cairo_parcels_legacy.geojson is a parcel snapshot stitched together from three legacy provincial systems before unification, and I need to turn it into the foundation for our new central registry. Can you clean it up so we end up with one canonical record per parcel? When duplicates exist, keep the record with the earliest record_seq, and discard any polygon fragments smaller than 1 m². Please write the result to parcels_canonical.geoparquet including these columns: parcel_id (the join key), parcel_class, district, and area_m2. Every feature must be a MultiPolygon, and there should be no null or empty geometries, no invalid geometries, no duplicate geometries, and no artifact slivers.

Let me understand the data:

1. It's a GeoJSON file with EPSG:22992 CRS (Egyptian Red Belt / Modified, metric coordinates)
2. It has features with properties: parcel_id, record_seq, parcel_class, district, area_m2
3. I need to:
   - Keep one record per parcel_id (the one with earliest record_seq)
   - Remove polygon fragments < 1 m²
   - Ensure geometries are MultiPolygon (not Polygon)
   - No null/empty/invalid geometries
   - No duplicate geometries
   - No slivers
   - Output: parcels_canonical.geoparquet with columns: parcel_id, parcel_class, district, area_m2

Let me first explore the data to understand its structure and issues.

Interesting - all 290 parcel_ids are unique, so there are no duplicates by parcel_id. But the user says "when duplicates exist, keep the record with the earliest record_seq". Let me look more carefully - perhaps there are parcels with same geometry but different parcel_id? Or the user's wording is just saying "handle duplicates as a general rule".

Let me check for duplicate geometries and look at the data more carefully.

Let me understand the data:

1. 290 features, but parcel_ids are all unique (290 unique IDs). So no duplicate parcel_ids.
2. But there are 50 duplicate geometries (25 pairs, each pair has same geometry but different parcel_id? or same parcel_id?).

Wait, "Parcel IDs with >1 record: 0" - so each parcel_id appears exactly once. But there are duplicate geometries - meaning two different parcel_ids can have the same geometry? That seems odd but it's what the data shows.

Actually wait - "Parcel IDs with >1 record: 0" means no parcel_id repeats. So each parcel_id is unique. But there are 50 duplicate geometries. This means 50 pairs of features with different parcel_ids but identical geometries.

Let me re-examine. The user says "stitched together from three legacy provincial systems before unification" and "When duplicates exist, keep the record with the earliest record_seq."

But there are no duplicate parcel_ids. However, there ARE duplicate geometries. So maybe the "duplicates" the user refers to are records that represent the same physical parcel (same geometry) but from different legacy systems, thus having different parcel_ids and record_seq values.

So the logic would be:
- Group by geometry (since same geometry = same physical parcel)
- Within each group, keep the record with the earliest (smallest) record_seq
- Discard polygon fragments smaller than 1 m² (area < 1)

Also: 20 invalid geometries, 50 geometries with area < 1 m².

Let me check which features have area < 1 and which are invalid to understand the overlap.

Actually, let me look at the data more carefully. 50 geometries with area 0.0 and 50 duplicate geometries. Let me see if there are small-slop polygons too.

Let me write a comprehensive solution.

Let me understand the data:

1. **290 features** total - 260 Polygons, 30 MultiPolygons
2. **290 unique parcel_ids** - so parcel_id is already unique... but there are duplicate geometries (50 duplicates → 25 pairs)
3. But wait - the user said "When duplicates exist, keep the record with the earliest record_seq" - so duplicates are identified by the same parcel_id? No, parcel_id is already unique (290 unique). Let me check if there are duplicate parcel_ids with different record_seq values...

Actually re-reading: "290 unique parcel_ids" means all 290 parcel_ids are distinct, so there are no duplicate parcel_ids. But there are 50 duplicate geometries (25 pairs). So perhaps duplicate means "same geometry" regardless of parcel_id?

Let me look more carefully. The duplicate geometries are pairs - same geometry appearing twice with different parcel_id. The user says "When duplicates exist, keep the record with the earliest record_seq". So among records with identical geometry, keep the one with smallest record_seq.

Also:
- 50 geometries with area < 1 m² (including the 20 invalid ones which are zero-area bowties)
- 0 null/empty geometries
- All parcel_ids are unique

Let me think about the approach:

1. Read the GeoJSON
2. For each feature, compute the geometry's area to filter out < 1 m²
3. For duplicate geometries, keep only the one with smallest record_seq
4. Ensure all geometries are MultiPolygon
5. Ensure all geometries are valid (fix invalid ones, or filter them out since they're zero-area bowties)
6. Write to GeoParquet with columns: parcel_id, parcel_class, district, area_m2

Actually, the zero-area invalid geometries are also < 1 m², so they'd be filtered out by the area filter anyway.

