CI went red on every PR without a code change: pip now resolves ngff-zarr >= 0.44, whose zarrista backend reads a remote URL string as a local path, refuses stepped slices, and writes nothing a remote filesystem can see. Reproduced identically on main with the same versions.

This carries the compatibility change alone, so every open PR can rebase on it: the NGFF skeleton of a remote store is written locally and uploaded through the root's own filesystem; a remote root is opened as a key-to-bytes mapping first, the URL second for older releases; a lazy array that refuses a stepped slice is read over the unit-step span and stepped in numpy.

Verified under zarr 3.1.6 and 3.3.0 with ngff-zarr 0.40, 0.44 and 0.45. #169 contains the same change and merges cleanly on top; merging this first turns #170-#174 green after a rebase.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The OME-Zarr utilities now support URI-aware local and remote loading, remote metadata skeleton creation, and fallback handling for unsupported stepped lazy reads. Image, displacement, pyramid-level, pyramid, and metadata queries use the shared loader.

Changes

OME-Zarr URI support

Layer / File(s) Summary
URI-aware loading and metadata access
konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py
A shared loader uses direct local access or an fsspec mapper for remote stores. Image, displacement, level, pyramid, and metadata queries use this loader.
Stepped lazy-read fallback
konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py
Unsupported stepped selections read a unit-step span and apply the requested steps locally. Negative-step slices use the corresponding ascending span before local slicing.
Remote metadata skeleton creation and pyramid restrictions
konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py
Store creation writes local metadata directly or uploads a temporary skeleton through the remote filesystem. Existing remote contents are removed first. Remote pyramid creation and appending raise DatasetManagerError.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Poem

A rabbit maps each distant store
And reads its slices from shore to shore
Stepped windows hop, then land in line
Metadata travels through the file
OME-Zarr blooms in paths remote

In `@konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py`:
- Line 1131: Update write_ome_zarr and the surrounding pyramid-level setup to
preserve the original remote URI string instead of converting it with
Path(store_path). Ensure _from_ngff_zarr receives the intact URI for loading the
base image, while using a temporary local path for metadata scratch-store
operations that currently rely on Path.with_name.
- Line 652: Update the span construction around the index comprehension so
negative-step slices preserve their source range: create an ascending unit-step
span covering the requested bounds before applying the original negative step.
Ensure a slice such as slice(8, 1, -2) yields indices 8, 6, 4, and 2 rather than
an empty result, while leaving non-negative-step handling unchanged.

ngff-zarr >= 0.44 (the zarrista backend) reads a remote URL string as a
local path, refuses stepped slices, and writes nothing a remote
filesystem can see. The NGFF skeleton of a remote store is now written
locally and uploaded through the root's own filesystem; a remote root is
opened as a key-to-bytes mapping first, the URL second for older
releases; and a lazy array that refuses a stepped slice is read over the
unit-step span and stepped in numpy. Verified under zarr 3.1.6 and 3.3.0
with ngff-zarr 0.40, 0.44 and 0.45.
