Research direction

Start with xrspatial/emerging_hotspots.py and compare its public surface with the README feature matrix. Review the unresolved decisions in #2930 and the critical issue in #2804, then run the listed accuracy, security, performance, and API-consistency sweeps. Done means no CRITICAL or HIGH findings remain and the notebook example is addressed.
