fix(data): keep GeoPackage rows without geometry - #1673
A GeoPackage row whose geometry is NULL, or an empty geometry, is a valid row: GeoPackage allows it, and RustGIS's own GeoPackage export writes a feature without geometry that way. Both readers (SQLite on the desktop, the pure-Rust reader for uploads in the browser) dropped these rows from whole reads and from chunked visits, which is how exports and conversions traverse a source. They counted nothing and said nothing. A table with one located and one unlocated feature read back as one feature, and converting it to another format lost the second row and its attributes.
These rows are now kept as features without geometry in whole reads and visits, the way GeoParquet's reader already keeps its null-geometry rows. A read or visit of an extent still leaves them out, since they have no place to match it. The data formats guide says so. Malformed geometry is still skipped and counted as before.
Testing
source::tests::geopackage_keeps_rows_without_geometry: a GeoPackage with 600 points plus one NULL and one empty geometry row, read with the R-tree, without it, and by the browser reader. A whole read and a chunked visit give all 602 rows, with the two unlocated rows' attributes and nothing skipped. A read and a visit of an extent give the 600 located rows. Without the fix, the whole read gives 600.
Two existing tests asserted the old behaviour (a row without geometry left out of a GeoPackage round trip and of a whole read and visit) and now expect it kept.
The regression test also covers blobs flagged empty that can't be read: a cut-off header, an undefined envelope code, a declared envelope that's missing, and an undefined header version. Each is skipped and counted.
cargo test -p rustgis-data --lib, clippy -D warnings on rustgis-data, and cargo xtask ci.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Whole-table GeoPackage reads, exports, and visits now retain rows with NULL or empty geometry, along with their attributes.
Extent-filtered reads and visits omit rows without a location.
Empty GeoPackage geometry is handled correctly; unreadable geometries remain excluded.
The behavior is consistent across indexed, scan-based, and in-memory GeoPackage readers.
Documentation
Clarified how GeoPackage reads and exports handle rows without geometry.
A GeoPackage row whose geometry is NULL or an empty geometry is a valid
row, and RustGIS's own GeoPackage export writes a feature without
geometry that way. Both readers (SQLite and the browser's pure-Rust
reader) dropped such rows from whole reads and chunked visits, without
a count or a notice, so a round trip or a conversion lost them and
their attributes.
They are now kept as features without geometry in whole reads and
visits, as the GeoParquet reader keeps null-geometry rows; a read of an
extent still leaves them out.

Nit (quality, can wait for the release quality pass): this line was the doc comment of visit_all. The new test is inserted between it and visit_all, so the new test's rustdoc starts with "Every feature of a complete traversal…", which describes visit_all, not this test. Moving the new test above this line, or dropping this stray first line, would keep each doc on the item it describes.
Bugs: None found. I checked the change against the desktop reader's query paths (whole read, R-tree extent read, scan, visit) and the browser reader's read and visit. The Row::Feature/Skip handling, the Samplerwants() accounting, and info.count (which is COUNT(*), so it already includes unlocated rows) are consistent. Unlocated rows are kept in whole reads and visits, and dropped only when an extent is given, because the R-tree path never returns them. The malformed-geometry path still skips and counts.
Security: None found. The change adds no new input handling beyond the existing blob checks.
Performance: None found. The attribute closure runs only for rows that are kept, and the browser path decodes nothing extra for unlocated rows.
Quality:
In crates/data/src/source/tests.rs, the new test was inserted between visit_all's doc comment and visit_all, so the test's rustdoc starts with a line describing visit_all. Posted inline at tests.rs:2385 (confidence high). Per AGENTS.md this is a quality point and can wait for the release quality pass.
AGENTS.md: No violations found.
Writers that still leave rows out (Shapefile, FlatGeobuf) are reported by the export path (crates/engine/src/cmd/share.rs:640), so the change adds no silent loss on export.
The data-formats doc is updated to match.
The new tests cover both the kept rows and the malformed-geometry skip count.
Not verified: I could not run cargo test or clippy here, so the test results rest on reading the code.

A blob flagged empty is only a valid empty geometry when its header is
whole (8 bytes and the envelope its flags give). A shorter one was kept
as a row without geometry; it is now skipped and counted, as other
unreadable geometry is. Also puts visit_all's doc comment back on it.

