Adds a small driver that checks the official RFC-3 sample data
(clbarnes/ome-zarr-rfc3-data:
ecg_1d, astronaut_xcy, ramp_6d) against what ngff-zarr actually does, and
prints a PASS/FAIL report.

The data isn't checked in, so the driver is opt-in (--data-dir), never runs
in CI, and never downloads anything.

For each dataset it checks the version, axes, shape, reading, structural
validation and array access. Failures are classified, so a problem with the
version tag is never confused with a problem with the axes.

The version tag

The sample data declares 0.5+rfc3, which no spec defines and which ngff-zarr
rejects. The driver reports a second pass over a copy retagged 1.0-DEV: a
6-axis image is valid at 1.0-DEV and invalid at 0.5, so that's the correct
declaration rather than a workaround.

Also adds docs/rfc3.md.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8af22

The change adds RFC-3/0.9.dev1 metadata handling, but browser reads may fail or lose coordinate metadata, valid arbitrary-axis transforms may be rejected, and documented lazy inputs may raise an exception before conversion. These are bounded but concrete correctness risks, so merge should wait for fixes.

Add an undefined-type case to match the Python parity test.

This shape list uses type: "custom" for the "arbitrary/optional type" case, but the Python twin (test_structural_validation.py) covers the same case with type=None — the actual RFC-3 "type is optional" scenario (Axis.type: string | undefined in zarr_metadata.ts).

The one remaining blocker is the version string: the reference data tags itself 0.5+rfc3, which RFC-3 does not define (it is an unratified proposal), and which the reader does not accept

This feels like something we're going to keep running into. We should probably come up with a convention that we can use for all proposed test data...

@vboussot let me know if you want/need any help getting this over the line!

@jni Agreed. One data point: for RFC-4 I didn't tag the sample data at all. It ships as plain "version": "0.5" with the RFC's orientation field added, and it still validates as 0.5. That works because RFC-4 only adds a field.

RFC-3 can't do that, since it removes restrictions. Its data genuinely isn't valid 0.5 any more (ramp_6d and ecg_1d both fail the 0.5 schema), so tagging them 0.5 would claim conformance to a version they violate.

bioformats2raw #330 now writes 1.0-DEV for RFC-3 output, and those axis models are valid there. So maybe the convention already exists, it's just newer than the sample data.

Suggestion: additive RFCs keep the base version, and RFCs that relax rules use the version that adopts them. Happy to send a PR retagging the sample data if that sounds right.

Implement the supported v0.4-to-v3 in-place upgrade path.

This rejects all cross-format in-place upgrades, including 0.4 → 0.5, 0.6, and 1.0-DEV. The Python implementation safely rewrites v2 metadata to v3 with v2 chunk-key encoding while preserving chunks, so the TypeScript API now has a materially weaker upgrade contract despite claiming alignment. Implement the equivalent guarded migration or explicitly narrow the public feature contract.

This test doesn't actually prove the unique-name rule fires below 1.0-DEV.

[y, y, x] trips validateSpatialAxisOrder first at 0.4/0.5/0.6 (spatial names must be the suffix of (z, y, x)), so only the 1.0-DEV iteration exercises AxisNamesUnique. Assert the repeated-name message text to keep the intent explicit.

coordinateTransformations[0].output.name is always available.

Skip marker deviates from the established Zarr v3 gate convention.

Based on learnings from prior PRs in this repo, Zarr v3 skip markers should use version.parse(zarr.__version__) < version.parse("3.0.0b1"), not a hasattr duck-type check, to stay consistent with test_structural_validation_reader.py, test_to_ngff_zarr_rfc2_zarr_v3.py, test_convert_ome_zarr_version.py, and test_cli_orientation.py.

♻️ Proposed fix

 zarr_v3 = pytest.mark.skipif(

+    version.parse(zarr.__version__) < version.parse("3.0.0b1"),
     reason="OME-Zarr 1.0-DEV is a Zarr v3 hierarchy",

Module docstring doesn't mention 1.0-DEV as a supported target.

"Every supported transition (0.4<->0.5<->0.6) works in this mode" and the Zarr v2↔v3 boundary example ("0.4->0.5 or 0.4->0.6") are now stale: _validate_target_version and the dispatch logic in upgrade_ome_zarr both accept "1.0-DEV" as a valid target for in-place and write-to-new-store upgrades.

