Research direction

Start by locating the project's dependency configuration and the ome-zarr-py dependency. Check the supported dask range against the parameter-name incompatibility described in the issue, then verify that the upper bound prevents installation of Dask 2026.1.2 while retaining ome-zarr-py support.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The latest dask changes some parameter names and is not supported by ome-zarr-py. Since we depend on ome-zarr-py, we need to put an upper bound on dask until this is addressed.
