The block a sweep holds is mostly what the chain must hold to run at all: the
source window it pulls, the rows it lands, the buffers its widest stage
allocates. The read-ahead queue is the one part the sizing CHOSE rather than
met, and what it buys is wall clock -- half a second of a 6.7 s run, by
_sweep_depth's own measurement. A sweep about to refuse has no clock to buy.

So it stops buying it. Three resident source regions become one and the search
runs once more; only if that does not fit either does it refuse, now naming both
figures so a reader knows which one to clear. On a chain whose stage buffers
dominate the band is narrow, 1.31x to 1.34x on the tiling fixture; on a
pointwise one it is 2.5x. Inside the band the alternative was not a slower run
but no run.

_sweep_depth had to learn to go down before it goes up: a tile found without the
queue, swept with one, would hold what the sizing was never told about -- the
budget's promise lost to a default nobody revisited. And _keeps_the_block now
asks the search rather than _sweep_tile, which falls back: a depth that cannot
afford the block would otherwise come back holding it, and every depth would
look affordable.

The refusal test's own budget stopped refusing, which is the feature: half of
one row's queued price is bought by the serial retry. It is now set under the
serial price, and asserts both figures are named.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Sweep tiling now reduces read-ahead when queued memory exceeds the budget and retries serial execution before refusal. OME-Zarr utilities now load and write remote stores, support lazy stepped-slice fallbacks, and use URI-aware loading across metadata and pyramid paths.

Changes

Sweep budget handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Affordable tile selection
konfai/data/patching.py
_sweep_depth reduces read-ahead until the selected tile fits. _tile_within returns the tile and priced memory without raising budget errors.
Serial fallback validation
konfai/data/patching.py, tests/unit/test_sweep_tiling.py
_sweep_tile retries with depth zero when read-ahead exceeds the budget. Tests verify serial sizing and the updated refusal message.

Remote OME-Zarr support

Layer / File(s) Summary
URI-aware OME-Zarr storage
konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py
OME-Zarr loading uses local paths or fsspec mappings. Remote metadata is staged locally and uploaded through the target filesystem. Metadata, level detection, displacement-field checks, and pyramid generation use the shared loader. Remote pyramid appending is rejected.
Lazy slice compatibility
konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py
Lazy reads retry unsupported stepped slices as unit-step spans and apply the requested steps locally.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bc035

The change is merge-ready after normal checks; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

A rabbit sized each tile with care
Read-ahead yielded empty air
Remote stores opened wide
Metadata hopped outside
Lazy slices stepped beside
