Subject: [PATCH 01/16] fix(catalog): close the SQLite connections

`with sqlite3.connect(...)` ends the transaction but does not close the connection, so every catalog
call left one open until the interpreter exited (ResourceWarning: unclosed database under -X dev).
_get_connection is now a context manager that commits or rolls back and then closes.

Tests fail on the previous code.

Subject: [PATCH 02/16] fix(aligner): close the source raster after aligning

rioxarray.open_rasterio was never closed. The handle was finalised at interpreter exit and every
`disscube run` that derived a variable ended with "Error in sys.excepthook:" on stderr (exit code 0,
results fine). The raster is now closed in a finally block, once the aligned arrays are in memory.

The test fails on the previous code.

Subject: [PATCH 03/16] feat: read, write and derive sources larger than memory

The MapBiomas and PRODES adapters read the window and write the registered GeoTIFF a block of rows at a
time (uint8, copy_window + register_file). derive() aligns a raster source a strip of grid rows at a time
when it has more than block_pixels pixels (default 50 million; DISSCUBE_BLOCK_PIXELS or the block_pixels
argument), for the operators whose cells depend only on the pixels inside them (Operator.block_safe). The
aligner clips the band to the grid before reprojecting and takes the fine resolution from the whole source.

The PRODES of the whole Legal Amazon (9.7 billion pixels) or MapBiomas over Brazil at 30 m is then one
pipeline file; no new TOML syntax. Registered MapBiomas files are byte for byte those of 0.5.0.

Strips equal the whole grid for class shares, majority and median with GDAL's exact transformer; with the
default approximate one an edge cell can pick the neighbouring source pixel. mean and sum agree to ~1e-12.
The BDC adapter still reads whole windows.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+- **Sources and grids larger than memory.** The MapBiomas and PRODES adapters read the window and write the
+  registered GeoTIFF a block of rows at a time, in the file's own `uint8` (new `copy_window`, `register_file`),
+  instead of one float32 array of the whole window. `derive` aligns a raster source a strip of grid rows at
+  a time when it has more than `block_pixels` pixels (default 50 million, `DISSCUBE_BLOCK_PIXELS` or
+  `derive(..., block_pixels=)`), for the operators that work cell by cell (`Operator.block_safe`: mean, sum, std,
+  median, min, max, majority, minority, percentage). The aligner clips the source to the grid before
+  reprojecting. No new TOML syntax: the PRODES of the whole Legal Amazon (86,679 × 111,508 pixels) on a 5.28 km
+  grid, or MapBiomas over Brazil at 30 m, is one pipeline file. Registered MapBiomas files are byte for byte the
+  ones of 0.5.0. Class shares, majority and median of a strip equal those of the whole grid when GDAL's exact
+  transformer is used; with its default approximate one a cell on an edge can pick the neighbouring source
+  pixel (1 cell in 3,422 in the test). `mean` and `sum` agree to about 1e-12. The BDC adapter still reads whole windows.
+
 ### Fixed
 - **`Error in sys.excepthook:` at the end of `disscube run`.** The aligner opened the source raster and never
   closed it; the open handle was finalised at interpreter exit. It is now closed once the aligned arrays are in memory.

percentage = [3, 4, 5, 6, 49] is the share of the cell in any of the listed classes. A MapBiomas level-1
class (Forest, Farming, Water…) is a group of leaf codes, and the coverage maps hold only leaves. Raster sources
only; a vector source still takes a single class.

Subject: [PATCH 05/16] feat(majority, minority): params.groups reads the map
 at  a coarser level

groups = {label = [codes]} replaces the codes of each group by its label before the reduction, so one
derivation gives the dominant MapBiomas level-1 class from the leaf-class map. Codes in no group and nodata
are ignored; a code listed in two groups is an error.

Subject: [PATCH 06/16] feat(prodes): separate_water gives the hydrography
 class its  own code

PRODES folded the hydrography of the edition into 'other' (3). With
separate_water = true (TOML, or register_prodes_source/read_prodes/Scheme.lookup)
it is class 4, so a map of the classes shows rivers apart from non-forest
vegetation. Off by default: the local map is unchanged. Tested on a legend
with a hydrography class, and on the real edition (Amazon near Santarem).

