Closes #9.

Summary

  • Normalize the C++ cluster radius to radius / 2^zoom, matching supercluster's projection (previously half-radius at default extent: 512).
  • Add viewportTileSize so zoom-from-region can follow geo-viewport 256 (MapView / react-native-map-clustering) or extent (/hooks / /engine / react-native-clusterer).
  • Pin supercluster parity with a regenerated C++ fixture; document the behaviour change and Float32 tolerance in docs.

Test plan

  • cd package/cpp && c++ -std=c++20 -I. ClusterEngineCore.test.cpp -o cluster_test && ./cluster_test
  • cd package && bun run test:ci (149 pass)
  • cd package && bun run typecheck
  • bun run lint && bun run format:check
  • bun run docs:build
  • cd example && bunx expo run:ios
  • cd example && bunx expo run:android

Notes

  • CHANGELOG.md is retired in favour of GitHub Releases from Conventional Commits; the migration note lives in docs/docs/compatibility.md.
  • Ported from the frozen WIP in claude/cluster-radius-normalization-12717c, rebased onto current main.

The projected radius used extent as a second control and MapView queried
zoom with the wrong tile size; the two cancelled for MapView but left
/engine and /hooks at half radius. Normalize r = radius / 2^z and let
viewportTileSize select geo-viewport 256 vs clusterer extent 512.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected cluster-radius scaling so clustering behavior aligns with Supercluster. If you tuned engine or hook radius values to match an earlier release, halve them to preserve the previous appearance.
    • Corrected the zoom level used by map-region cluster queries.
  • New Features

    • Added the viewportTileSize option to control zoom selection independently of clustering extent. Its default is based on extent; use 256 for MapView compatibility or 512 for react-native-clusterer compatibility.
    • Documented clustering compatibility and the differences that can affect edge cases.

Walkthrough

The C++ engine now computes per-zoom radius as radius / 2^zoom. Region zoom selection uses a separate viewportTileSize option, with 256 for the MapView compatibility layer and 512 as the engine default. Tests and documentation cover parity and compatibility behavior.

Changes

Clustering geometry and viewport zoom

Layer / File(s) Summary
Radius normalization and parity
package/cpp/GeoUtils.hpp, package/cpp/ClusterEngineCore.hpp, package/cpp/ClusterEngineCore.test.cpp, package/scripts/generate-supercluster-parity-fixture.mjs, docs/docs/api/mapview.md, docs/docs/api/types.md, docs/docs/compatibility.md
The C++ engine now uses radius / 2^zoom for its per-zoom radius. Deterministic fixtures compare node and cluster counts with Supercluster. Documentation describes radius and extent behavior, parity results, and known precision and tie-breaking differences.
Viewport tile-size option and zoom calculation
package/src/engine/types.ts, package/src/engine/defaults.ts, package/src/engine/geometry.ts, package/src/engine/geometry.test.ts, package/src/engine/Supercluster.ts, package/src/engine/Supercluster.test.ts, package/src/engine/index.ts, package/src/hooks/useClusterIndex.ts, docs/docs/api/hooks.md, docs/docs/api/types.md
SuperclusterOptions adds viewportTileSize. Region zoom calculation uses this setting instead of extent; the default resolves to extent when not explicitly set. Tests cover 256 and 512 tile sizes, defaults, and independence from extent. The hook passes the option to index construction and rebuilds when it changes.
MapView tile-size integration
package/src/engine/defaults.ts, package/src/compat/MapView.tsx, package/src/__tests__/mapview/MapView.stability.test.tsx, docs/docs/compatibility.md
The MapView compatibility layer passes GEO_VIEWPORT_TILE_SIZE to cluster index construction and region zoom calculation. The stability test uses the revised zoom levels, and the compatibility guide describes the defaults and prior behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e84c7

The clustering fix looks sound. The docs overstate parity, mention a MapView override that does not exist, and give migration advice that is only correct for the default extent. Correct these before merge so users are not misled.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e84c7

The geometry changes are intentional and documented, but the corrected zoom mapping enables uncapped spiderfy rendering across a broader range of regions. Dense marker datasets could consequently exhaust rendering resources or stall the hosting application. This is a conditional client-availability risk; no broader privilege or data-access expansion was demonstrated.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The 256px MapView zoom mapping broadens exposure of the existing uncapped spiderfy renderer. With spiralEnabled enabled by default, a qualifying dense cluster automatically expands into every leaf marker and connector during rendering. If a consuming application accepts less-trusted marker data, many co-located points can amplify client memory and rendering work at regions that previously remained clustered. The renderer was already uncapped at the base; physical camera reachability and remote input control are not established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated resource-exhaustion scope is a consuming MapView and its hosting application process. Exploitation through less-trusted data would require influence over marker cardinality or coordinates and a qualifying region. No supplied production integration establishes remote attacker access or cross-tenant, service, data-store or credential exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A large co-located marker dataset can remain clustered at maxZoom, pass the expansion gate, and cause unlimited leaf retrieval followed by one spiral position, marker and connector per leaf. This path existed at the base, including the 200-marker known-issue test; the PR increases its region-level reachability. Application stalling is a plausible availability outcome, not a measured exploit.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Finite-region checks and zoom clamping constrain geometry calculations. Spiderfy additionally requires spiralEnabled, currentZoom at maxZoom and a qualifying expansion zoom. These gates constrain when expansion occurs, but none limits the number of leaves rendered once enabled; setting spiralEnabled=false bypasses this rendering path.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bound spiderfy work before retrieving all leaves, using limited leaf retrieval and a marker/connector budget with a collapsed-cluster fallback. Keep spiderfy disabled where necessary until bounded expansion is available; truncating only after getAllLeaves would leave the initial retrieval and allocation unbounded by that budget.

Explanation

Issue #9's radius normalization, supercluster parity fixture, Float32 tolerance documentation, tile-size selection, and MapView compatibility objectives are addressed in the C++ engine, tests, and compatibility docs. However, #9 explicitly requires the CHANGELOG to note the /engine and /hooks behavior change. CHANGELOG.md says it is no longer updated and contains no such note; docs/docs/compatibility.md contains migration guidance instead. That does not meet the stated CHANGELOG criterion.

Do not offer a MapView tile-size override that does not exist.

MapView has no viewportTileSize prop and passes a fixed value of 256. A caller cannot use the documented override for that entry point. Limit this instruction to useClusterer and Supercluster, or expose and forward a MapView prop.

Restrict the radius migration advice to the default extent.

Halving a tuned radius preserves the old threshold only when extent is 512. For a custom extent, the equivalent new radius is oldRadius * 256 / extent. State that condition so users with another extent do not change their cluster output unintentionally.

Do not claim feature-for-feature parity from count-only checks. Equal node and cluster counts do not establish equal memberships. The compatibility guide also identifies cases where memberships can differ.
