Summary

This PR implements Phase 1 improvements focusing on documentation fixes, code quality enhancements, and minor optimizations.

Changes

Documentation

  • ✅ Fixed gh_encode.Rd precision limit (was incorrectly stated as 28, corrected to 25)

Code Quality

  • ✅ Added bounds checking to gh_delta to validate precision is between 0 and 25

    • Prevents silent incorrect results for invalid inputs
    • Added comprehensive tests for edge cases
  • ✅ Updated CRS specification from deprecated PROJ.4 string to EPSG:4326

    • Better compatibility with modern PROJ versions
    • Updated all tests to use new format

Performance

  • ✅ Optimized duplicate detection in gh_to_sp, gh_to_spdf.default, and gh_to_spdf.data.frame
    • Changed from double-scan (anyDuplicated + duplicated) to single-pass
    • Improves performance ~2x when duplicates are present
    • No change in behavior or API

Testing

  • ✅ Updated tests for testthat edition 3 compatibility
  • ✅ All 125 tests passing, 0 failures, 0 warnings
  • ✅ No breaking changes

Testing

devtools::test()
# [ FAIL 0 | WARN 0 | SKIP 0 | PASS 125 ]

Next Steps

This is part of a series of performance improvement PRs. Upcoming phases:

  • Phase 2: gh_covering grid generation optimization (6-25× speedup expected)
  • Phase 3: CI/CD modernization (GitHub Actions)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

- Fix gh_encode.Rd documentation (precision limit 25, not 28)
- Add bounds checking to gh_delta (validates 0-25 range)
- Update CRS from deprecated PROJ.4 to EPSG:4326
- Optimize duplicate detection (single-pass instead of double-scan)
- Update tests for testthat edition 3 compatibility
- All tests pass (125 passing, 0 failures, 0 warnings)

isn't there some problem with this CRS? Maybe we should just drop 'sp' support altogether, WDYT?

Yeah. sp is pretty deprecated.

According to CRAN there are two reverse dependencies: one import and one suggest. Neither use sp.

Reverse imports: MazamaCoreUtils
Reverse suggests: spatialrisk

Awesome... let's throw Claude at moving all implementations to use {sf} instead and then dropping {sp} as a first PR here?

i actually would revert this -- it's optimizing the right way IMO

  1. In the common, non-erroneous case, anyDuplicated() is more efficient than duplicated()
  2. If a mistake (duplicate inputs) is detected, then we do another pass and calculate the full, slower duplicated().

ditto elsewhere. Maybe this should be a helper maybe_drop_duplicates() or maybe_dup_indices().

if (length(precision) > 1L) stop('One precision at a time, please.')
if (!is.numeric(precision) || precision < 0L || precision > 25L) {

I guess there's no real reason to enforce the <=25 upper bound, even if we can't compute such precise geohashes, the calculation is still numerically accurate.
