Targets 1.8.3. Nothing is tagged here.

The refactor

ngff-zarr 0.44/0.45 absorbed what this backend was compensating for, so the compensation goes: Methods.DASK_BIN_SHRINK replaces the private bin-shrink pyramid (same statistic, and it accepts the extents and chunkings the wasm variant tripped on), to_ngff_zarr(metadata_only=True) replaces the one-voxel stand-in and the hand-rolled array creation, start_level=1 replaces the append graft and its scratch store, NgffImage.axes_types replaces the patch on coordinate systems, and root_attributes replaces the sidecar write-order hack. ome_zarr.py loses ~200 lines, and four documented traps become upstream's.

KonfAI now requires Python 3.11 and zarr 3 (ngff-zarr 0.45 requires it); the 3.10-era shims go with them (StrEnum, typing_extensions.Self, the GenericAlias guards, the zarr-2 capability checks).

Displacement fields: RFC-5 conformant

An axis-aligned field carries a real displacements transformation: ngff-zarr alone rebuilds an ITK transform from the store and displaces points exactly as the field says (tested to 1e-12). An oriented grid, which the spec cannot express, keeps its typed axis and its Direction in the sidecar. Every field store carries its components in spec order, marked as such.

⚠️ An OME-Zarr DVF store written by an earlier version is refused by name rather than read under a guessed convention (dx/dz could have been swapped silently). No published HF bundle ships one, verified.

Two fixes, measured

  • Fold pricing: a Resample before a Reduce is finally priced for the source window it pulls. On the reduction bench, the peak above the interpreter floor goes from 664 to 87 MiB for a 256 MiB budget; the plan becomes an upper bound instead of underestimating by a factor of five; a budget no region can hold is refused instead of being started.
  • v2 compressor pinned to byte-shuffled blosc-lz4: the new writer defaults to zstd-0, measured at +19% disk and about +11% on a read sweep of CT-like uint16.

Validation

Full pixi run check green; konfai-mcp 218, studio 112+29, apps/impact_reg 38; mypy over 154 files. Non-editable wheel verified in a clean venv (models/python/** PEP 420 plus the 16 catalogue .yml present). Backend A/B against 1.8.2: level 0 and whole pyramids byte-identical. ExaSPIM pipeline replayed: outputs byte-identical (12 stores, diff 0.0).

To decide at the tag

The upper bound on ngff-zarr: their minor versions break (0.44 carries an explicit BREAKING section) and the pin is open (>=0.45).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request raises the minimum Python version to 3.11, updates CI and dependencies, modernizes OME-Zarr storage and displacement handling, revises reduction memory planning, centralizes accumulation markers, and updates runtime compatibility code.

Changes

Python support and metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Python 3.11 support and project metadata
.github/workflows/*, pyproject.toml, */pyproject.toml, README.md, docs/source/*
Supported Python versions now start at 3.11. CI, publishing, package metadata, badges, and documentation use the updated baseline. Zarr dependencies now require Zarr 3 and ngff-zarr>=0.45.

OME-Zarr and data processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
OME-Zarr metadata and displacement storage
konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py, tests/unit/test_omezarr_*.py, tests/unit/test_imaging_formats.py
OME-Zarr operations now use memoized ngff-zarr multiscales metadata. Displacement fields use RFC-5 component ordering, transformations, validation, lazy store creation, preserved compression, and delegated pyramid generation.
Reduction memory pricing and budget fitting
konfai/data/case_reduction.py, konfai/data/patching/manager.py, tests/unit/test_case_reduction.py, tests/unit/test_sweep_tiling.py, tests/unit/test_transformer_workflow.py
Reduction plans separate pulled source bytes from decoded bytes. Budget fitting reprices candidate regions with binary search. region_reads() returns the complete BlockReads result.

Network and runtime behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Accumulated-layer routing helpers
konfai/network/network/base.py, konfai/network/network/network.py, konfai/network/network/measure.py
Shared helpers now mark, detect, strip, and resolve accumulated layer names, including nested networks. Routing and measurement use these helpers.
Runtime and compatibility cleanup
konfai-apps/konfai_apps/app_server.py, studio/tests/test_live_feed.py, konfai-mcp/konfai_mcp/server_experiments.py, konfai/utils/runtime/distributed.py, tests/unit/*
Timeout handling uses built-in TimeoutError. UTC conversion uses datetime.UTC. Zarr capability checks use zarr.config, and generic discovery no longer filters GenericAlias explicitly.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e4a3a

Pyramid displacement-field stores may lose their displacement-axis metadata when additional levels are appended, causing them to be read as ordinary three-channel images without an obvious failure. Merge should wait for this path to be fixed and tested, or for explicit owner acceptance of the risk.

Poem

A rabbit checks the Python gate,
Three bright versions hop in line.
Zarr pyramids stack up straight,
Memory plans now price each byte.
Marked-up layers route just fine,
And timeout clocks tick in time.

Comment thread konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py
ngff-zarr 0.44/0.45 upstreamed what this backend was compensating for, so the
compensation goes: Methods.DASK_BIN_SHRINK replaces the private bin-shrink
pyramid (same statistic, and it takes the extents and chunk layouts the wasm
one trapped on), to_ngff_zarr(metadata_only=True) replaces the one-voxel
stand-in and the hand-built array, start_level=1 replaces the append graft and
its scratch store, NgffImage.axes_types replaces the coordinate-system patch,
and root_attributes replaces the sidecar's write-ordering hack. ome_zarr.py
loses about 200 lines, and four documented traps become upstream's.

KonfAI now requires Python 3.11 and zarr 3: ngff-zarr 0.45 does, and the
3.10-era shims go with it (StrEnum, typing_extensions.Self, the GenericAlias
guards, the zarr-2 capability checks).

Displacement fields are stored the way the specification reads them. An
axis-aligned field carries a real RFC-5 displacements transformation, so
ngff-zarr alone rebuilds an ITK transform from the store and moves points
exactly as the field says; an oriented grid, which the specification cannot
express, keeps the typed axis and its Direction in the sidecar. Every field
store holds spec-ordered components, marked as such, and one KonfAI wrote
before this is refused by name rather than read under a guess.

The zarr v2 compressor is pinned to byte-shuffled blosc-lz4: the new writer
defaults to zstd-0, which measured +19 % on disk and about +11 % on a streamed
read of CT-like uint16.

Two fixes ride along, both measured. A Resample before a Reduce is priced for
the source window it pulls, which the fold charged nothing for: on the
reduction bench the peak above the interpreter floor falls from 664 to 87 MiB
against a 256 MiB budget, the plan becomes an upper bound instead of
under-stating by 5x, and a budget no region fits is refused rather than run.
And the patch-accumulation marker is read in four helpers instead of nine call
sites, the two-branch expression that found an accumulator's owner collapsing
to one, nesting included.
