Closes #2004.

Adds Zarr to the STAC panel: a row in the format table, a branch in the router, and a second
dropdown to pick which variable to draw. Icechunk is out of scope and is refused with a message.

Demo: connect https://ubm-assets.geology.utah.gov/examples/stac-zarr/catalog.json, search, Add.

NOTE: I made this as a temp demo catalog, but I think maybe it would be better to have a demo catalog that opengeos owns? I had a hard time finding any example data that wasn't locked behind CORS or something else.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The STAC plugin now recognizes Zarr assets, derives selectable drawable variables, validates stores and targets, and adds selected variables as raster layers. It handles Icechunk and unreadable stores, preserves item bounds, updates labels, and adds unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.

Changes

STAC Zarr integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Zarr asset modeling and validation
packages/plugins/src/plugins/stac-api.ts, tests/stac-api.test.ts
STAC parsing detects Zarr assets, resolves storage and CRS metadata, derives drawable targets, builds layer requests, checks readability, and validates addability.
STAC plugin target selection and rendering
packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-stac.ts, apps/geolibre-desktop/src/components/layout/TopToolbar.tsx, apps/geolibre-desktop/src/i18n/locales/en.json, packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-components.ts
The plugin adds target selection, Zarr raster-layer creation, Icechunk and unreadable-store handling, item-bound metadata, localization, and documentation.
Catalog fixtures and workflow validation
tests/fixtures/stac-items/*, tests/stac-real-catalogs.test.ts, e2e/stac-zarr.spec.ts
Fixtures and tests cover ERA5, Sentinel-2, Zarr target discovery, excluded variables, Azure storage resolution, and the catalog-to-map workflow.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b2936

The change adds Zarr assets, but valid nested Zarr array URLs can still be rejected because their embedded array path is ignored, and the related test does not verify the classification result. This bounded feature-correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Possible bug: signing an Azure-hosted Zarr href before the readability check may make PC-hosted Zarr assets permanently unaddable.

readableHref (L656) signs any Azure blob href via planetaryComputerSigner(), which — per the doc comment two lines above (L645-647) — attaches a SAS token as a query string. For a href that doesn't already point into the store (e.g. era5-pds's precipitation_amount_1hour_Accumulation.zarr, one of this PR's own fixtures), zarrStorePath won't find a .zarr/ marker and returns the whole signed href — query string included — as url. zarrStoreTakesKeys(url) then sees a non-empty search and returns false, so this branch always throws addZarrUnreadable for exactly the private-container assets that signing exists to unlock.

If a container-scoped SAS token from planetaryComputerSigner is actually meant to be reusable across blob paths in the container (which is how Planetary Computer's signing is normally used for chunked Zarr/xarray reads), this check may be discarding a legitimately-readable store rather than protecting against a broken one. Worth verifying against a real signed Planetary Computer Zarr URL (e.g. era5-pds) — if Add always fails for it, this defeats the purpose of calling readableHref here at all.

Confidence: medium — the control flow is verified from the code, but I can't verify at runtime whether signUrl issues container-scoped tokens or whether the underlying Zarr reader can actually consume <store>/<key>?<token> correctly.

Minor UX nit: syncAsset() clears and rebuilds targetSelect's options every time it runs, including from the add click handler's adding = true; syncAsset(); call right after the click. Since no option carries selected, the browser auto-selects the first option once the list is rebuilt, so the visible dropdown silently jumps back to the first variable (e.g. "temperature") as soon as Add is clicked, even if the user had picked a different one (e.g. "precipitation"). The already-in-flight add is unaffected because target is captured before syncAsset() runs, but the user's selection is lost afterward, so re-adding the same asset requires re-picking the variable each time.

Confidence: medium — reasoned from standard <select> reset behavior, not runtime-verified.

When an asset's href already points inside the store (the EOPF case this function handles specially), the path it finds isn't necessarily a leaf array — it can be a Zarr group containing several arrays. The eopf-sentinel2.json fixture in this PR includes exactly that: the SR_10m asset's href resolves to measurements/reflectance/r10m, a group holding four band arrays (B02/B03/B04/B08), while the sibling B02_10m asset points at the actual leaf array (.../r10m/b02). canAddAsset/assetTargets will treat SR_10m as addable with a single target equal to the group path, and passing that "variable" to addZarrRasterLayer would presumably fail at the renderer with an unfriendly error rather than the clean messages this PR otherwise provides (addZarrUnreadable/addNoTarget).

