Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's LineString WKT and the requested ST_Buffer parameters, then inspect Spatial4j's geometry and buffering capabilities. Determine whether the library can produce a Polygon with round end caps and joins at the requested distance; done means the supported behavior and any required API or limitation are documented and tested.
