Closes #599

Adds RFC-3 support (expanded axis count, names, types and order), enabled only
for OME-Zarr 0.9.dev1. Versions 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 keep their axis limits,
since their schemas cap axes at 5 and require 2 or 3 space axes.

0.9.dev1 is the version string proposed in ome/ngff-spec#190,
an open WIP that describes it as 0.6rc1 plus RFC-3, RFC-4 and probably
#87; the draft currently carries
RFC-3 only. Glencoe Software writes the same string in
bioformats2raw#330.

RFC-4 needs no work here: v09 re-exports the v0.6 model except for Axis,
CoordinateSystem and Metadata, which it widens, so anatomical orientation
already round-trips at that version.

How it works

  • In memory: NgffImage and Metadata carry no axis restriction.
  • Writing: refused if the target version serializes an axis model it cannot
    express.
  • Reading: unchanged, still permissive; validation applies the axis rules of
    the version the store declares.
to_ome_zarr("out.zarr", six_axis_image, version="0.5")
# ValueError: Cannot write OME-Zarr version="0.5" ... Pass version="0.9.dev1".

to_ome_zarr("out.zarr", six_axis_image, version="0.9.dev1")   # ok

The gate sees exactly what the target version writes. A v0.4/v0.5 target
serializes one flat axes and drops the coordinate systems, so a system the
downgrade discards is not gated: Python reaches that set by gating after
Metadata.to_version, TypeScript by checking the target version in axisViews.
Both refusal messages are byte-identical and pinned as the same literal in both
suites.

0.9.dev1 is opt-in. LATEST stays 0.6.dev4, so nothing changes for existing
callers. OME publishes no 0.9.dev1 JSON Schema yet, so none is bundled and
validate=True says so rather than failing obscurely. ngff-zarr upgrade --to 0.9.dev1 is accepted alongside the library API.

One bug fixed

An axis with no type is rejected on read, although the 0.4 schema allows it.

Four things to flag

Writing now applies the axis rules. The writer applied none before this PR,
so a 6-axis model serialized happily at 0.5. That is the point of the gate, but
it is a behaviour change for anyone deliberately writing such stores, and the
only way to keep writing them is version="0.9.dev1".

The space-axis floor is new below 0.9.dev1. Only the ceiling of 3 space
axes was enforced; the 0.4 schema also states minContains: 2, and the upstream
conformance corpus files one_space_axes under invalid/. validate_structural
and the writer now reject a single space axis at 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6. The v0.6
axes schema is a oneOf, so an RFC-5 array coordinate system, which carries
no space axis, is exempt from that floor (the 3-axis cap and the (z, y, x)
suffix check still apply).

A non-canonical axis class order is refused. Axis order is a spec MUST and
validate_structural rejects it, so the writer rejects it too and the two
finally agree. #623 normalizes generated axes to (t, c, z, y, x), so the
Python pipeline produces a canonical order and a model that reaches the gate out
of order comes from the caller.

That normalization is Python only: the TypeScript port has no equivalent, and no
lazy transpose to build one on, so a model Python normalizes is refused by the
TypeScript writer below 0.9.dev1. Worth its own issue.

The ingestion path does not accept an RFC-3 axis model yet. to_ngff_image
caps dims at the {c, x, y, z, t} vocabulary and 5 axes, and to_multiscales
raises on any other name, so an RFC-3 model enters the library through
from_ome_zarr or a hand-built Metadata rather than through the array
ingestion helpers. Also worth its own issue.

On axis-names-unique

The new rule states RFC-3 rule 5, "axis names MUST NOT be repeated within a
dataset". No released schema carries it: 0.4 and 0.5 say nothing, and 0.6 has
only a non-normative description. Applying it below 0.9.dev1 is therefore a
strictness choice rather than a spec MUST of those versions, and the rule
reference says so. The case-insensitivity half of rule 5 is a SHOULD and is not
enforced.

The rule's position in the fail-fast cascade is locked in both ports: the shared
EXPECTED_EVALUATION_ORDER now runs eleven stages with axis-names-unique at
position 5, and moving the call in either direction fails the parity suite.

Tests

Python 975 passed on 3.14 with zarr-python 3, 679 passed on 3.10 with
zarr-python 2, and 572 passed in TypeScript. Each commit is green on the axis,
parity, RFC-3 and CLI suites in both languages.

The 3.10 environment also reports 30 failures in
test_itk_transform_resample_bounding_box.py, all
ImportError: cannot import name 'resample_bounding_box' from 'itkwasm_downsample'. That file and the ITK code paths are untouched here.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f2eb2

The PR adds RFC-3 axis support, but valid 0.9.dev1 six-axis stores can still fail to read and az:// CLI inputs can fail unexpectedly. These compatibility issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Poem

A rabbit checks each axis name,
Six wide dimensions join the game.
RFC-3 paths now pass the gate,
Versions guide the validator’s state.
Zarrista writes the store with care,
While transformations travel there.

187-193: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Axis.type is commented as optional but has no default in either version's dataclass. Both Axis dataclasses declare type: str | None without a default, so direct construction (Axis(name="x")) still requires passing type= explicitly, contradicting the "type is optional" comment on each field. Internal call sites all pass type explicitly today, so this is not currently exploitable, but it undermines the documented RFC-3 contract for any future/external caller of the public Axis API.