This may be an intentional scope cut (multi-band group assets are unusual), but since the exact scenario is present in this PR's own fixture, it's worth confirming what actually happens when a user picks SR_10m and clicks Add.

Confidence: medium — inferred from the fixture data and the STAC/Zarr semantics of a group vs. an array; not runtime-verified.

All four inline comments are posted. Here is the final summary.

Code review

Bugs

  • Signing an Azure-hosted Zarr href before the store-readability check may make signed (private-container) Zarr assets — e.g. this PR's own era5-pds fixture — permanently unaddable, since the resulting SAS-token query string trips zarrStoreTakesKeys and throws addZarrUnreadable. packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-stac.ts:706-711. Confidence: medium.
  • assetTargets can offer a Zarr group path (e.g. EOPF's SR_10mmeasurements/reflectance/r10m, which holds four band arrays) as a single addable "variable," which the renderer likely can't open as an array. packages/plugins/src/plugins/stac-api.ts:949-955. Confidence: medium.

Security

  • None found. New DOM content (asset/target labels) is set via textContent, not innerHTML, so untrusted catalog data (titles, variable names) can't inject markup.

Performance

  • None found.

Quality

  • The doc comment above readableHref still says "Only the GeoParquet path signs... PMTiles and COG read unsigned," but the new Zarr case also signs — the comment (and its persisted-token caveat) should be updated to mention Zarr. packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-stac.ts:645-647. Confidence: high.
  • targetSelect's options are rebuilt (and thus reset to the first entry) every time syncAsset() runs, including right after an Add click, so the visibly-selected variable snaps back even though the in-flight add still uses the correct captured value. Minor UX annoyance on repeat adds. packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-stac.ts:1144-1155. Confidence: medium.

CLAUDE.md

  • No violations found: new user-facing strings go through t()/en.json as required, and only en.json was touched (consistent with this repo's translation workflow for other locales).

Minor: addZarrRasterLayer always resolves to a truthy layer id — it throws (if (!addedLayerId) throw ...) rather than ever returning a falsy value — so layerId here is guaranteed truthy once await addZarrRasterLayer(...) resolves. The layerId ? ... : undefined / if (layerId && layer) guards are dead code; layer alone is a sufficient (and clearer) condition.

Suggested change
const layer = layerId
? useAppStore.getState().layers.find((entry) => entry.id === layerId)
: undefined;
if (layerId && layer) {
const layer = useAppStore.getState().layers.find((entry) => entry.id === layerId);

Confidence: medium-high — based on reading addZarrRasterLayer's implementation in maplibre-components.ts, which throws before returning if addedLayerId is falsy.

Code review

Bugs

  • None found with high confidence. The core Zarr-target/CRS/auth-check logic (zarrTargets, zarrStorePath, zarrTargetCheck, zarrCrs) is carefully written and well covered by the accompanying unit tests, including v2/v3 metadata splitting, refusal-vs-missing-key disambiguation, and axis-labeling edge cases.

Security

  • None found. Client-side fetches to attacker/user-supplied STAC hrefs are consistent with the existing plugin's trust model (the user's own browser fetching a catalog they connected to), and no secrets or credentials are logged or leaked.

Performance

  • None found. zarrTargetCheck makes at most 3 sequential requests per Add click (bounded, not a hot path).

Quality

  • visualizeAsset's Zarr branch (packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-stac.ts:739-745): addZarrRasterLayer always throws rather than returning a falsy id, so the layerId ? … : undefined / if (layerId && layer) guards are dead code — layer alone is sufficient. Suggested a small simplification. Confidence: medium-high.
  • zarrTargets/assetTargets/canAddAsset (packages/plugins/src/plugins/stac-api.ts:795-830): a plain Zarr asset with neither an embedded store path nor the STAC datacube extension can never be added — Add stays permanently disabled with no way to discover variables. This may be intentional scope, but is worth checking against the PR's own demo catalog. Confidence: medium.
  • The Zarr add path deliberately never signs the href for private containers (packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-stac.ts:717-726), unlike the parquet case just above it which mints a Planetary Computer SAS token. If the era5-pds collection used in this PR's own test fixture actually requires a token on the live service, Add would always fail with "credentials GeoLibre cannot supply yet" — the tests only exercise a captured fixture, not the live/auth path. Worth a manual check against the real catalog before merging. Confidence: medium.

