Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md in the repository for the development setup, test workflow, and design ground rules. The short version:

• Every change keeps run tools/run_tests.m green, including the bidirectional zarr-python interop tests.
• New dtypes/codecs/features come with interop cases in tools/interop_cases.py + tools/interop_matlab.m proving both directions.
• Documentation examples are executed by tests/TestDocs.m — every ```matlab block in these pages must run cleanly (blocks that should not run use ```text or ```python fences).
• No Python at runtime; R2022b compatibility is enforced by CI.
