Part of #1291, step 1 (fallible allocation), part 3: the engine's raster commands. It follows #1328 (analysis output rasters), #1338 (ASCII grids, Zarr, pictures) and #1370 (GeoTIFF and COG).

What

A raster command whose output can't be allocated now fails with "not enough memory for a W × H raster" instead of aborting the process. This holds in the browser and on Windows; on Linux it catches impossible requests, while overcommit can still let a reservation succeed and fail later (as #1291 says). The buffers that now reserve their memory first:

  • Mosaic (raster.mosaic) and the workspace's mosaic: the output bands.
  • Georeference and Edit Pixels: the copy of the raster each makes.
  • Resample and Clip (by extent and by polygon): the output bands.
  • Change Detection: the output band. It also no longer copies the "before" band first.
  • Data cube, including a Zarr store's: the block of values a piece reads, the trend tool's output, and the per-cell totals the summary statistics keep.

Pixels, sizes and the existing limits are unchanged.

How

  • rustgis_data::raster::collected(w, h, values) is new: a w × h band of an iterator's values, its memory reserved first. Resample, Clip and Change Detection build their bands through it instead of collect().
  • The rest go through raster::filled and raster::grid (feat(data): ASCII grids, Zarr stores and pictures the machine can't hold are errors, not crashes (#1291 step 1, part 2) #1338), so the error message has one implementation.
  • A raster's copy keeps its whole bands. A band of the wrong length is still refused by Raster::new, as before, not cut to fit.
  • cube::Totals::new returns a Result. Its callers in cube.rs and zarr.rs pass the error up.

Not in this part

Tests

  • a_band_too_large_to_hold_is_an_error now also covers collected: an impossible size is an error, and it takes at most w × h values.
  • The raster command and data cube tests pass unchanged: the same pixels and statistics.
  • No command hits the new error end to end in a test, since the existing limits (MAX_PIXELS, the cube's value cap) refuse any request large enough first.
  • cargo xtask ci passes locally (fmt, clippy, tests, layers), apart from two tests that fail only on this machine (GDAL and a damaged-Shapefile fixture).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added public raster helpers for reserving band capacity and collecting values into a band.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Raster, imagery, cube reduction, and Zarr operations now return errors when required memory allocation fails.
    • Raster collection reports errors when the input exceeds the requested dimensions; shorter inputs are returned without padding.

…crashes (opengeos#1291 step 1, part 3)

The raster-size buffers the engine's raster commands allocate are reserved first, through
rustgis_data::raster::{filled, collected}: the mosaics' bands, the copies Georeference and
Edit Pixels make, Resample's and Clip's output bands, Change Detection's output, and the data
cube's block, trend output and per-cell totals. raster::collected is new: a w × h band of an
iterator's values, its memory reserved first.

Walkthrough

Raster and data-cube buffers now use fallible allocation helpers. Allocation failures propagate through affected imagery commands, cube reductions, and Zarr reduction initialization. The new raster helper collects up to the requested band size and includes tests for allocation errors and input lengths.

Changes: Raster and Cube Allocation Error Propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Raster collection helper
crates/data/src/raster/mod.rs
The new collected helper reserves a raster-sized vector, limits collection to the requested dimensions, and returns reservation errors. Tests cover allocation failure and inputs shorter or longer than the requested size. The room helper is now public.
Imagery buffer allocation
crates/engine/src/cmd/imagery.rs
Imagery commands use fallible helpers to copy, collect, or fill raster bands. Allocation errors return from the affected commands. change borrows its source band instead of cloning it.
Cube allocation and reduction propagation
crates/engine/src/cmd/cube.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/zarr.rs
Cube buffers and Totals::new use fallible allocation. Reduction and Zarr initialization propagate errors from totals construction.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: raster commands and data-cube operations that cannot allocate their output now return errors instead of crashing. It also names the engine scope and the tracking issue step. The title is long, at 99 characters, but it is specific and matches the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections: Summary, Testing, and Related issue. It explains the what and how, lists the affected commands, names the out-of-scope items, and describes test coverage. The UI evidence section is absent, but the author states the PR has no visible UI change, which the template allows. The Related issue section is not filled in as a formal link. The description refers to #1291 in its body, so the reference is present but not in the template's closing format.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 82.35% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 17 functions across 4 files.

Code review

The change is correct as far as I could check by reading. Every raster allocation I traced is reserved with try_reserve_exact before it is filled, and the callers keep the same pixels and statistics. I found no bugs and no security issues. I could not compile or run the tests here (no shell), so the build and test status rests on the PR's own claim that cargo xtask ci passes.