CLAUDE.md

  • No violations found: new user-facing strings go through t()/en.json as required, docs/plugin-api.md was updated to match the narrowed Icechunk scope, and no mirrored-constant or lockfile conventions apply to this change.

Bug (low-medium confidence): this only guards against a variable spanning two non-horizontal spatial axes (e.g. lat+depth), but doesn't reject a variable spanning three or more fully-labeled spatial axes (e.g. lat(y) + lon(x) + depth(z)). Such a variable passes axes.includes("x") && axes.includes("y") and is offered as a drawable target, but neither assetTargets/zarrLayerRequest nor the STAC panel's UI ever build or expose a selector (see ZarrRasterLayerOptions.selector in maplibre-components.ts) — so adding it hands the renderer a 3-D array with no way for the user to pick a depth/level index from this panel.

Non-spatial extra dimensions (e.g. time) are already filtered out correctly since they aren't in the spatial set — this is specifically about a variable that spans more than 2 spatial dimensions.

Concretely: dimensions: ["depth","lat","lon"] with depth/lat/lon all typed spatial and axes z/y/x respectively would be treated the same as a genuine 2-D ["lat","lon"] variable.

Tested this rather than guessing. Built a (depth, lat, lon) store with all three axes labelled spatial, served it through a local catalog, clicked Add: layer added, drew a slice, no console errors, Zoom to layer flew to the bbox. The renderer defaults the un-selected spatial dimension the same way it defaults time.

So excluding x/y/z variables would hide data that renders. You're right that no selector is exposed — picking a level (or a timestep) is the slice-picker gap, filed separately.

lat + depth is different: no horizontal pair, nothing to place. Excluded, with a test.

  • zarrTargets (packages/plugins/src/plugins/stac-api.ts:808-820) only rejects a variable spanning two spatial axes that aren't horizontal (e.g. lat+depth); a fully-labeled variable spanning three or more spatial axes (e.g. lat(y)+lon(x)+depth(z)) passes the x&y check and is offered as drawable, even though no selector is ever built or exposed by this panel to pick which depth/level slice to render. Non-spatial dims like time are already filtered correctly, so this is narrowly about multi-axis spatial cubes. Confidence: low-medium (inline comment posted).

Security

  • None found. Zarr store requests are unsigned by design (documented rationale), scoped to http(s): hrefs via isFetchableHref, and the new fetch paths mirror the existing GeoJSON/parquet direct-fetch pattern rather than introducing new capability.

Performance

  • No notable issues. zarrTargetCheck stops probing after the first successful/erroring key rather than always trying all three, and per-add Zarr layer registration is already serialized by the pre-existing zarrAddQueue.

Quality

  • Design is well factored and heavily tested (zarrTargets, zarrStorePath, zarrTargetCheck, zarrCrs, assetTargets, canAddAsset all have direct unit coverage plus two real-catalog fixtures and an e2e spec). No dead code, unused imports, or naming issues spotted.
  • Minor/low-confidence UX gap related to the Bugs item above: even for the common 2-D case, the STAC panel never surfaces a dimension selector, so a variable with an extra non-spatial dimension (e.g. time) always renders whatever slice the renderer defaults to, with no in-panel way to change it. Likely acceptable given the PR's stated scope (Icechunk is explicitly deferred), but worth confirming intent.

CLAUDE.md

  • No violations found: new user-facing strings are routed through t()/en.json as required, docs/plugin-api.md is updated to match the new ZarrRasterLayerOptions.url semantics, and no node_modules or generated-catalog files were hand-edited.

This only requires the labeled axes to include x and y, not to be exactly {x, y}. A variable spanning three fully-labeled spatial dimensions (e.g. lat/lon/depth all present with axis: "y"|"x"|"z") would pass this check and be offered as a drawable 2D target, even though it's actually a 3D volume. Unlike the time dimension — which has dedicated axis-detection/selector machinery elsewhere in maplibre-components.ts — there's no selector computed here for a leftover z axis, so the renderer would fall back to whatever its own default slice is.

