Closes #1928.

Summary

  • Adds a max_cloud_bytes budget (default 256 MiB) checked against the compressed object size before any bytes are downloaded from an fsspec source (s3://, gs://, az://, abfs://, memory://).
  • _CloudSource already pulls the object size via fsspec.size() at construction, so the guard is free.
  • Per-call override via read_to_array(max_cloud_bytes=...) / open_geotiff(max_cloud_bytes=...). Env-wide override via XRSPATIAL_GEOTIFF_MAX_CLOUD_BYTES. Pass None to disable (pre-geotiff: eager fsspec cloud read pulls full object before dim guard #1928 behaviour).
  • New CloudSizeLimitError (ValueError subclass) names the offending size, the budget, and the workarounds (raise the kwarg, set the env var, switch to chunks=... for a windowed dask read).
  • HTTP path already uses range requests and is unaffected. Local files and file-like buffers are unaffected.

Test plan

  • 14 new tests in test_cloud_read_byte_limit_1928.py cover precedence (kwarg > env > default), explicit None, oversized rejection, env-driven rejection, the open_geotiff entry point, local-path no-op, and HTTP-path no-op.
  • Existing fsspec memory-filesystem tests in test_features.py still pass (default budget is 256 MiB; test fixtures are well under).
  • Full xrspatial/geotiff/tests suite: no new failures (8 pre-existing failures in test_predictor2_big_endian_gpu_1517.py and test_size_param_validation_gpu_vrt_1776.py are stale monkeypatch / stale tile_size validation; unrelated to this PR).

Eager reads from cloud sources used to call _CloudSource.read_all()
unconditionally, pulling the entire object into memory before the TIFF
header parsed or the max_pixels guard ran. A crafted s3://, gs://, or
memory:// object could exhaust memory and bandwidth before any
dimension check fired.

Add a max_cloud_bytes budget (default 256 MiB, env override
XRSPATIAL_GEOTIFF_MAX_CLOUD_BYTES, per-call kwarg on read_to_array and
open_geotiff). _CloudSource already knows the object size from
fsspec.size() at construction, so the check runs before any bytes are
fetched. Pass max_cloud_bytes=None to opt out and restore pre-#1928
behaviour. The HTTP path already reads only what it needs via range
requests and is unaffected.

Raises a new CloudSizeLimitError (a ValueError subclass) when the cloud
object exceeds the budget, with a message that points at the kwarg, the
env var, and the dask windowed-read alternative.

Pull request overview

Adds a configurable byte budget for eager fsspec GeoTIFF reads so oversized cloud objects are rejected before full-object download.

Changes:

  • Introduces MAX_CLOUD_BYTES_DEFAULT, env/kwarg resolution, and CloudSizeLimitError.
  • Plumbs max_cloud_bytes through open_geotiff for eager reads.
  • Adds regression tests covering defaults, env overrides, explicit disable, public entry point behavior, and unaffected local/HTTP paths.

  • This default-precedence assertion (and the default-path reads later in the file) depends on the ambient XRSPATIAL_GEOTIFF_MAX_CLOUD_BYTES being unset. If a developer or CI job has that variable set to a positive value, _resolve_max_cloud_bytes(_MAX_CLOUD_BYTES_SENTINEL) returns the env value instead of MAX_CLOUD_BYTES_DEFAULT; clear it with monkeypatch.delenv(...) before asserting default behavior, as other env-default tests in this suite do.
    def test_sentinel_returns_default(self):
        assert _resolve_max_cloud_bytes(
            _MAX_CLOUD_BYTES_SENTINEL
        ) == MAX_CLOUD_BYTES_DEFAULT

- Drop unused ``importlib.util`` and ``os`` imports from the
  cloud-read byte-limit test module (flake8 F401).
- Tighten the unknown-size CloudSizeLimitError message: raising
  the byte budget does not unblock a source whose size is
  unknown, so the only working override is
  ``max_cloud_bytes=None``. Mention that explicitly.

PR #1932 added the max_cloud_bytes kw-only param to open_geotiff but
did not update _CANONICAL_ORDER in test_reader_kwarg_order_1935.py.
The signature-parity test has been failing on main on every Python
version ever since, blocking CI for every open PR.

Insert max_cloud_bytes between max_pixels and on_gpu_failure to match
the actual signature. The other readers (read_geotiff_dask,
read_geotiff_gpu, read_vrt) don't expose this kwarg yet; the
_assert_canonical helper intersects with the canonical tuple, so they
keep passing.
