compared with the base branch: the whole PR against main (merge base 0b47817 to PR head bb4fa0e).
Guard the polar area term against rounding to zero.
Beyond ±85.05°, rhumb_ring_area adds Δλ × sin φ for each constant-latitude edge. Near a pole, sin φ rounds to exactly 1.0 when the colatitude is below about 1e-8 rad (about 7 cm from the pole). For a thin polygon whose two pole-side edges both lie in that band, the terms cancel to 0. map_area_m2 then returns 0, so the Tabulate Intersection share is 0 and the feature's sum-field value is dropped. Compute the polar term from the colatitude so that it keeps relative precision.

Update the polar-area calculation in rhumb_ring_area to derive the term from
colatitude in a way that preserves relative precision near the poles, rather
than relying on sin(latitude) rounding to 1.0. Ensure thin polygons with both
pole-side edges in this range retain a nonzero area contribution.

Correct the polar edge wording in the Tabulate Intersection guide.
The sentence says polar edges are "taken as the map draws it". The Web Mercator map clamps those edges at 85.05°, as the Near the poles section states. Tabulate Intersection measures them in the analysis plane, and its notice says the percentages follow the plane. Replace the phrase so readers do not compare the percentages with the visible map.

Summary
Part 1 of 3 for #1033, as planned in the issue and agreed there. Parts 2 (edits) and 3 (radius searches, and features meeting only at a pole) build on this one.
The analysis tools worked in Web Mercator, which clamps latitudes to ±85.0511°, so polar vertices landed on 85.05°: Clip returned nothing, Dissolve no geometry, and Simplify, Minimum Bounding Geometry and Feature To Point collapsed polygons between 87°S and 89°S onto 85.0511°S.
One analysis plane.
lonlat_to_planeandplane_to_lonlatin rustgis-geom: Web Mercator bit for bit within ±85.0511° (both ways, checked over a grid with longitudes past ±180°), continued beyond at the slope it reaches there (R·sec 85.0511°), so nothing is clamped and the poles lie at ±26,424 km. Likelonlat_to_mercsince #1001, it keeps longitudes unwrapped. Every place the analysis code projects goes through it, except radius searches (part 3 changes those):convert.rs, so every overlay and geometry tool;tools.rs;This is the one helper promised in the #1001 review.
lonlat_to_mercis unchanged, for drawing and tiles.POLE_TOLERANCE(1e-7°, about a centimeter) is added here because parts 2 and 3 both need it; here only the tests use it.Tools added since the plan follow the plane too:
area_km2is unchanged (geodesic edges, as Calculate Geometry Attributes); near a pole an edge along a parallel runs far from the geodesic between its ends, so the guide now says the two can differ widely there (a quarter cap from 88°N written with one edge along 88°N:area_km2about 64% of the plane area) and to add vertices along such edges.Within ±85.05°, coordinates project to the bit as before, and the reference corpus matches unchanged. Results can still change where an edge crosses 85.05°: the plane keeps it straight, where Web Mercator clamped its far end. A mask edge from (0°, 80°N) to (10°E, 89°N) now cuts a line along 84.5°N at 3.99°E instead of 8.50°E, about 48 km apart; a test pins it. The map still clamps the far end and draws the edge straight to there, so a cut along such an edge can fall well away from where the map shows the edge; the user guide says so.
Dangles. Beyond 85.05° the plane stretches east–west by sec(latitude) but north–south by a constant sec(85.05°), and a pole is a line in it, so no one tolerance in plane meters is right. An end there is measured in the azimuthal equidistant projection about its pole: distance from the pole along its longitude, at WGS 84's curvature there (within 0.01% along meridians and 0.13% across them out to 85°), right up to the pole, where every longitude meets, and across ±180°. An edge straight in the plane is a spiral in that frame; only its stretches within the end's reach (up to three: the window and its copies a turn east and west) are measured, in pieces short enough to stray from it by at most a thousandth of the tolerance (at least a millimeter). Candidates come from the existing grid's cells within the end's reach (wrapping once across ±180°), only those holding parts (an end near a pole reaches a whole row), each part opened once per end. An end's own line counts from twice the tolerance along it on the ground, inside an edge too, so a line winding back over its end meets it; an edge needing more than 65,536 pieces, or whose length overflows, is measured coarsely, and the check goes on but says it's incomplete. Cells, entries, parts opened, edges whose box meets the reach, pieces measured and the halvings placing twice the tolerance within a piece each count a unit against the existing work limit, and edges out of reach (the end's own part's included) a unit per 4, so the check stays bounded on hostile layers, while a graticule or cap drawn as one long edge still finishes. Ends within ±85.05° are checked exactly as before (the in-band code is
main's on purpose, so results there change only beside an edge reaching beyond 85.05°, whichmainclamped, as above; and the work limit, shared with the polar ends, can leave a large mixed layer's check partial sooner), except that the grid is now sized for 85.0511° rather than 85°, so an end between the two no longer misses a neighbor in the next cell, and it fills only the cells within the lines' extent.Simplify's tolerance, as decided on the issue: beyond 85.05° a tolerance in meters can't be right both north–south and east–west. Simplify already uses the smaller scale there: it converts the tolerance at the feature's label point, capped at 85°, so for a feature wholly beyond 85.05° it drops nothing farther than the tolerance on the ground (between 85° and 85.05°, within 0.4%, as Web Mercator's spherical scale is within the band); a new test checks this both ways. That's conservative east–west near a pole: at 89.9°, a 3 km tolerance drops only what's within about 60 m east–west. (A feature spanning many latitudes is converted at its label point, as before.)
Not changed here (as on
main): ends within ±85.05° don't look across ±180°; there an entry counts one unit of work though its whole part is measured, and the grid itself can hold tens of millions of entries; the dangle check's error limit is per line rather than per end; a zero tolerance can report an extra dangle at a shared last vertex. Each is worth its own issue.Testing
cargo xtask ci(fmt, clippy -D warnings, all tests, layers) andcargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p rustgis-web: pass on this branch.crates/analysis/tests/polar.rs:mainthe check stops partial). A unit test checks it, and another that an edge with an infinite longitude counts as one piece.main(75b52af), withPOLE_TOLERANCEand the polar radius written as numbers: 10 ofpolar.rs's 12 tests compile there (the spiral and Simplify tests need the plane functions) and all 10 fail; Tabulate Intersection's two changed tests fail there too.Related issue