This may be an intentional scope limit (real-world datacube catalogs rarely publish true x/y/z volumes as a single 2D-drawable variable), but it isn't covered by the tests, which only exercise the 2-spatial-dimension cases. Confidence: low-medium, since I can't verify @carbonplan/zarr-layer's exact behavior for an un-selected extra dimension.

Tested this one rather than reasoning about it: built a (depth, lat, lon) store with all three axes labelled spatial, served it through a local catalog and clicked Add. It adds, draws a slice, logs no errors, and Zoom to layer flies to the bbox — the renderer defaults the un-selected spatial dimension the way it defaults time.

So requiring exactly {x, y} would hide data that renders. You're right that no selector is exposed for the leftover axis; choosing a level (or a timestep) is the slice-picker gap, which is a separate feature.

lat + depth with no lon is the case that genuinely can't be placed, and that one is excluded with a test.

Bugs

  • zarrTargets's horizontal-axis check (packages/plugins/src/plugins/stac-api.ts:819) requires the labeled spatial axes to include x and y, not to be exactly that pair — a fully-labeled 3D variable (x/y/z) would still be classified as a drawable 2D target, and no selector is computed for the leftover axis the way there is for the time dimension elsewhere in the codebase. Confidence: low-medium (untested edge case; can't verify the renderer's default behavior for an un-selected extra dimension).

Security

  • None found. Labels/options are built via textContent/.value (no innerHTML), and the new Zarr preflight requests reuse the existing browser-fetch threat model already applied to other STAC asset formats.

Performance

  • None significant. zarrTargetCheck does up to 3 sequential fetches per Add click as a deliberate preflight; acceptable for a one-shot user action.

Quality

  • packages/plugins/src/index.ts (not touched by this PR, so no inline comment possible) re-exports the existing STAC format helpers (assetFormat, assetDisplayFormat, isVisualizableAsset, …) from stac-api.ts, but doesn't re-export the new Zarr equivalents this PR adds (canAddAsset, assetTargets, zarrTargets, zarrCrs, zarrLayerRequest, zarrTargetCheck, zarrStorePath, zarrStoreTakesKeys, isIcechunkAsset, requiresTarget, withItemBounds, and the ZarrTargetCheck/AssetTarget/ZarrLayerRequest types). This breaks the established export symmetry for the package's public entry point. Confidence: medium — severity depends on whether external plugin authors are expected to consume these stac-api.ts helpers directly.

CLAUDE.md

  • No violations found: new user-facing strings go through t()/en.json as the source of truth, docs/plugin-api.md was updated for the addZarrLayer behavior change, and no mirrored/hand-written constant from a bumped dependency was touched.

Overall this is a thorough, well-tested change (extensive unit coverage in tests/stac-api.test.ts, real-catalog fixture tests, and a Playwright e2e spec). I traced the Zarr store-path parsing, CRS resolution, target-check status handling, and Icechunk/format-routing logic in detail and didn't find correctness issues beyond the one noted above.

Quality (medium confidence): This doc now says the plain-url path only reads Zarr v2/v3 over HTTP (Icechunk removed), and ZarrRasterLayerOptions.url's docstring in maplibre-components.ts was updated the same way in this PR. But packages/plugins/src/types.ts (GeoLibreAppAPI.addZarrLayer, ~line 408) still documents that same public API as reading "Zarr v2/v3, Icechunk over HTTP" — and addZarrLayer in usePlugins.ts is a thin wrapper over the very addZarrRasterLayer whose docstring was just narrowed here. That leaves the plugin-facing public type declaration contradicting both this doc and the STAC panel's new explicit refusal of Icechunk assets. Worth updating types.ts in the same pass so external plugin authors aren't told a URL-only Icechunk store will work when it won't.

Missed that one — fixed in 3220333. GeoLibreAppAPI.addZarrLayer in packages/plugins/src/types.ts now says "Zarr v2/v3 over HTTP" too, so the plugin-facing type, the renderer docstring and the doc all agree.

Performance (low-medium confidence): zarrTargetCheck does its own preflight request(s) for the variable's zarr.json/.zarray/.zgroup before this even calls addZarrRasterLayer — which then has the underlying @carbonplan/zarr-layer control load the store's metadata again to actually render it. Every successful Zarr add therefore does the store-metadata fetch twice. Given this is presumably a deliberate trade-off for a clearer pre-render error message (the renderer's own "error" event carries no structured reason), it may be intentional — but worth confirming, since for a large .zmetadata-consolidated store this doubles a request that isn't free.