This call does not explicitly pass validate=True, so it may only verify permissive deserialization. Add a validated read to ensure the relaxed schema also accepts an axis without type.

- Around line 195-207: Update the axes and dimension_names properties to use the

version dispatch to route detected 1.0-DEV metadata through the
coordinate-system-compatible RFC-3 parser, before the existing v0.4/v0.5
flat-metadata path and browser v0.6 delegation, so 1.0-DEV stores are parsed
using their coordinate-system layout.

- Around line 24-30: The public Axis interface should support RFC-3 metadata by
widening name from SupportedDims to string and making type optional as type?:

357-360: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use absolute imports for the new v10 model.

Both added imports are relative. Use the package-root import form for consistency with the repository’s Python import guideline.

Proposed fix
-            from ..v10.zarr_metadata import Metadata as Metadata_v10
+            from ngff_zarr.v10.zarr_metadata import Metadata as Metadata_v10

-        from ..v10.zarr_metadata import Metadata as Metadata_v10
+        from ngff_zarr.v10.zarr_metadata import Metadata as Metadata_v10

As per coding guidelines, Python files must use absolute imports and group imports by standard library/third-party/local.

The channel-last order warns rather than raises. ngff-zarr itself writes a
non-spec axis order for vector and RGB data: the channel axis ends up last
(z, y, x, c) via bin-shrink, dask-image and the TIFF S axis, and six tests
exercise it. Raising would break RGB TIFF conversion, so this case warns.
Probably worth its own issue.

Pull request overview

Adds opt-in support for OME-Zarr RFC-3 (free-form axis count/names/types/order) via a new 1.0-DEV version in both the Python (py/) and TypeScript (ts/) implementations, while keeping existing released versions’ axis constraints intact.

Changes:

  • Introduces 1.0-DEV as a supported (non-default) target version and routes it through the v0.6/RFC-5 coordinate-system layout.
  • Adds “write gating” so pre-1.0-DEV targets refuse RFC-3 axis models (with a warning-only exception for axis type-class ordering).
  • Makes axis type optional on read (aligning with v0.4 schema permissiveness) and adds an axis-names-unique structural validation rule + parity updates.

py/ngff_zarr/v10/zarr_metadata.py:211

  • axes / dimension_names are documented as returning the intrinsic coordinate system’s axes, but they currently read coordinateSystems[0]. If the intrinsic system is not the first entry (or the list is reordered on read), these properties will silently return the wrong axes and break structural validation and downstream dimension logic.

Derive both from intrinsic_coordinate_system instead of assuming index 0.

        return self.coordinateSystems[0].axes

    def dimension_names(self) -> tuple:
        return tuple([ax.name for ax in self.coordinateSystems[0].axes])

  • This error message also hard-codes “OME-Zarr v0.4”, but the “2–3 space axes” requirement is enforced for v0.4, v0.5, and v0.6 (and only lifted at 1.0-DEV). The wording should not imply it’s v0.4-specific.

@thewtex Opened #623 for the channel-last orderto_multiscales and the pyramidal-TIFF path now normalize axes to (t, c, z, y, x), so the gate's warning only remains for hand-built metadata.

Review threads above are addressed and resolved, ready for another look 👍

Give Axis.type a default of None.

The read path now supplies type=None through _filter_axis_dict. Direct construction still requires it, so Axis(name="x") raises TypeError. The declared type already allows None.

The duplicate-name test passes for the wrong reason below 0.9.dev1.

[space("y"), space("y"), space("x")] also violates the spatial-axis suffix rule. For "0.4", "0.5" and "0.6", validateSpatialAxisOrder runs before validateAxisNamesUnique and throws first, so the generic axis-model error is raised. Only the "0.9.dev1" iteration reaches the unique-name rule.

Use axes that satisfy the other four rules, and assert the unique-name message.

One thing that surfaced: #623 is Python only. The TypeScript port has no canonical-order normalization, and no lazy transpose to build one on, so a non-canonical model that Python normalizes is refused by the TS writer below
0.9.dev1. That looks like its own issue.

@vboussot could you please create a PR to address this?

@vboussot please squash this branch into logical commits and force-push

0.9.dev1 is 0.6 plus RFC-3, which lifts the limits on the number, names,
types and order of axes. It is opt-in: the default target is unchanged
and a caller reaches it by passing version="0.9.dev1" explicitly.

The model delegates dataset transform parsing and NgffImage construction
to the v0.6 reader, and normalizes a 0.5-shaped entry (flat axes, no
coordinateSystems) to a single intrinsic coordinate system, so either
shape is readable.
The v0.4 axis model was stricter than the spec on one count and looser
on another: `type` was required where the schema makes it optional, and
nothing refused two axes sharing a name, which the spec forbids by
handling the axes as a set. `axis-names-unique` closes the second and
both rule manifests carry it.

