Improve README clarity and add comprehensive user scenario tests
This commit improves documentation and adds tests to prevent users
from encountering bugs in real-world usage.
## README Improvements
**Restructured for beginners:**
- Quick Start section at the top with working code
- Clear API examples with expected outputs
- Important Notes section highlighting common pitfalls
- Removed verbose version history
- Better formatting and organization
**Key additions:**
- "When to Use" section with clear recommendations
- Common mistakes and edge cases documented
- Thread safety warnings
- Empty tree behavior clearly stated
- Coordinate format validation explained
**Reduced from 234 to 244 lines** but much clearer and more actionable.
## Documentation Cleanup
Deleted unnecessary developer documentation:
- `docs/BUG_REPORT.md` (bugs fixed, no longer needed)
- `docs/SEGFAULT_SAFETY.md` (internal development doc)
- `docs/TEST_COVERAGE_SUMMARY.md` (internal)
- `docs/TEST_STRATEGY.md` (internal)
- `docs/TEST_VALIDATION_REPORT.md` (internal)
Only user-facing README remains.
## New User Scenario Tests (25 tests)
Created `tests/test_user_scenarios.py` to prevent real-world bugs:
### TestQuickStartScenarios (6 tests)
- Validates every README example actually works
- Basic usage, point queries, dynamic updates
- Object storage, intersections, save/load
### TestCommonUserMistakes (5 tests)
- Inverted coordinates (should raise error)
- Query before insert (returns empty)
- Query nonexistent region (returns empty)
- Erase nonexistent index (handled gracefully)
- Empty batch query (works correctly)
### TestRealWorldWorkflows (5 tests)
- GIS building footprints workflow
- Game collision detection
- Dynamic scene with moving objects
- Incremental data loading
- Save/reload/continue workflow
### TestEdgeCases (6 tests)
- Touching boxes behavior (closed interval)
- Very small boxes (< 0.001)
- Very large coordinates (1e6+)
- Many overlapping boxes (100+)
- Sparse distribution (far apart boxes)
- Empty→full→empty cycle
### Test3DAnd4DScenarios (3 tests)
- 3D voxel grid
- 4D spacetime data
## Test Results
All 25 user scenario tests: ✅ PASSED
Users can now:
1. Copy-paste README examples and they work
2. Understand common pitfalls before encountering them
3. See real-world usage patterns
4. Rely on comprehensive edge case coverage
The library is now much more user-friendly and reliable! 🎉1 parent fb71e18 commit 5e6d125