Confirmed intentional. The renderer reports a store it can't read through an event with no structured reason, so without the preflight the panel says "Added…" and leaves a layer that never draws — which is what it did before the check existed. The cost is one to three small metadata requests on click (not per result row), and it buys the group / needs-credentials / unreadable-address / unavailable messages.

Folding validate and open into one call needs the renderer to surface load state, which is upstream in @carbonplan/zarr-layer.

Bugs (low confidence): isIcechunkAsset only looks at asset["icechunk:branch"]. Elsewhere in this same PR (normalizeItem's account resolution), storage-related extension fields are deliberately read from both the asset and the item, on the reasoning that a catalog can publish the field at either level. If some Icechunk-publishing catalog follows the same convention and puts icechunk:branch on item.properties rather than per-asset, such an asset would fall through to the normal Zarr path and fail later with the generic zarrTargetCheck "unavailable"/"group" message instead of the clear "Icechunk stores cannot be read yet" one. Possibly moot if no real catalog does this, but worth double-checking against how Icechunk's STAC extension actually publishes the field.

Fair symmetry argument — done in 3220333. isIcechunkAsset takes the item as well and checks item.properties["icechunk:branch"], matching how the storage options are read at both levels. canAddAsset and both call sites pass the item; test added, and looking at the asset alone fails it.

Bugs

  • isIcechunkAsset (packages/plugins/src/plugins/stac-api.ts:1034) only checks asset["icechunk:branch"], unlike the item-or-asset fallback this same PR adds for xarray:open_kwargs/table:storage_options. If some catalog publishes the Icechunk marker at the item level, that asset would silently fall through to the normal Zarr path instead of the clear "Icechunk stores cannot be read yet" message. Confidence: low (speculative — depends on real-world Icechunk STAC extension conventions).

Security

  • None found. The new zarrTargetCheck/storeKeyUrl path builds request URLs from catalog-controlled variable names, but a malicious catalog already fully controls asset.href, so this doesn't grant any new capability.

Performance

  • visualizeAsset's "zarr" case runs a full zarrTargetCheck preflight (1–3 requests for zarr.json/.zarray/.zgroup) and then addZarrRasterLayer has the @carbonplan/zarr-layer control load the store's metadata again to actually render — every successful Zarr add fetches the store metadata twice. Likely a deliberate trade-off for a clean pre-render error message, but worth confirming (maplibre-stac.ts:725). Confidence: low-medium.

Quality

  • Doc/type inconsistency: docs/plugin-api.md and the ZarrRasterLayerOptions.url docstring in maplibre-components.ts were both updated in this PR to say Icechunk is no longer read via a plain URL, but packages/plugins/src/types.ts (GeoLibreAppAPI.addZarrLayer, the actual public plugin-facing type, and a thin wrapper over the very function whose docstring was narrowed) still claims "Zarr v2/v3, Icechunk over HTTP" support. External plugin authors reading types.ts would be told something that's no longer true. Confidence: medium.

CLAUDE.md

  • No violations found. New user-facing strings go through t()/en.json as required, and non-English catalogs are correctly left untouched (the repo's own i18n test treats partial locale coverage as informational, not a failure).

Overall this is a well-scoped, thoroughly tested change (extensive unit tests plus real-catalog fixtures and an e2e spec) with careful handling of STAC/Zarr edge cases (embedded array paths, spatial-dimension detection, CRS resolution, credentials vs. missing-key disambiguation). The findings above are minor consistency/perf notes rather than functional defects.

Possible early bail-out on the first probed key (zarr.json), even when a later key (.zarray/.zgroup) would have succeeded.

The comment justifies this as "a blocked or unreachable host fails every key the same way," but that's not guaranteed for every failure mode this catch swallows. For example, some object-store fronting proxies/CDNs omit CORS headers specifically on 404 responses (a common real-world quirk for S3-compatible backends), which browsers surface as an opaque TypeError: Failed to fetch rather than a resolved 404 response. In that scenario, probing zarr.json on a v2-only store throws (CORS-opaque failure) and the loop returns "unavailable" immediately — never reaching .zarray, which might have succeeded with proper CORS headers on an existing key.

