📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces enum-only entity types with variant-backed values, adds typed file lookup, tracks buffer-priority dimensions, updates query callback types, and standardizes several exception types.

Changes

Entity types and file lookup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Variant-backed entity type model include/mzpeak/schema/entity_type.h, src/schema/entity_type.cpp, include/mzpeak/schema/file.h, src/schema/file.cpp, include/mzpeak/data/array_index.h	EntityType now preserves known types and arbitrary strings. It provides derived index and metadata key methods. Default values use EntityType("other").
Typed file lookup integration include/mzpeak/index.h, src/index.cpp, include/mzpeak/util/manager.h, src/util/manager.cpp, src/spectrum.cpp, src/data/signals.cpp, bin/mzp-inspect.cpp, test/*	File lookup now uses entity type and data kind values. Production and test code uses find_file and EntityType key methods.
Buffer-priority dimension handling include/mzpeak/data/array_index.h, src/data/array_index.cpp, src/spectra.cpp, test/array_index_test.cpp	Dimensions store and group by buffer_priority. Default projections select only priority Mz and Intensity dimensions.
Typed errors and callback contracts include/mzpeak/data/encoding.h, include/mzpeak/data/null_marking.h, include/mzpeak/exception.h, include/mzpeak/util/enumerable_proxy.h, include/mzpeak/util/query.h, src/io/zip.cpp	Several failure paths now throw named exception objects. InvalidIterator is renamed to InvalidIteratorError. Query callbacks use boost::compat::function_ref.

Poem

A rabbit checks the index tree,
With typed keys hopping free.
Priority buffers line the way,
While errors speak in types today.
“New metadata paths,” I cheer,
And nibble tests beside the ear.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c3975

This PR changes entity typing and array, spectrum, and archive handling, but at the current head it can make valid custom entities unfindable, split one logical dimension into duplicates, return empty spectra when metadata is absent, and misclassify archive or I/O failures as format errors. These correctness and data-access risks should be fixed before merging.

12-12: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep boost::compat::function_ref out of the public API.

Query::eval exposes boost::compat::function_ref through eval_callback_t and eval_range_callback_t in the public include/mzpeak tree. This couples users to an implementation-only Boost.Compat type and its non-owning lifetime contract. Use a project-owned callback abstraction or hide function_ref behind the implementation boundary.

Inline comments:
In `@include/mzpeak/util/manager.h`:
- Line 42: Update the lookup API and implementation to support full
variant-backed Schema::EntityType values, including custom strings: change the
declaration in include/mzpeak/util/manager.h:42-42, compare the complete entity
variant rather than rejecting type() == nullopt in src/util/manager.cpp:76-83,
and expose the same full-value lookup through Index in src/index.cpp:30-33.

In `@src/data/array_index.cpp`:
- Around line 284-285: Update the comparator used to sort entries before
chunk_by so it orders by every field used by dimensions(), including array_name,
the two dimension fields, array_type, and buffer_priority. Preserve grouping by
adjacency and add a regression case covering a primary, secondary, primary
ordering that must produce one Dimension for the logical key.

In `@src/io/zip.cpp`:
- Line 134: Update Zip::Impl::error to distinguish libzip format errors from
missing-entry, I/O, seek, memory, and other archive failures: retain
InvalidFormatError only for malformed archive cases, and throw the appropriate
separate archive/I/O error for all other categories.

In `@src/spectra.cpp`:
- Around line 36-38: Update the array-index filtering logic in
ArrayIndex::dimensions() so Mz and Intensity dimensions remain included when
entries omit buffer_priority and the field defaults to false. Preserve the
intended fallback behavior or explicitly require and validate the metadata, and
add a fixture covering the missing-field case so Spectra::fetch() returns both
arrays.
