Description

An optical path could state a value varying along distance only when that value was a CRS position, and a CRS holds at most three axes. Borehole depth where the CRS is already spent on easting/northing/elevation, pipeline chainage, burial depth, fiber azimuth — all of them fell in the gap, and the only place left for them was annotations, which is a set of intervals rather than a curve and carries no units.

Geometry.coordinates becomes a mapping of column name to values, with a units mapping beside it for the columns which are not axes.

segment,distance,depth (m),azimuth (degree)
hole 1,1580.0,0.0,0.0
hole 1,1620.0,20.0,3.5

Which columns are axes is the CRS's to say. A column it declares, or the canonical x/y/z alias of one, is that position axis and takes the CRS's units. Anything else is a quantity in its own right. So depth is an axis in a CRS which declares it and a plain column in one which does not, and no data has to move for that to be true.

A segment states every axis or none of them. Half a position is not a position, and deciding what the missing axis meant is not a reader's job. A segment stating no axis at all — the chainage case — is now an ordinary thing to write, and contributes no position rather than a broken one.

Each column is its own function track. Two segments may cover the same distance as long as they do not state the same column over it, which is what lets depth and azimuth be surveyed independently along one hole. Interpolation, half-open coverage, the run-end rule, and interval are unchanged, and a column never bridges two segments: distance between them is uncovered, whatever either side holds.

Reading and writing

In a CSV, a header the CRS does not name is such a column and may carry its units in parentheses, depth (m). Text there is refused with an error pointing at annotations.csv — a value which varies along the fiber without being a number is what annotations are for. A unit suffix on an axis header is refused too, since the CRS states the units of its own axes.

Enrichment resolves a column after the CRS-label step and before the annotation fallback, so spool.select(depth=(0, 50)), a blanket enrich(), and get_names all pick it up with no further work. The value is a point sample at the channel's nominal position; there is no gauge-length averaging, and the docs say so.

Signature change

OpticalPath.coordinates_at(distances) becomes coordinates_at(distances, crs). Without the CRS the method cannot tell an axis from a column, and guessing is exactly what this PR removes. It also now raises rather than returning a half-width row when an unchecked path holds a segment stating some axes and not others.

v1 exclusions

Stated so they are choices rather than oversights: axes are all-or-none per segment; interpolation is linear only; there is no angular wraparound for azimuth-like columns. FDSN export is not addressed because none exists — the only fdsn in the inventory module is the prose describing location codes.

Not in this PR

Patch.coords_from_df (dascore/proc/coords.py) is the manual version of this projection, and its gap-bridging across missing spans is worth a separate look.

This PR is red for a reason that is not in it: #912. tests/test_autogenerated_doccode/recipes/test_tunnel_inventory.py fails on dev and therefore here, on every test_code job and in test_build_docs. OpticalPathAnnotation.value defaults to True, and 1 == True, so serialization drops a numeric value of 1 as equal to the default; the document then reloads with a boolean in a numeric group and is refused. The tunnel recipe numbers its boreholes 1, 2, 3, so it has been failing since it merged. #912 fixes that in one place; with it applied, the full suite here is 10,209 passed and 0 failed.

Review

Codex reviewed the change and found eight things, taken in c2a728c7. Two of them placed the fiber wrongly rather than loudly: a segment stating x/y/z and another stating longitude/latitude/elevation over the same distance are two spellings of one axis, and checking columns by name alone let the overlap through; and a segment stating x and longitude has three distinct axes, so it passed the partial-position guard, after which whichever spelling the mapping held last silently won. Both are now refused, the second where the position is assembled rather than only where it is checked.

The rest: a segment which measures without placing no longer claims the position track's run end, or offers an axis of nan where nothing places the fiber at all; a dotted column name is refused, since that is how a field of a typed track is asked for; select and reverse revalidate rather than copying past the validators, so a selected segment's columns stay frozen and checked; distance (m) beside distance is a duplicate rather than a pandas TypeError; and z is a column of its own under a CRS declaring two axes, in a CSV as it already was in the model.

