(`t/geometry-roundtrip.t`, `t/20-inflate.t`), hence **accepted**.

## Consequences

- No hard dependency on `Geo::OGR`/GDAL; spatial reads and writes of the common
  geometry types work with pure Perl. Heavy operations require the user to have
  `Geo::OGR` installed and to call `to_ogr` explicitly.
- The codecs are this distribution's responsibility to keep correct against the
  OGC WKB/WKT specs; any change to the emitted/parsed bytes or text must keep the
  offline codec tests honest.
- Both PostGIS wire forms are supported transparently — a query may or may not
  wrap the column in `ST_AsEWKT` and inflation still produces the same Geometry.
- Writes always emit EWKT (never EWKB) in generated SQL; this is the intended,
  test-pinned form, not a limitation.