Since v2 stores never have zarr.json (so that first probe is expected to 404/fail on every v2 store), this path could trigger on a meaningful fraction of real v2 catalogs behind such proxies, misreporting a perfectly readable store as "could not be opened."

Confidence: medium — this depends on specific proxy/CDN CORS behavior that isn't exercised by the fixture-backed tests (all synthetic fetchers here throw consistently across keys, so the test suite can't distinguish "throws on some keys" from "throws on all keys").

You're right, and my comment asserted something I hadn't checked — fixed in e8f6f35.

A thrown request no longer ends the search: it moves to the next key, so a gateway that omits CORS headers on its 404s can't condemn a v2 store by way of the v3 key it never had. A host that rejects every key still reports unavailable, now after trying all three.

Tests cover both — throw-on-zarr.json then .zarray answering, and all three rejecting — and bailing on the first throw fails them.

Bugs

  • packages/plugins/src/plugins/stac-api.ts:1008zarrTargetCheck's catch block stops probing after the first key throws (rather than a resolved non-ok response), on the assumption that "a blocked or unreachable host fails every key the same way." For v2 stores, the first probed key (zarr.json) never exists, so any CORS-opaque failure mode that varies by response status (e.g., some S3-compatible proxies omit CORS headers only on 404s but include them on 200s) could cause the whole check to bail out as "unavailable" before ever trying .zarray/.zgroup, misreporting a readable v2 store as unopenable. Confidence: medium — plausible real-world CORS/proxy behavior, but not something the fixture-based tests can distinguish (their mock fetchers throw uniformly across keys).

Security

  • None found. Catalog-controlled strings (variable names, labels, hrefs) are inserted via el()'s textContent, not innerHTML, so no XSS risk from untrusted STAC catalogs. The Azure account-name resolution reuses the existing browserAssetHref conversion path, just adding a second lookup key (xarray:open_kwargs) — no new injection surface.

Performance

  • Minor: visualizeAsset's zarr path does a network round trip via zarrTargetCheck (up to 3 sequential requests) purely to validate the target before calling addZarrRasterLayer, which itself re-fetches the store's metadata to actually render. This is a deliberate correctness/UX tradeoff (fail with a clear message before committing to add) rather than a bug, but it's worth noting as a small amount of redundant fetching. Confidence: low, not flagged as an issue to fix.

Quality

  • The new stac-api.ts helpers (zarrTargets, zarrStorePath, zarrCrs, zarrTargetCheck, canAddAsset, etc.) are well-commented with the "why," and the accompanying unit tests (tests/stac-api.test.ts) and real-catalog fixture tests (tests/stac-real-catalogs.test.ts, captured from Planetary Computer/EOPF) cover the tricky edge cases (nested array hrefs, signed URLs, half-labelled cube axes, Azure account resolution precedence, Icechunk refusal) thoroughly. No issues found.

  • New user-facing strings correctly go through t()/en.json as the source of truth (docs/i18n.md convention followed). No mirrored/unexported-constant patterns from CLAUDE.md's list apply to this change. docs/plugin-api.md was updated to match the narrowed (non-Icechunk) url semantics of ZarrRasterLayerOptions, keeping doc and code in sync.

Possible gap: Zarr assets from private Planetary Computer-style containers can never be added, even though the app already knows how to sign for them.

readableHref (lines 654-679, just above this switch) exists precisely because "Planetary Computer serves several collections... from private containers that answer 409 without a SAS token" — and 409 is literally one of the UNAUTHORIZED_STATUSES this new Zarr path treats as "unauthorized". Yet the zarr branch never calls readableHref/planetaryComputerSigner; it's "deliberately unsigned" per the comment on line 722.

The PR's own tests/fixtures/stac-items/pc-era5.json fixture is a real Planetary Computer ERA5 Zarr item on Azure blob storage (cpdataeuwest). If that storage account requires a SAS token for anonymous reads (as many PC climate collections do), a real user adding this exact asset would always get "This Zarr store needs credentials GeoLibre cannot supply yet" — even though the app already has the mechanism to mint that token for the same collection.

The stated reason (a URL-embedded token can't survive <store>/<key> appending) is true for a blob-scoped SAS, but Planetary Computer's signUrl(href, collectionId) signs by collection, which suggests a container-scoped SAS — and a container SAS (sr=c) does tolerate extra path segments within that container. Worth confirming whether PC's tokens are actually container-scoped and, if so, whether signing (or passing the token via addZarrRasterLayer's options.headers instead of the URL) would let these assets load instead of always failing as "unauthorized".