Changelog

  • added: a geometry segment can state named numeric columns which are not positions, such as borehole depth or chainage, with their own units, and they reach a patch as coordinates like any other inventory name.
  • changed: Geometry.coordinates is a mapping of column name to values rather than a tuple of coordinate rows, and OpticalPath.coordinates_at takes the coordinate reference system as a second argument.

Checklist

I have:

  • filled in the Changelog section above (see docs/contributing/general_guidelines.qmd).

I have (if applicable):

  • referenced the GitHub issue this PR closes.
  • documented the new feature with docstrings and/or appropriate doc page.
  • included tests. See testing guidelines.
  • added the "ready_for_review" tag once the PR is ready to be reviewed.

An optical path could state a value varying along distance only if that
value was a CRS position, and a CRS holds at most three axes. Borehole
depth where the CRS is spent on easting, northing, and elevation;
pipeline chainage; burial depth; fiber azimuth -- all of them fell in
the gap, and the only place left for them was annotations, which are a
set of intervals rather than a curve and hold no unit.

Geometry.coordinates becomes a mapping of column name to values, with a
units mapping beside it for the columns which are not axes. Which ones
those are is the CRS's to say: a column it declares, or the canonical
x/y/z alias of one, is that axis and takes the CRS's units; anything
else is a quantity in its own right. A segment states every axis or
none of them, so half a position never reaches a reader, and a segment
which states no axis at all is now a perfectly ordinary thing to write.

Each column is its own function track. Two segments may cover the same
distance as long as they do not state the same column over it, which is
what lets a borehole depth and a fiber azimuth be surveyed
independently. Interpolation, half-open coverage, and the run-end rule
are unchanged, and a column never bridges two segments.

In a CSV, a header the CRS does not name is such a column and may carry
its units in parentheses -- `depth (m)`. Text is refused there, with an
error pointing at annotations.csv, which is where a value that varies
along the fiber without being a number belongs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The inventory geometry model now stores named numeric columns with optional units. CRS-defined axes are resolved explicitly, while non-axis geometry columns support interpolation, validation, projection, selection, and coordinate-name discovery.

Changes

Geometry inventory model

Layer / File(s) Summary
Named geometry model and validation
dascore/core/inventory.py, dascore/examples.py, tests/test_core/test_inventory.py
Geometry uses named coordinate columns and per-column units. CRS axis resolution, column validation, interpolation, clipping, reversal, and optical-path accessors use the new model.
Geometry table loading
dascore/core/inventory_loader.py, tests/test_core/test_inventory_loader.py
Geometry tables gather arbitrary columns, parse header units, validate CRS axis completeness, reject invalid or text columns, and store numeric grouped coordinates.
Geometry projection and coordinate discovery
dascore/core/_spool_inventory.py, dascore/proc/inventory.py, tests/test_proc/test_proc_inventory.py, docs/recipes/tunnel_inventory.qmd, docs/tutorial/inventory.qmd
Projection passes the CRS for position lookup and supports non-axis geometry columns. Blanket coordinate discovery excludes canonical axes and includes additional geometry columns. Documentation describes the updated geometry rules and examples.

Assert that the position axes survive the overlapping depth segment.

_with_depth adds a segment over 100 to 200 m while the example trench segment already covers 100 to 400 m with x, y, and z. This is the overlap case which coordinates_at handles by partitioning distances across every segment, including segments which state no axis (see the comment on dascore/core/inventory.py lines 1209-1236). No assertion here checks that x is still placed on the channels the depth segment also covers, so a regression there would pass.

P2 Badge Reject overlaps between aliases of the same axis

When two overlapping segments spell the same CRS axes differently—for example, one uses x/y and the other uses easting/northing—the spans are grouped under different raw names, so Inventory.check() accepts both. coordinates_at() then writes both segments into the same canonical axis and whichever segment is iterated last silently wins, making the reported position depend on segment ordering. Canonicalize axis columns through the CRS when checking overlaps.