Let me write the script carefully.

Wait - there are 50 features with area < 1 m²? Let me check more carefully...

The output said "Areas < 1 m²: 50" - but the zero-area ones are 20 (all the invalid bowtie ones). Where do the other 30 come from?

Actually looking again: "Areas < 1 m²: 50" - so 50 features have area < 1.0. The 20 invalid ones have area 0.0, and there are 30 more small ones. Those 30 are probably the duplicates that are tiny fragments.

Wait... the 50 duplicate geometries (25 pairs) - the duplicates have the same geometry. But the area check is against individual geometries. So if there are 25 pairs (50 features total) with duplicate geometries, and their area might be fine... Let me re-examine.

The output said "Duplicate geometries: 50" - meaning 50 features have geometries that appear at least twice. Since each appears exactly twice (Count 2), there are 25 pairs = 50 features involved.

And "Areas < 1 m²: 50" - 50 features have area less than 1. These could be different features than the duplicates.

Let me check by looking at a few features more carefully to understand the structure.

Let me just write a comprehensive script that handles everything.

Plan:
1. Load the GeoJSON
2. Build a GeoDataFrame
3. Group by geometry (WKT) - for duplicates within same geometry, keep min record_seq
4. Filter out geometries with area < 1 m²
5. Convert all geometries to MultiPolygon
6. Make geometries valid (buffer(0))
7. Handle any remaining duplicates (after area filter, there might be geometrically identical features)
8. Output to GeoParquet with the required columns

Let me also compute area_m2 from the actual geometry rather than using the stored one.

Actually wait - the CRS is EPSG:22992 which uses meters, so area from shapely should be in m² directly. Let me verify.

EPSG:22992 = Egypt Red Belt / TM. Yes, units are meters.

Let me write the script.

Actually, I need to check if there are really no duplicate parcel_ids with different record_seq values. The user says "When duplicates exist, keep the record with the earliest record_seq" - suggesting duplicates exist by parcel_id. But from my analysis all parcel_ids are unique...

Hmm, maybe "duplicates" refers to duplicate geometries (same shape/shared vertices) rather than duplicate parcel_ids. Or maybe it's both. Let me just handle duplicate geometries as described.

Actually, let me re-read: "When duplicates exist, keep the record with the earliest record_seq, and discard any polygon fragments smaller than 1 m²."

"Duplicates" could mean features with the same parcel_id (which don't exist), or duplicate geometries. Since all parcel_ids are unique but there are duplicate geometries, I'll interpret "duplicates" as duplicate geometries.

Let me write a robust script.

Also important: the user says "no duplicate geometries" in the output. So after filtering by area and deduplicating by geometry, we need to make sure no two features have the same geometry.

Let me write the script now.

The output looks good. Let me verify the result by reading the geoparquet file to confirm everything is correct.

Note: the count here is 290 features. 50 were removed for area < 1 m². And then 50 were dropped as duplicate geometries. Wait - but the 50 with area < 1m² are the same 20 invalid + 30 others with small area? Let me think...

Actually, looking at the initial analysis:
- 50 duplicate geometries (25 pairs)
- 20 invalid geometries (all zero-area bowtie shapes)
- 50 features with area < 1 m²

So there's overlap. The 20 invalid (zero-area) ones are part of the 50 area < 1 m². And the 50 duplicate geometries dropped - those include the other members of each duplicate pair.

Let me see: 290 total. 50 removed for area < 1m² = 240 remaining. Then 50 duplicates dropped from those 240 = 190 remaining. That seems right.

But wait - we first remove small-area (<1 m²), which removes 50 features. The 50 area<1 features include the 20 invalid ones. Then from the remaining 240, duplicate geometries (by WKT) are removed - 50 duplicates found among the larger features. So 240 - 50 = 190 final.

That seems correct. Let me verify the output file exists and sanity-check.

Everything looks good. Let me verify the file exists and also double-check the coordinate magnitudes are sensible for EPSG:22992 (meters). The coordinates ~640,000 / 815,000 are in meters, consistent with the Egypt Red Belt projection. The CRS is EPSG:22992 which is correct.

Let me also check if there's any issues with the area_m2 precision - the original had area_m2 as 1200.0 which seems to match. And we have no nulls, no empties, no invalids, all MultiPolygon, no duplicate geometries, no duplicate parcel_ids. 

Let me confirm the output file exists.
