Explanation

Issue #3171 has coding requirements. The pull request adds pgr_hawickUniqueCircuits with scalar and array start-vertex overloads, min_depth, max_depth, self_loops, and u_turn_on_edge. The C wrapper uses the unique-circuit processing mode. The SQL declarations, documentation, and pgTAP tests cover canonical circuits, parallel-edge duplicate removal, depth limits, self-loops, start vertices, defaults, and U-turn behavior. The implementation matches the requested functionality.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within issue #3171. The source and SQL files implement the new function. The pgTAP tests verify its behavior. The documentation, documentation queries, release notes, signatures, build files, and translation updates support the new public function. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files. (25 skipped: 25 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Poor tradeoff

Negative edge IDs collide with the circuit-start marker.

The wrapper treats any row with a negative edge value as the depth-0 start of a new circuit (src/circuits/hawickUniqueCircuits.c:103-109). That value is the input edge id, which the documented contract allows to be any integer. A circuit that traverses an edge with a negative id therefore gets a new circuit ID and a depth of 0. The rows after it are numbered under that new circuit, so the circuit is split (src/circuits/hawickUniqueCircuits.c:117-128).

Store the start marker in a field that an edge ID cannot hold. Do not use the sign of edge. Rejecting negative IDs would conflict with the documented ANY-INTEGER contract for the edge id column. The same marker logic also appears in src/circuits/hawickCircuits.c:99-113.

Note: this behaviour predates this PR (already present at merge base 2cc236d3e51d); the change keeps it reachable.

Compare each path's last node with its start vertex.

The K4 closure check compares node with start_vid only on the edge = -1 row. That row starts each circuit. No check reads the last row of each path_id. An open path such as 1→2→3→4 passes the checks in this assertion, so a regression that returns open paths would not fail this test.

Rows are ordered by seq, and the start row comes first. Compare the last row's node with the start row's node for each path.

Suggested fix
               AND bool_and(node = start_vid) FILTER (WHERE edge = -1)
+              AND (array_agg(node ORDER BY seq DESC))[1] = max(start_vid) FILTER (WHERE edge = -1)

52-52: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Check the last node of each circuit against start_vid.

The closed assertion compares node with start_vid only on the depth-0 marker rows (edge = -1). A path that ends at a different vertex still passes it, and the count, distinct-node, and cost checks also pass. Add a check on the last row of each path_id. The row with the highest seq is the last row.

start_vid must be aggregated in this grouped query because it is not in GROUP BY. max(start_vid) is constant per path, like the existing max(agg_cost).

Suggested fix
           count(*) FILTER (WHERE edge = -1) = 1
           AND count(DISTINCT node) FILTER (WHERE edge <> -1)
               = count(*) FILTER (WHERE edge <> -1)

Update Example 3 to show all five q7 circuits.

The q7 query returns five circuits. Example 3 draws three and omits the purple 1-2-1 and orange 1-4-1 two-edge circuits. Vertices 1-2 and 1-4 each have one connecting edge, so u_turn_on_edge => false keeps these U-turns. Draw all five circuits and renumber the path_id labels to match the result. Also revise the title, which says U-turns on the same edge are excluded.

Add #3171 to the 4.1.0 new experimental functions list.

This PR documents pgr_hawickUniqueCircuits as an experimental function, but files its issue under 4.1.0 Code enhancements. The 4.1.0 experimental-functions list in doc/src/release_notes.rst omits it. Move the entry to that list, and make the same change in NEWS.md.

Map start vertex 0 to a vertex request, not to all circuits.

The scalar overload sends start_vid 0 to an empty array. The C++ core reads an empty set as "every circuit". On a graph that contains vertex 0, the call returns circuits that do not contain it. Add a separate no-start overload, and pass every explicit value, including 0, as ARRAY[$2].

Update the scalar start-vertex overload in hawickUniqueCircuits so every
explicit start_vid, including 0, is passed as a single-vertex array; add a
separate no-start overload for requests covering all circuits.

Limit the U-turn check to two-hop circuits.

Setting u_turn_on_edge => false routes the graph through insert_edges_no_parallel. That changes arc 1→3 for every circuit that uses it. The triangle 1→3→2→1 moves from edge 3 (cost 3) to edge 4 (cost 3.5). The flag should affect only two-hop U-turns.

Review comment at @src/circuits/hawickUniqueCircuits.c at line 61:
Update the u_turn_on_edge handling in the hawickUniqueCircuits argument path so
it changes edge selection only for two-hop U-turn circuits; preserve the
existing edge assignment for longer circuits, including 1→3→2→1, rather than
routing all circuits through insert_edges_no_parallel.

LGTM, thanks!

A Claude Opus review found a few issues, which I'll send as a follow-up PR after this is merged (review details: sanak#8):

  • A negative edge id splits a circuit (also in pgr_hawickCircuits, #3173)
  • u_turn_on_edge => false also changes circuits that are not u-turns
  • Minor documentation and pgTAP fixes
  • A question: vertex 0 can't be requested, because 0 means "all circuits"

It would be good to have them before 4.1.0.