Confidence: medium — I can't run this against the live PC API to confirm the container actually requires a token, but the surrounding code strongly suggests this is a real, hit-in-practice gap rather than a hypothetical one.

Minor UX nit: canAddAsset enables Add for any Zarr asset that names a drawable target, but doesn't check zarrStoreTakesKeys. A Zarr href with a query string (a signed URL, ?v=2, etc.) will pass canAddAsset and show an enabled Add button, but always fail at click-time in visualizeAsset with zarrProblem("unsupported-url") once zarrTargetCheck runs — per the test at tests/stac-api.test.ts ("a store that cannot take keys is never asked for one"). Since the outcome is deterministic ahead of time, it might be friendlier to fold a zarrStoreTakesKeys check into canAddAsset (and surface it via addReason) so the button reflects reality instead of always failing after a spinner. Low severity — the failure is still reported clearly, just one click later than it could be.

Confidence: low-medium; this is a UX polish point, not a correctness bug.

Bugs

  • None found with high confidence. The target/format detection logic (zarrTargets, zarrStorePath, zarrTargetCheck, assetTargets, canAddAsset) is unusually well covered by tests, including edge cases (mixed-case axis labels, half-labelled cubes, refusal-then-success probing order, signed URLs, embedded array paths) that I tried to independently break and couldn't.

Security

  • No injection, XSS, or secret-leak issues. el() sets textContent, not innerHTML, so untrusted catalog strings (titles, variable names) can't inject markup. storeKeyUrl builds keys through the URL API rather than string concatenation into a trusted context.

Performance

  • zarrTargetCheck makes up to 3 sequential (not parallelized) requests before Add can proceed — an intentional trade-off per the code comments (order matters for correct v3-then-v2 precedence and to avoid over-eagerly reporting "unauthorized"), not a defect. Low confidence this is worth changing.

Quality

  • Possible functional gap: the new Zarr visualizeAsset branch is "deliberately unsigned," but the codebase already has a SAS-signing mechanism (readableHref/planetaryComputerSigner) built specifically for Planetary Computer's private Azure containers (which answer 409, one of the statuses this PR treats as "unauthorized"). Since the PR ships a real Planetary Computer ERA5 fixture, this could mean that exact kind of asset always fails as "unauthorized" in practice even though the app already knows how to obtain credentials for it. Flagged inline at packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-stac.ts:717-726. Confidence: medium.
  • Minor UX nit: canAddAsset doesn't account for zarrStoreTakesKeys, so a Zarr href with a query string shows an enabled Add button that will deterministically fail on click. Flagged inline at packages/plugins/src/plugins/stac-api.ts:1054-1056. Confidence: low-medium, cosmetic only.

Quality (low-medium confidence): canAddAsset enables Add for any Zarr asset with a valid target, but doesn't account for zarrStoreTakesKeys (a store URL carrying a query string / SAS token, e.g. a signed Azure blob URL). For such an asset the Add button renders enabled with add.title showing the plain asset.href (via addReason), the user clicks Add, and it always fails immediately with "This Zarr store's address cannot be read one key at a time" — the check happens only inside zarrTargetCheck at click time (maplibre-stac.ts line ~725).

This is inconsistent with how the Icechunk case is handled: isIcechunkAsset is checked synchronously here and in addReason, so Icechunk assets get Add disabled up front with an accurate tooltip. Since zarrStoreTakesKeys needs no network call, folding it into canAddAsset (e.g. !requiresTarget(asset) || (assetTargets(...).length > 0 && zarrStoreTakesKeys(zarrStorePath(asset.href).url))) and into addReason would give the same "always disabled, no wasted click" treatment for a signed-URL Zarr asset that the Icechunk path already gets.

Not a functional bug — the error message eventually shown is correct — just a UX/consistency gap worth a look.