The rules that RFC-3 lifts are now gated on the version rather than
applied everywhere: the axis count, the canonical time-channel-space
class order and the 2-or-3 spatial axis requirement hold below 0.9.dev1
and stand down at it. A v0.6 array coordinate system satisfies the
spatial-axis rule. The axis unit types as the vocabulary or any string,
which is what the schema declares.
A store is validated against the version it declares rather than the
version the caller asked for, and the reader reports the version it
read. The writer refuses axes a target version cannot express, with one
message naming the axis and the version, instead of writing metadata
that version's schema rejects.
`ngff-zarr upgrade --to 0.9.dev1` converts a store to the RFC-3 version,
in both ports. The guides describe what the version lifts and that
reaching it is opt-in.
The browser build dispatched on isV06Version alone, which matches 0.6 and
its pre-release tags but not 0.9.dev1. A store this package's own 0.9
writer produced therefore fell through to the v0.4/v0.5 parser, which
expects a flat axes entry and cannot read a coordinateSystems document.
The node reader already dispatches on both and restores 0.9.dev1 on the
returned metadata, since the v0.6 delegate records 0.6; the browser reader
now does the same.

The writer's gate on multiscale-level transforms fired only at 0.6, so a
0.9.dev1 store could be written with a transform naming no input or
output coordinate system, which the validating reader then refuses.
0.9.dev1 is the 0.6 model with the axis restrictions relaxed, so the same
requirement holds and the gate covers it.
The model held every mapAxis to 2 to 5 indices. That mirrors the
minItems and maxItems the 0.4 through 0.6 schemas set, and follows from
their five-axis cap, but 0.9.dev1 declares neither: RFC-3 lifts the cap,
and the retreat is systematic across its schemas, which also drop
maxItems and maxContains on axes and the per-index maximum of 4. A
permutation over six axes is therefore a valid 0.9.dev1 document that
schema validation accepts and the parser refused, whatever validate was
set to.

The bound moves from __post_init__, which has no version to consult, to
validate, and the declared version is threaded from the reader through
_parse_transforms. The permutation and integer rules stay at
construction: every version states them identically.

validate_transform drops the version argument.

The function accepts version but calls transformation.validate(coordinateSystems) without it. Every caller therefore validates with version=None. _parse_transforms (Line 976) passes the declared version, and MapAxis.validate consults is_rfc3_axis_model_allowed(version), so the 2-to-5 arity bound is still applied to a 0.9.dev1 store. A 0.9.dev1 document that declares a six-axis mapAxis fails to read with ValueError, which defeats the read permissiveness this layer adds.

The nested parse paths have the same gap: ByDimensionItem.from_dict (Line 324) and Bijection.from_dict (Lines 445-446) call Metadata._parse_transforms(...) without a version, so a nested six-axis mapAxis is rejected during construction before ByDimension.validate re-checks it with the version.

🐛 Proposed fix for the dropped version
     Constraints that follow from the parameters alone hold by construction.
     This also checks the ones that need the ``input`` and ``output``
     coordinate systems, when those resolve in ``coordinateSystems``.

Align _REMOTE_SCHEMES with the reader's REMOTE_URL_SCHEMES.

_REMOTE_SCHEMES includes "az://", but from_ngff_zarr.REMOTE_URL_SCHEMES (line 23 of py/ngff_zarr/from_ngff_zarr.py) is ("s3://", "gs://", "azure://", "http://", "https://") and does not.

An az:// input therefore skips the local-path resolution in _maybe_resolve, then fails the remote check in from_ome_zarr. _is_local_path also treats it as a local directory, so the read reports "No valid Zarr group found at 'az://...'" instead of reading the remote store.

Either drop "az://" here or add it to REMOTE_URL_SCHEMES. Importing the reader tuple prevents future drift.

with version, add an optional version parameter to ByDimensionItem.from_dict,
ByDimension.from_dict, and Bijection.from_dict, pass it to
Metadata._parse_transforms, and forward it from _parse_transforms’ byDimension
and bijection branches so six-axis mapAxis documents remain permitted for
0.9.dev1.

- Around line 211-213: Update the new test to use the TypeScript aliases
toOmeZarr and fromOmeZarr consistently: change the corresponding imports and
call sites currently using toNgffZarr and fromNgffZarr, including the additional
occurrences noted later in the test. Preserve the existing browser-module
fromOmeZarr import and test behavior.

Comment thread docs/validation/api.md Outdated
The page said the axis rules are inert for the versions that adopt the
RFC-3 axis model. axis-names-unique is not among them: RFC-3 states it
and no released schema carries it, so it applies at every version. Only
the count, type and order rules stand down.

107-109: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep axis-names-unique active in the TypeScript documentation.

The phrase “the axis rules are inert” is too broad. RFC-3 makes the axis count, type, and order rules inert, but axis-names-unique remains enforced by validateStructural. Match the Python wording so readers do not expect duplicate axis names to pass.

📝 Proposed wording
- model (see [[parity]]), so omitting it holds every store to the v0.4 axis
- caps. A `ValidationError` carries a readonly `rule`
+ model (see [[parity]]), while `axis-names-unique` remains enforced for all
+ versions, so omitting it holds every store to the v0.4 axis caps. A
+ `ValidationError` carries a readonly `rule`