 ### Added
+- **PRODES: `separate_water = true`** gives the hydrography class of the edition its own code (4) instead of folding it into
+  `other` (3), so a map of the classes can show rivers apart from non-forest vegetation. Off by default: the local map is
+  unchanged (1 forest, 2 deforested up to the year, 3 other).
 - **`majority` and `minority` accept `params = {groups = {label = [codes]}}`**: the map is read at a coarser level and
   the result is the label of the group that covers most (least) of the cell. One derivation gives the MapBiomas level-1
   class (`"1" = [3, 4, 5, 6, 49]`, …) from the leaf-class map. Codes in no group, and nodata, are ignored; a code in two

Subject: [PATCH 07/16] feat(prodes): the local code of each category is
 declared in  [source.codes]

Replaces the separate_water flag (not released): [source.codes] (or codes= in
register_prodes_source) gives the code of forest, deforested, non_forest and
water; categories with one code are merged. Default unchanged (1, 2, 3, 3).
docs/guides/landcover.md says how the legend is read (labels -> categories)
and lists the legend of the current edition.

Subject: [PATCH 08/16] fix(derive): split the grid into blocks of rows and
 columns,  sized by the footprint in the source

A strip of grid rows spans the whole width of the grid; in a projected grid over a
longitude/latitude source (BDC Albers over the Legal Amazon, PRODES in EPSG:4674) its
footprint is ~0.4 G source pixels whatever its height, so the block budget did not
bound the memory (OOM, exit 137). Blocks are now rows x columns, halved along the
larger side until the measured footprint in the source is within block_pixels.

Subject: [PATCH 09/16] fix(prodes): keep the yearly classes d2010 to d2025
 when a  residual class has the same year

The lookup merged {year: code} of the dYYYY and rYYYY classes in one dictionary, so the
residual class overwrote the yearly one for every year from 2010 and its pixels came out
as no data. The two kinds are now looped separately. Found by running Acre: accumulated
deforestation rose by 1 thousand km2 from 2008 to 2024 instead of 12 thousand.

 ### Fixed
+- **PRODES: the yearly classes d2010 to d2025 were dropped.** In the edition's legend every year from 2010 has a
+  yearly class (dYYYY, codes 10 to 25) and a residual class (rYYYY, codes 50 to 65); the lookup was built from a dictionary
+  keyed by year, so the residual class replaced the yearly one and the pixels of d2010 to d2025 came out as no data. A map of
+  forest or of accumulated deforestation lacked them (about a quarter of the deforestation of Acre, whose accumulated
+  deforestation rose by 1 thousand km² between 2008 and 2024 in place of 12 thousand). Both kinds of class are now in the
+  lookup. Maps made with an earlier version should be made again.
 - **`Error in sys.excepthook:` at the end of `disscube run`.** The aligner opened the source raster and never
   closed it; the open handle was finalised at interpreter exit. It is now closed once the aligned arrays are in memory.
 - **SQLite connections of the catalog are closed.** `with sqlite3.connect(...)` only ends the transaction;

Subject: [PATCH 13/16] fix(aligner): repair invalid vector geometries before 
 clipping

The reprojection can make a valid polygon self-intersect, and GeoDataFrame.clip then
raises TopologyException. One bad feature among 10,000 (INCRA settlements, found in the
open-lucc-workflow) stopped the whole pipeline. Repair only the invalid features after the
reprojection and log how many.

Subject: [PATCH 14/16] chore(release): 0.6.0; run.json records the DisSCube
 version

Version 0.6.0 in pyproject.toml, CITATION.cff (date-released 2026-10-14) and the
README BibTeX. The Unreleased section of the changelog becomes 0.6.0, with the two
Fixed blocks merged. run.json now carries "disscube": the installed version (null
when running from a source tree that is not installed), so a run is tied to a
release without noting the commit by hand; test and docs updated. The README
limitation on memory now says which sources are read by blocks (MapBiomas, PRODES)
and which in memory (Brazil Data Cube item windows, all held before the reduction).

ignored, the approximate transformer stays in use and a few cells of majority differ
between blocks and the whole grid (8 of 1260 and 11 of 3422), which failed the

skips there; the changelog says where the equality holds.
