Backport #707, #757, and #782 to 0.15.x branch.

TODO:

Unit tests and/or doctests in docstrings
Tests pass locally
Docstrings and API docs for any new/modified user-facing classes and functions
Changes documented in docs/release.rst
Docs build locally
GitHub Actions CI passes
Test coverage to 100% (Codecov passes)

, #782, #757) Backport three Zstandard improvements from main to the 0.15.x branch, adapted to use the v0.15.x Buffer API from compat_ext: - Add streaming decompression when frame content size is unknown (#707) - Fix negative size issue on 32-bit platforms (#782) - Support decompression of multiple concatenated frames (#757) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

pytest 9.1 raises PytestRemovedIn10Warning for non-Collection iterables passed to parametrize, which becomes an error under filterwarnings=error and aborts test collection. Wrap in tuple() to match main. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The numcodecs.zarr3 module in this branch targets the zarr 3.0.x API. zarr 3.1+ moved these codecs into zarr itself and changed internal APIs (e.g. the new dtype system), breaking test_zarr3.py. The previous `--pre zarr>=3.0.0b2` install resolved to zarr 3.2.1, causing 26 failures on Python 3.12/3.13. Pin the test dependency to a compatible zarr release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

macos-13 runners are stalling. main already moved to macos-15-large (still an Intel runner, preserving x86 coverage). Update the matrix and the clang-install conditional to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The conda-forge compilers inject -Wl,-rpath,$PREFIX/lib three times per link, producing duplicate LC_RPATH load commands. macOS 15's dyld rejects duplicate LC_RPATH at load time, so the freshly switched macos-15-large runners failed every test with an ImportError on dlopen. macos-14's older dyld tolerated the duplicates. Add a macOS-only post-build step that uses install_name_tool to remove the redundant LC_RPATH entries from numcodecs/*.so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- .readthedocs.yaml: bump build image to ubuntu-24.04 (ubuntu-20.04 was removed by Read the Docs) and cap docs zarr to <3.1, matching the 0.15.x compatibility range. - .pre-commit-config.yaml: pin the mypy hook's zarr to >=3.0.0rc1,<3.1 so type checking runs against the zarr 3.0 API that numcodecs.zarr3 targets (the unpinned hook pulled zarr 3.2, whose ZDType broke mypy). - zarr3.py: correct two `# type: ignore[arg-type]` to `[call-overload]` for np.dtype(astype) under current numpy. - wheel.yaml: swap the stalled macos-13 intel runner for macos-15-large, matching ci.yaml. - codecov.yml / pyproject.toml: exclude test files from coverage (ignore: tests/** and [tool.coverage.run] omit), matching main. - test_zarr3.py: cover AsType.evolve_from_array_spec when decode_dtype is unset, bringing zarr3.py to 100%. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The previous commit copied main's config verbatim, but this branch differs from main in two ways that broke CI: - Tests live at numcodecs/tests/ here (main moved them to top-level tests/), so codecov `ignore: tests/**` and coverage `omit = ["tests/*"]` matched nothing. Point both at numcodecs/tests so the subprocess/skipped-test lines stop counting against the 100% project target. - Read the Docs strips the quotes around post_install commands, so the `<` in 'zarr>=3.0.0b2,<3.1' was parsed as a shell input redirection ("cannot open 3.1"). Use 'zarr~=3.0.0' instead, which pins to zarr 3.0.x with no shell metacharacters. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview

Backports several Zstandard-related fixes to the 0.15.x line, extending numcodecs.zstd decompression to handle unknown content sizes (streaming mode), concatenated frames, and 32-bit size safety, with accompanying tests and CI/docs updates.

Changes:

Update numcodecs/zstd.pyx to (a) compute total decompressed size across concatenated frames, (b) stream-decompress when frame content size is unknown, and (c) guard against oversize content on 32-bit platforms.
Add/expand tests for streaming + multi-frame behavior (including cross-checks against pyzstd) and adjust a couple of ancillary tests.
Update CI/docs tooling to pin zarr 3.0.x usage on this branch and tweak macOS runner/RTD configuration.

Swap macos-13 runner for macos-15-large in CI
