Description

If chunks are irregular (for instance we had problems due to this previous bug https://github.com/scverse/spatialdata/issues/821), an error is raised upon saving. We could catch this possible error early by moving the code to check for regular chunks (it's a private function from dask.array, see here https://github.com/scverse/spatialdata/pull/861) into RasterModel.validate().

Research direction

Start with RasterModel.validate() and the regular-chunk check from dask.array referenced in pull request 861; review issue 821 for the prior irregular-chunk failure. Confirm validation runs before saving and verify that irregular chunks produce the intended early error rather than failing during save.