Behaviour change outside the readers (Bugs, medium confidence).is_empty_blob is also the predicate the GeoPackage editor uses, and this change applies to all of its callers, not only the readers the PR tests:
gpkg/edit.rs:276: an attribute-only edit of a row whose blob is flagged empty but cut off calls self.geometry(old).ok_or_else(|| self.shape_error())?. Before, that cut-off blob read as an empty geometry and the save went through. Now the save fails with a shape error.
gpkg/edit.rs:401 (stored_extent, non-strict): same outcome for edited keys.
gpkg/edit.rs:753: the ST_IsEmpty function the editor registers returns 0 for the cut-off blob. The R-tree triggers in gpkg.rs:995-1012 branch on that, so they take the non-empty path and call ST_MinX and the other bound functions, which return NULL for this blob.
Failing the save may well be the right outcome for a malformed row, and it matches the "unusable results are errors" rule. But it is a change to the write path that the PR description doesn't mention and no test covers. Either scope the stricter check to the readers and keep the editor's predicate as it was, or add an editor test for a cut-off empty blob (attribute edit on that row, and an R-tree maintenance check) and say in the PR what the user now sees.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Agreed. Fixed in d7eb5ab: is_empty_blob is back to its flag-only meaning, so the editor and its R-tree triggers behave as before. The whole-header check is a separate is_whole_empty_blob, used only by the two readers.
Editor behaviour changed through a shared predicate (medium confidence). is_empty_blob is also used by the GeoPackage editor, so a cut-off empty-flagged blob now fails attribute-only saves at gpkg/edit.rs:276 and :401, and reads as non-empty to the ST_IsEmpty R-tree triggers. Nothing in the PR tests or describes this. Posted inline on gpkg_blob.rs:10.
Security
None found. The changed code has no unsafe or unwrap use, and the new header check runs before any indexing.
Performance
None found. The attribute decode is now skipped for rows that are dropped, which is a small gain.
Quality (left for the release quality pass)
The "keep or skip a geometry-less row" decision is repeated in three places: gpkg.rsfeature(), gpkg_mem.rsread(), and gpkg_mem.rsvisit_chunks. A shared helper would keep them in step.
The comment at gpkg_mem.rs:283 repeats the doc comment on read() at line 273.
The data-formats sentence "kept … in whole reads and exports" is ambiguous. Exports to Shapefile or GeoJSON still drop these rows, with a notice. Saying "exports to GeoPackage" would be clearer.
AGENTS.md
Never silent (low confidence). An extent read drops geometry-less rows without a notice. This follows GeoParquet and is documented, and out-of-extent features are dropped silently too, so I read it as a query rather than data loss. Flagging it because the rule is strict.
Checked and found correct
The desktop reader (gpkg.rsread, visit_chunks) and the browser reader (gpkg_mem.rs) agree on whole reads and extent reads.
Sampler::wants() is called once per row, so matched counts the kept rows consistently.
envelope_len keeps the same mapping as before, and undefined codes still return None.
info.count uses COUNT(*), so it includes NULL rows, which matches the test's 603.
The R-tree rows and fixtures in the new test are consistent with its expected counts.
Two earlier threads are already handled and I left them alone. One was the stray doc comment on visit_all, now corrected in the diff. The other was the truncated empty blob, fixed in 2334e48.
Not run: I could only read the code, so the tests were not built or executed.

…eaders
The whole-header check for blobs flagged empty applies to the readers
only (is_whole_empty_blob), so the GeoPackage editor and its R-tree
triggers keep treating a flagged-empty blob as before. The readers'
test adds an undefined envelope code and a declared envelope that is
missing, both skipped and counted.

Bug (high confidence): a blob flagged empty whose header is cut off or has an undefined envelope code fails the guard on the first arm, so the next arm keeps it as a geometry-less feature in whole reads and visits. It is neither skipped nor counted, which contradicts the doc comment on is_whole_empty_blob and the PR's claim that malformed geometry is still skipped and counted.
geopackage_keeps_rows_without_geometry expects rows 603–605 (47500011, 4750001b0f000000, 475000130f000000) to be skipped, giving (602, 3). With this code they are kept, giving 605 features and skipped == 0, so the test should fail. I have not run it. This also reverses the earlier thread on validating empty-flagged blobs before retaining rows (marked resolved in 2334e48, and claimed addressed in d7eb5ab). Unreadable empty blobs should fall through to Row::Bad:
Suggested change
ValueRef::Blob(b)if !is_whole_empty_blob(b) => b,
let blob = match r.get_ref(1)? {
// Flagged empty but cut off, or with an envelope code the standard doesn't define: unreadable.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
This one doesn't hold. The first arm is Blob(b) if !is_whole_empty_blob(b), negated. A cut-off or undefined-code blob fails is_whole_empty_blob, so it takes this first arm and goes to split_blob. split_blob returns None for a blob flagged empty, so the row is Row::Bad, skipped and counted. It never reaches the arm that keeps a row without geometry. geopackage_keeps_rows_without_geometry asserts (602, 3) for rows 603–605 in both readers, and it passes on this head.

