Research direction
Start by locating the geom2trace.default entry point and the handling that emits the geom_GeomCircle() warning. Reproduce the ggplot2-to-ggplotly example from the issue, then implement circle conversion so the resulting interactive plot displays the circles. Done means the warning is absent and circles render in ggplotly.