I checked:

  • raster::grid, filled and collected (crates/data/src/raster/mod.rs): the checked_mul and the fallible reservation are in the right order.
  • Every Totals::new caller (cube.rs and zarr.rs): each propagates the error with ?, and the enclosing functions return Result<_, String>.
  • Change detection now borrows a.bands instead of cloning it. The borrow ends before add(...), so it compiles.
  • The resample, clip, mosaic and edit-pixels bands match the old lengths.
  • clippy.toml sets allow-unwrap-in-tests = true, so the test .unwrap() in cube.rs is allowed.

Bugs: none found.

Security: none found.

Performance: none significant. Totals::new now writes zero fills where vec![0.0; n] used calloc. The cost is small next to the compute (see the inline nit on cube.rs:1278).

Quality

  • copied reserves w × h but copies the band's own length. This only matters for a band longer than w × h, which Raster::new normally prevents. Confidence about 40%. (imagery.rs:185)
  • raster::collected silently drops values past w × h through take. No current caller hits this, so no data is lost today. Confidence about 35%. (data/raster/mod.rs:49)
  • The Totals error reads "a N × 1 raster" for a totals array. This is a nit. (cube.rs:1278)

AGENTS.md

  • Test coverage: AGENTS says every crash fix gets a regression test. The only new test covers the collected primitive. The failure paths in Totals::new, copied, resample, clip and mosaic have no test, as the PR description admits. Confidence high that this is a gap, but it is a judgement call whether it blocks.
  • Never-silent and translation rules: no new user-facing literals and no silent losses in the current callers, so no violation.

Earlier concerns: none. There were no prior review threads on this PR, so I left none alone.

I posted three inline comments: imagery.rs:185, data/raster/mod.rs:49 and cube.rs:1278.

1291-1291: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Make the reduction output allocations fallible.

Totals::finish, Totals::mask, and Totals::columns build their output vectors with an infallible collect(). An allocation failure there aborts the process. These calls run after Totals::new has succeeded. Build the outputs with a fallible constructor and return Result. Propagate the error at the zarr.rs and cube.rs call sites.

…too; collected refuses extra values

From the review of opengeos#1371: the trend outputs, the frequency mask and a new statistics column took
the cube's full length with reserve_exact or with_capacity, which abort when it can't be had.
They now reserve through cube::reserve, whose error names the cells; the per-cell totals use it
too, so their error no longer calls them a raster. raster::collected now refuses more than
w × h values instead of cutting them off, and a raster's copy reserves its bands' own length
(raster::room, now public).

Code review

Bugs: None found. I traced the new fallible paths in raster/mod.rs, cube.rs, zarr.rs and imagery.rs. The checked_mul in grid, the take(w*h) plus overflow check in collected, and the ? propagation into Result<_, String> callers all hold. Short inputs to change still fail at Raster::new via derive, so they are errors rather than silent. Confidence: high.

Security: None found. No new parsing or input handling. Confidence: high.

Performance: None significant. copied and collected do the same copies as before. Totals::new now writes zeros where vec![0.0; n] used calloc. The cost is small next to the per-cell work, as the earlier thread notes. Confidence: high.

Quality (nits, grouped; per AGENTS these can wait for the release quality pass):

  • The wording "not enough memory for a N × M raster" is still used for the trend block (cube.rs:688) and out (cube.rs:727), which are per-cell buffers. The earlier thread fixed this only for Totals. Using cube::reserve at those two sites would match. Confidence: medium.
  • Three near-identical reservation helpers now exist: raster::room (now pub), cube::reserve, and analysis/src/tools.rs:1280. Confidence: medium.
  • collected rejects too many values but silently returns a short band for too few. Callers rely on Raster::new to catch that, and the doc doesn't say so. Confidence: low.
  • ReduceRun::place now has two ok_or("a date in no group") calls around a manual is_none check. Confidence: low.

AGENTS.md:

  • Regression tests (posted inline, cube.rs:1276): every crash fix needs a regression test. The new error paths in Totals::new, stack_columns, the trend outputs and copied have none, and the PR body concedes no command hits them end to end. Confidence: medium-high (about 75%).
  • Unwraps are only in test code, which clippy.toml allows. There are no new unsafe blocks or non-test panics. Translation and attribution do not apply to this change.

Prior threads: Four earlier threads exist, all resolved or outdated, and each was addressed in 648b3f45. I left those four concerns alone. I re-raised only the wording point, and only on the new call sites listed above.