 Zarr v3 ``zarr.json`` is given a ``v2`` chunk-key encoding matching the source
 separator so the existing chunk binaries resolve unchanged (see
 :func:`_rewrite_v2_group_to_v3`). The reverse, an in-place *downgrade* across
 the boundary (0.5/0.6->0.4), cannot preserve chunk keys and is rejected with a
 clear ``ValueError``; pass an ``output`` store instead.

**Write-to-new-store conversion.** When an `output` store distinct from `input`
is given, the source is read lazily and re-written to `output` at the requested
version through the standard, tested write pipeline. Every supported transition

Pull request overview

This PR adds opt-in support for OME-Zarr 1.0-DEV (RFC-3 axis model) across the Python and TypeScript implementations, plus an integration-style conformance driver that can be run locally against the official RFC-3 reference datasets without vendoring or downloading data.

Changes:

  • Introduces 1.0-DEV as a supported (opt-in) version and makes structural axis validation version-aware (axis-count/type/order rules become inert only at 1.0-DEV, while axis-name uniqueness remains enforced).
  • Adds write-gating in both languages to refuse serializing RFC-3 axis models to pre-1.0-DEV targets, with targeted tests covering the gate and structural-validation parity.
  • Adds RFC-3 documentation and an opt-in Python conformance driver + reference-data integration (via RFC3_DATA_DIR / --data-dir).

- Around line 110-114: Update the RFC3 verification statement to explicitly say
that full-dimensional reads, structural validation, and axis-order preservation
are performed on copies retagged from the rejected 0.5+rfc3 version to 1.0-DEV.
Clarify that the raw datasets do not all pass these checks under their original
version declaration, while preserving the listed dataset examples and outcomes.

- Around line 94-105: The _read_group_attrs function must check consolidated v2
metadata in .zmetadata before falling back to .zattrs, while preserving the
existing v3 handling and checking consolidated metadata before store validation.
In the retagging logic for v2 stores around retagging symbols at
py/test/rfc3_conformance.py lines 184-200, update the matching consolidated
.zattrs metadata entry in .zmetadata as well as the standalone metadata so both
representations receive the new tag.
- Around line 63-64: Pin and verify the upstream generator revision and
reference-data extents before retaining the expected shape assertions in
py/test/rfc3_conformance.py at lines 63-64, 77-78, and 87-88; ensure each
assertion uses data generated from that pinned revision so valid upstream
updates cannot be reported as malformed-data.
- Around line 218-235: Update the normalized-check result construction around
_version_normalized() so it sets an explicit status field to PASS or FAIL based
on the read and validation outcome. Ensure the status is assigned before
returning the result and reflects any classified read, axis, or validation
problems.

In `@py/test/test_rfc3_axes.py`:
- Around line 206-209: Update the assertions around run_data_dir in the RFC-3
integration test so any report with status "fail" causes pytest to fail, while
retaining support for the valid "pass" and "skip" statuses and the
manifest-count assertion.
- Around line 22-25: Update the needs_zarr_v3 marker to compare against
packaging_version.parse("3.0.0b1") and change its reason text to state that Zarr
version >= 3.0.0b1 is required, keeping the existing skip condition and marker
structure unchanged.

In `@ts/src/utils/structural_validation.ts`:
- Around line 373-380: Update the AxisOrder validation around the count < 2
check to remove the lower-bound rejection, allowing one space axis for legacy
OME-Zarr versions. Preserve the existing upper-bound validation and rely on the
existing suffix validation to require the `(x,)` axis order for the one-axis
case.

State of the CodeRabbit review after the rebase onto the current #611 head, checked against the code on this branch rather than against the diff the review ran on.

Addressed by the commits that followed the review:

  • rfc3_conformance.py version normalization is format-aware and consolidation-aware. _patch_group_version rewrites zarr.json, .zattrs and the consolidated .zmetadata copy, and the read helper checks the consolidated metadata before .zattrs.
  • The integration test fails on a conformance failure: a fail status must carry the tolerated version-string classification and its retagged pass must succeed, otherwise the case must be pass.
  • The reference-data revision is pinned.
  • The docs state that the second set of checks runs on a copy retagged 0.9.dev1, at two places.
  • The normalized check sets an explicit status.
  • Read failures carry a stage, so a storage error is not reported as RFC-3 metadata.

