Research direction

The issue mentions no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the geodesic and line-segment geometry APIs in Spatial4j, then determine the expected behavior for intersecting segments, including edge cases. Done should mean the library computes and verifies the intersection between two geodesics.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