Same bug in the browser reader's read (high confidence). A flagged-empty blob that is cut off or has an undefined envelope code fails is_whole_empty_blob, so it reaches the arm below and is kept as a geometry-less feature, uncounted. The test expects it skipped and counted (skipped == 3). Give unreadable empty blobs their own arm, counted as skipped:

Same as on gpkg.rs: the guard is negated, so a malformed empty-flagged blob takes this arm and split_blob refuses it (skipped += 1). Covered by the passing (602, 3) assertion for the browser reader.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Same bug in the browser reader's visit_chunks (high confidence). The cut-off or undefined-envelope empty blob falls to the Val::Blob(_) if native.is_none() => None arm and is pushed as a geometry-less feature, so whole visits disagree with the counted skip the test expects. Count it as skipped here too:
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Same here: a malformed empty-flagged blob takes this arm, split_blob refuses it, and out.skipped counts it. The visit summary in the test expects 3 skipped.
Malformed empty GeoPackage blobs are kept, not skipped (high confidence, from reading; the test was not run). A blob flagged empty whose header is cut off, or whose envelope code is undefined, fails is_whole_empty_blob. The next arm then keeps it as a geometry-less feature, uncounted, in whole reads and visits. This happens in gpkg.rs:313 and in both gpkg_mem.rs paths (read at 282, visit_chunks at 342). geopackage_keeps_rows_without_geometry expects rows 603–605 to be skipped, giving (602, 3), but the code gives 605 features and skipped == 0. This also regresses the earlier "validate empty-flagged blobs before retaining rows" thread, which was marked resolved. It contradicts the PR's own claim that malformed geometry is still skipped and counted. Suggested fixes are on the three inline comments.
Security: none found.
Performance: none found.
Quality: nothing worth raising now.
AGENTS.md: the "Never silent" rule is broken by the bug above. Nothing else found.
Earlier threads: 5 existing threads reviewed. I re-raised one (the resolved gpkg.rs validation thread, because the code it points at has changed and the problem remains). I folded the envelope-code and four-byte-fixture thread into the bug above. I left alone the gpkg_blob.rs:10 thread about editor callers, since is_empty_blob is unchanged in this diff and the concern no longer applies. The tests.rs doc-placement nit is already fixed in the diff.