Traced the full Zarr STAC flow (assetFormat detection, zarrTargets spatial-dimension filtering incl. axis-labelling edge cases, zarrStorePath splitting store vs. embedded array path, zarrCrs precedence across asset/item/cube-dimension sources, zarrTargetCheck's v2/v3 probing and unauthorized/refused-key handling, the target <select> UI state machine in maplibre-stac.ts, and the Azure storage-options precedence change in normalizeItem) against the accompanying unit tests, the two real-catalog fixtures (EOPF, Planetary Computer era5), and the e2e spec — all lined up correctly, including the less obvious cases like the "refused-then-succeeded" and "CORS-blind-404" fetch races in zarrTargetCheck.

Security: None found. New STAC-catalog-derived strings (asset titles, variable labels) are rendered via el()'s textContent, not innerHTML, so no injection risk from a malicious catalog. Fetches for the target-check preflight are unauthenticated by design (documented rationale: signed URLs can't survive key-appending), which is a reasonable, intentional restriction rather than a vulnerability.

Performance: None found. zarrTargetCheck does at most 3 sequential small fetches, only on an explicit Add click, not on render/selection changes.

Quality: One inconsistency flagged inline (medium-low confidence) — canAddAsset/addReason check isIcechunkAsset synchronously to disable Add up front with an accurate tooltip, but don't do the same for zarrStoreTakesKeys (signed/query-bearing Zarr URLs), even though that check is also synchronous. Result: Add renders enabled for such assets and always fails immediately on click with a fixed error, whereas Icechunk assets get the same information without a wasted click. Not a functional bug — the eventual error message is correct.

Medium confidence: zarrTargets accepts a variable as drawable once its spatial dimensions include both x and y, but it doesn't reject variables that span more than two labelled spatial axes (e.g. x, y, and z all present — a genuine 3D cube such as elevation/atmospheric data with a vertical axis marked type: "spatial", axis: "z"). The across.length < 2 check only rules out fewer than 2 spatial dims, not more.

Such a variable would pass this filter and get added via addZarrRasterLayer with no selector for the extra dimension (the panel never populates one), so the renderer would silently default to an arbitrary index for z rather than exposing a way to choose it — unlike the 2D "vertical cross-section" case (lat+depth) that this function is explicitly written to exclude.

Worth confirming whether this 3-spatial-dim case is intentionally out of scope for this PR, and if so whether it should also be filtered out here (e.g. across.length === 2 instead of < 2) alongside the vertical-cross-section case, so the two are treated consistently.

Intentional, and tested rather than assumed — same answer as the two earlier threads on this.

I built a (depth, lat, lon) store with all three axes labelled spatial, served it through a local catalog and clicked Add: it adds, draws a slice, logs no errors, and Zoom to layer flies to the bbox. The renderer defaults the un-selected spatial dimension exactly as it defaults time, and (time, y, x) cubes have shipped that way in this PR's demo catalog throughout.

So rejecting three-axis variables would hide data that renders. Choosing which level (or timestep) is the slice-picker gap — a separate feature, and one that wants doing for time as much as for z.

lat + depth is the case that genuinely cannot be placed: no horizontal pair. That one is excluded, with a test.

The Zarr URL/variable handling is careful about not embedding query strings mid-path (zarrStoreTakesKeys), deliberately reads stores unsigned rather than baking tokens into a per-key request stream, and new DOM insertions (el()) use textContent, so untrusted catalog strings (titles, variable names) can't inject markup.

Performance

  • None found. zarrTargetCheck probes candidate keys sequentially with early-exit on success, which is appropriate (avoids redundant requests once a match is found), and canAddAsset/assetTargets deliberately avoid a network round-trip just to enable/disable the Add button.

Quality

  • Low confidence nit: interface Node { node_type?: string } in stac-api.ts shadows the global DOM Node type within that module. It isn't otherwise referenced in the file so there's no functional conflict today, but a more specific name (e.g. ZarrNodeMetadata) would avoid confusion for future edits.
  • Otherwise the change is well-structured: format detection, target selection, CRS/account resolution, and the async verdict check are cleanly separated into small pure functions, each with focused unit tests (including against real captured Planetary Computer / EOPF payloads), and the UI wiring (addReason/canAddAsset/assetOptionLabel) stays consistent across all call sites.

CLAUDE.md

  • No violations found. New user-facing strings go through t()/en.json as required, docs/plugin-api.md was updated to reflect the narrowed Zarr scope (Icechunk now out of scope), and the non-English locale catalogs are intentionally left partial per the project's i18n test (i18n-catalogs.test.ts only asserts no typoed/extra keys, not full parity).