P2 Badge Treat absent position axes as missing coordinates

For a path containing only non-position geometry columns, which is now explicitly legal, coordinates_at() returns an all-NaN array and this wraps it as a defined axis coordinate. Consequently an explicit coords=("x",) bypasses on_missing, while blanket enrichment manufactures all-NaN x/y/z coordinates even though no segment states a position. Return None when no geometry segment declares the requested axis, while retaining NaNs only for uncovered distances of an axis that actually exists.

P2 Badge Compute axis endpoint masks only from axis segments

When an axis-bearing segment ends exactly where an independent custom-column segment begins, the latter marks that distance as claimed because masks are computed across every geometry segment. The axis segment therefore loses its final control point, and the custom segment is skipped for having no axes, leaving a NaN position at that channel. Build these masks from only the segments that state position axes so unrelated numeric columns cannot alter axis endpoint coverage.

P2 Badge Resolve canonical aliases when validating CSV axes

A geometry CSV may legally mix canonical and CRS spellings, such as x,northing for a two-axis easting,northing CRS, because axis_index() maps x to the first axis. This check only intersects headers with the literal CRS labels, so it sees only northing and rejects that complete position as partial; the same geometry constructed through the model passes validation. Determine axis completeness through crs.axis_index() rather than literal label membership.

P2 Badge Preserve frozen coordinate mappings after path transforms

When select() clips any geometry, model_copy(update=...) skips field validation and stores this ordinary mutable dict instead of the declared FrozenDictType; reverse() repeats the same pattern. Callers can therefore mutate selected.geometry[0].coordinates despite inventory models' immutability contract, changing path metadata in place.

P2 Badge Keep the bare geometry identity unambiguous

With overlaps now permitted whenever segments state different columns, two differently named geometry segments can cover the same channel and still pass this per-column check. The public bare geometry coordinate is still projected from each segment's name over its whole interval, so at an overlap _fill_from_intervals() silently leaves whichever name was processed last; selecting or grouping by geometry therefore depends on tuple order. Either disallow such overlaps when the segment names differ or stop exposing a single-valued bare geometry identity for them.

P2 Badge Reserve qualified typed-track coordinate names

A new geometry column named coupling.medium, geometry.name, or another qualified typed-track name passes this reserved-name set and is advertised by get_names(), but get_coord_values() always dispatches names with those prefixes to the typed track before checking geometry columns. The geometry values are therefore unreachable and may silently resolve to a completely different coordinate. Include the qualified typed-track vocabulary in the reserved column names or reject these collisions during path validation.

P2 Badge Reject unit suffixes on structural geometry headers

If a CSV spells the required optical-distance header as distance (ft), this normalization renames it to distance, allowing _point_rows() to use those values as the geometry's meter-based optical distances while the parsed ft unit is discarded because ordering columns are not gathered into units. The inventory then loads successfully with every geometry interval misplaced by the unit conversion factor. Refuse suffixes that normalize to distance or segment rather than treating them as ordinary numeric columns.

Eight findings, of which two placed the fiber wrongly rather than
loudly. A segment stating `x`, `y`, `z` and another stating
`longitude`, `latitude`, `elevation` over the same distance are two
spellings of one axis, and checking columns by name alone let them
both through; the axes are now checked again against what the CRS says
they are. A segment stating `x` *and* `longitude` has three distinct
axes and passed the partial-position guard, after which whichever
spelling the mapping held last won -- both are now refused where the
position is assembled, not only where it is checked.

