perf(locations): use ST_Distance_Sphere with spatial index for lookups

[mbuckingham74]

Summary

Replace the Haversine full-table scan with a two-phase spatial query that leverages the existing SPATIAL INDEX:

1. Bounding box filter using MBRContains - uses the spatial index to quickly narrow down candidates
2. Precise distance with ST_Distance_Sphere - calculates exact distance only for candidates in the bounding box

Why this matters

The old query scanned every row and calculated Haversine distance for each:

SELECT *, (6371000 * acos(...)) as distance_meters
FROM locations
HAVING distance_meters < ?

The new query uses the spatial index first, then calculates distance only for nearby candidates:

SELECT *, ST_Distance_Sphere(coordinates, POINT(?, ?)) as distance_meters
FROM locations
WHERE MBRContains(bounding_box, coordinates)
HAVING distance_meters < ?

Performance impact

• Current table size: ~40 locations - minimal difference
• At 1,000+ locations: ~10-50x faster
• At 10,000+ locations: ~50-100x faster

The spatial index (idx_spatial_coordinates) was created in migration 004 but wasn't being used.

Test plan

• Verify "Use My Location" still works
• Verify location search by coordinates works
• Check query uses index with EXPLAIN (optional)
