refactor: consolidate duplicate haversine implementations, fix silent error suppression, add meaningful model tests

[Copilot]

Seven independent Haversine implementations existed across TypeScript and Python backends. Silent catch blocks were swallowing DB errors. The only Flutter test was expect(2 + 2, 4).

TypeScript: shared geo utility

Created engine-backend/src/modules/common/geo.util.ts as the single canonical implementation. Removed private haversineKm/haversine methods from four services:

// Before: private method duplicated in routing.controller.ts, pathfinding.service.ts,
//         route-options.service.ts, risk.service.ts
private haversineKm(lat1: number, lng1: number, lat2: number, lng2: number): number { ... }

// After: single shared export
import { haversineKm } from '../common/geo.util';

Python: canonical import from models.py

_haversine_km in models.py is now the single source. Removed duplicates in storage.py (module-level) and services.py (inline inside compute_navigation_route). Also promoted lazy inline imports (from datetime import timedelta, from math import exp) to module-level in services.py.

Fix silent DB error swallowing

// Before
.catch(() => { /* non-critical */ });

// After
.catch((err: unknown) => {
  this.logger.warn(`[ROUTE_CACHE] DB write failed (non-critical): ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}`);
});

Flutter: meaningful model tests

Replaced the 2 + 2 = 4 placeholder with 12 unit tests across all five model classes (DisruptionEvent, AreaNewsItem, SourceStatus, RiskResult, GeoArea, TrafficReason) covering both happy-path JSON parsing and missing-field defaults.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• sachet.ndma.gov.in

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Pull request overview

Consolidates duplicated Haversine distance logic into shared utilities (TS + Python), improves observability by logging previously swallowed DB errors, and replaces the Flutter placeholder test with model-focused unit tests.

Changes:

• Added a shared haversineKm utility in engine-backend and updated routing/risk services to use it.
• Centralized Python Haversine logic in app.models and updated storage.py / services.py to reuse it.
• Replaced the Flutter placeholder test with JSON parsing/defaults tests for several model classes.