Resolves the GeoPackage row of the data formats guide: main's wording,
with this branch's sentence on rows without geometry.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…empty row
The readers keep a blob flagged empty as a row without geometry only
when its header is version 0, the one GeoPackage defines; another
version is unreadable, skipped and counted. The test adds such a row.
Two export tests from main counted 300 features read back from a
GeoPackage export of 301; the 301st has no geometry and is now kept, so
they expect 301.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Merged main (d0d1c3d). The only conflict was the GeoPackage row of the data formats guide: main's wording, plus this branch's sentence on rows without geometry.
A blob flagged empty is kept as a row without geometry only when its header is version 0 (c587620).
Two export tests from main (fix(data): preserve links and permissions when saving #1683), a_typeless_layer_exports_the_same_geopackage_streamed_or_whole and a_projected_streamed_geopackage_of_a_mixed_layer_keeps_every_kind, counted 300 features read back from a GeoPackage export of 301. Their fixture's 301st feature has no geometry, and this PR's reader keeps it, so they now expect 301 (c587620).
Reviewed the 6-file diff against the base branch, the three GeoPackage read paths (gpkg.rs, gpkg_mem.rs, gpkg_blob.rs), the export path (export.rs, io.rs), and the editor's reader (gpkg/edit.rs). I did not run the tests; I checked the new fixtures against the code by reading.
Bugs
None confirmed. The three open threads say cut-off or undefined-envelope empty blobs are kept as geometry-less features (gpkg.rs:378, gpkg_mem.rs:341, gpkg_mem.rs:401). I traced it and that is wrong. Such a blob fails is_whole_empty_blob, so it takes the first arm and reaches split_blob. That returns None for any blob with the empty flag, so the row becomes Row::Bad and is counted as skipped. The author's rebuttal holds, and the test's (602, 3) assertion follows from it. Nothing to re-post.
Unverified consumer impact (confidence ~30%). Geometry-less rows now reach every consumer of a GeoPackage layer: map, analysis, Python and the assistant. The analysis tools already notice and skip null geometry (for example tools.rs:3176), but I did not check each consumer. The PR body only covers the readers. Worth a quick check, or a line in the PR description.
Quality
Editor and readers now disagree on the same malformed row (confidence ~50%).gpkg/edit.rs:462 (geometry), :631 (stored_extent) and :744 (native_extent), which are unchanged, still treat any blob with the empty flag as a valid empty geometry. So the editor loads a truncated or undefined-envelope empty row as a geometry-less feature. The readers now skip and count the same row. Changing is_empty_blob would also change the ST_IsEmpty trigger function, which the earlier thread rightly avoided. The better fix is a deliberate choice: have the editor use is_whole_empty_blob, or document why the two differ.
Version rule applied unevenly (confidence ~60%, nit).is_whole_empty_blob refuses a nonzero header version, and its doc says version 0 is "the one GeoPackage defines". split_blob does not check the version for non-empty blobs, so those are still read as version 0. This can wait for the release quality pass.
Extent reads drop geometry-less rows with no count. I did not raise this. Those rows have no location, so they are treated like features outside the extent, which the docs state.
Security
None. The new code uses get() throughout, allocates nothing, and reads only header bytes.
Performance
None. is_whole_empty_blob is an O(1) header check per row. Sampler counting is unchanged for geometry rows.
AGENTS.md
No unwrap, expect or panic in non-test code. No std::time, so wasm is unaffected (gpkg_blob is shared with the browser reader, which is fine).
Never silent: malformed empty blobs now count as skipped in whole reads and visits, where they used to be dropped silently. Good. Clean rows get no notice, as the rule asks.
Export losses are reported. KML and GPX count geometry-less features via without_geometry, and Shapefile and FlatGeobuf report them in left_out.
Docs (data-formats.md) match the behaviour.
Earlier concerns
I left 10 earlier threads alone. Seven are resolved, outdated or answered, and the three open cut-off-blob claims are not correct on this head, as explained under Bugs.
Change size
Compared: the whole PR against main (merge base 32ea10d to PR head c587620).
Geometryless rows reaching other consumers: they already did before this PR. GeoParquet's reader keeps null-geometry rows, and the GeoPackage editor loads a NULL geometry as none, so the map, the analysis tools, Python and the exports already handle features without geometry. As you note, the exports report the ones they can't write.
Editor and readers on a malformed empty-flagged blob: the editor's is_empty_blob was kept unchanged on purpose, after your earlier point about its R-tree triggers. Bringing the editor onto the stricter check is a separate decision. Left for the release quality pass.
The version rule only for empty blobs: also left for the release quality pass. split_blob reads any header version for blobs with geometry, as it did before this PR.

A GeoPackage row whose geometry is NULL, or an empty geometry, is a valid row: GeoPackage allows it, and RustGIS's own GeoPackage export writes a feature without geometry that way. Both readers (SQLite on the desktop, the pure-Rust reader for uploads in the browser) dropped these rows from whole reads and from chunked visits, which is how exports and conversions traverse a source. They counted nothing and said nothing. A table with one located and one unlocated feature read back as one feature, and converting it to another format lost the second row and its attributes.
These rows are now kept as features without geometry in whole reads and visits, the way GeoParquet's reader already keeps its null-geometry rows. A read or visit of an extent still leaves them out, since they have no place to match it. The data formats guide says so. Malformed geometry is still skipped and counted as before.
Testing
source::tests::geopackage_keeps_rows_without_geometry: a GeoPackage with 600 points plus one NULL and one empty geometry row, read with the R-tree, without it, and by the browser reader. A whole read and a chunked visit give all 602 rows, with the two unlocated rows' attributes and nothing skipped. A read and a visit of an extent give the 600 located rows. Without the fix, the whole read gives 600.cargo test -p rustgis-data --lib, clippy-D warningsonrustgis-data, andcargo xtask ci.Related issue