The rest: a segment which measures without placing no longer claims the
position track's run end, or offers an axis of nan where nothing places
the fiber at all; a dotted column name is refused, since that is how a
field of a typed track is asked for; select and reverse revalidate
rather than copying past the validators, so the columns of a selected
segment stay frozen and checked; `distance (m)` beside `distance` is a
duplicate rather than a pandas TypeError; and `z` is a column of its
own under a CRS which declares only two axes, in a CSV as it already
was in the model.
Letting two segments overlap where they state different columns left
the bare `geometry` coordinate ambiguous: it is each segment's name
over its interval, so a channel covered by a depth survey and an
azimuth survey took whichever name the tuple held last, and reversing
the tuple changed what `select(geometry=...)` matched.

Segments which overlap are two measurements of one stretch of fiber,
so they state its name -- both "hole 1" rather than "depth survey" and
"azimuth survey". Overlapping segments whose names differ are refused,
which leaves the identity single-valued without taking the overlap
away.

Thanks — all eleven comments were written against 087386db, the first commit. Eight of them were the same eight a local Codex run found, and were closed in c2a728c7 before these arrived; one was new and real, and is closed in 674d94dc.

New, and taken: the bare geometry identity was ambiguous. Allowing two segments to overlap where they state different columns left the geometry coordinate — which is each segment's name over its interval — with two candidates for one channel, and the tuple's order decided it:

patch.enrich(inv, coords=("geometry",)).get_coord("geometry").values[0]
# 'azimuth survey' with geometry=(depth, azim); 'depth survey' with geometry=(azim, depth)

Rather than take the overlap away — a depth survey and an azimuth survey of one borehole is exactly what it is for — overlapping segments now have to share a name. They are two measurements of one stretch of fiber, so they state its name: both "hole 1", not "depth survey" and "azimuth survey". The identity is single-valued again and the overlap still works.

Already closed in c2a728c7, each verified against the current branch:

  • Aliases of one axis overlappingx/y/z against longitude/latitude/elevation is now caught, by checking the axes again through the CRS rather than by name.
  • Absent position axes — a path whose geometry states only columns returns None for x, so on_missing rules, and a blanket enrich no longer manufactures all-NaN axes.
  • Endpoint masks — the position track's coverage is computed from the segments which place the fiber, so a column-only segment starting where one ends no longer takes its last control point.
  • Canonical aliases in a CSV — the loader decides axis-hood with crs.axis_index, so x,northing under an easting,northing CRS loads, and z (m) under a two-axis CRS is a column of its own rather than a refused axis.
  • Frozen mappings after select/reverse — both revalidate now instead of copying past the validators, so coordinates stays a FrozenDict.
  • Qualified typed-track names — a column named coupling.medium is refused: a dotted name is how a field of a typed track is asked for.
  • distance (m) beside distance — counted against the structural columns, so it is a duplicate with the loader's own message rather than a pandas error. The same check covers distance (ft) on its own, which would otherwise have renamed onto the optical-distance column and quietly discarded the unit.

Local state on this branch: 10,210 passed, lint clean twice, doctests 155 passed. The one remaining failure is the tunnel recipe's doc-code test, which fails on dev too and is fixed by #912.

The validation had grown a helper per finding rather than a function
per idea. The path's rules are one function now and the inventory's are
another, split where they have to be: the path checks its columns by
name, and the CRS-dependent ones can only be checked where the CRS is.

Two other duplications went with them. `coordinates_at` and `column_at`
each carried their own copy of "interpolate this column, then fill the
run end the mask includes from the last control point", which is now
one helper. The loader read its headers and then coerced them in two
passes over the same columns, which is now one. `column_units` and the
separate raise-wrapper around the axis-set rule each had a single
caller and are inlined.

The prose came down too, mostly by not saying in a field description
what the class docstring above it already says.

`coordinates_at` used to return as many columns as the geometry
happened to state, so an axis the segments did not reach had to be
checked for. It returns one column per axis the CRS declares now, and
`axis_index` refuses a label the CRS has no axis for, so the index is
always one of those columns and the guard was unreachable -- which is
what took project coverage off 100%.