Not applied, with reasons:

Absolute imports in py/ngff_zarr/__init__.py. Every import in that file is relative, from .__about__ down. Converting one line would leave the file inconsistent with itself; converting the file is a separate change.

3.0.0b1 as the Zarr v3 threshold in test_rfc3_axes.py. Both thresholds are established here. 3.0.0b2 with the reason "zarr version >= 3.0.0b2 required for OME-Zarr version >= 0.5" appears 14 times in the suite and this marker reproduces it verbatim; 3.0.0b1 is used with a version-specific reason, which is why test_v09_metadata.py uses it.

Keeping one spatial axis valid for legacy versions. The v0.4 axes schema states minContains: 2 on type: space, and the upstream conformance corpus files one_space_axes under invalid/; ome/ngff-spec#190 moves it to valid/ only for 0.9.dev1. One spatial axis is invalid below 0.9.dev1.

The version string is now 0.9.dev1 throughout, following ome/ngff-spec#190 and the rename in #611.

Convert store inputs before reading data.ndim.

Line 137 accesses data.ndim, but Line 159 calls _as_dask_array(data) afterward. For a str or MutableMapping, both accepted by the signature and documented as lazy inputs, this raises AttributeError before conversion.

Extend the top-level transform gate to 0.9.dev1.

The v0.9.dev1 metadata model preserves the v0.6 transform classes and coordinateTransformations. The current version check allows a top-level transform with missing input or output references to be serialized. Apply the gate to both versions.

Remove the hard-coded 2–5 arity check from MapAxis.

The 0.9.dev1 reader delegates transform parsing to v06.Metadata, where MapAxis rejects vectors such as [0] and [5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0] before coordinate-system validation. RFC-3 permits arbitrary axis counts, and RFC-5 requires one permutation entry per input and output axis. Keep the integer, permutation, and coordinate-system length checks. Apply the 2–5 restriction only to pre-0.9 versions.

`py/test/rfc3_conformance.py` drives the official RFC-3 sample datasets
(`clbarnes/ome-zarr-rfc3-data`: ecg_1d, astronaut_xcy, ramp_6d) against an
authored manifest and prints a per-case PASS/FAIL report. The data is
generated, not checked in, so the driver is opt-in (`--data-dir` /
`RFC3_DATA_DIR`), never runs in the default suite and never downloads.

Each case records the declared version, Zarr format, axes and shape, then
diffs what ngff-zarr does: reading, structural validation, reading every
referenced array, and the scale/translation-length check. A read failure is
classified -- version-string, rfc3-metadata, malformed-data, storage -- so a
disagreement about the version tag is never confused with one about the axes.

The reference data declares `0.5+rfc3`, which no specification defines. The
driver reports a separate pass over a copy retagged `1.0-DEV`, the version
that adopts RFC-3: those axis models are conformant there, whereas 0.5 rejects
a 6-D image outright, so declaring `0.5` would claim conformance to a version
the data violates.
- The manifest now authors the exact scale-0 shape of each reference
  dataset, and `_check_read_result` diffs against it rather than only
  the dimensionality.
- Docstrings for the public `run_data_dir` and `main` entry points.
- The manifest records the ome-zarr-rfc3-data revision its ground truth
  describes, and the report header prints it.
- The retagged 1.0-DEV check now carries its own pass/fail status.
- Consolidated v2 metadata (.zmetadata) is read and retagged too.
- The opt-in integration test only tolerates the undefined 0.5+rfc3
  version tag, and requires the retagged copy to fully conform.
- docs/rfc3.md states the checks run on the retagged copy.
The version that carries RFC-3 is 0.9.dev1, so the driver's RFC3_VERSION, the
retagged-copy pass it reports, the upgrade-refusal test and the RFC-3 guide
name it.

docs/index.md moved on both sides: the base took the refined sentence on
which zarr-python versions read which outputs, this branch added the RFC-3
bullet. Both kept, the bullet before RFC-4 so the list follows the numbers.
