feat(data): label a raster's classes from the attribute table in its .aux.xml (#889) - #1892
Part of #889. #971 labels a classified raster's legend with the <CategoryNames> of its .aux.xml. GDAL also stores class names as a raster attribute table (<GDALRasterAttributeTable>), for example from gdal_edit/Python SetDefaultRAT, or from formats that carry one. Those names were ignored, and the legend showed 1, 2, 3 …. This is the "raster attribute tables" item that #971 left out of scope.
What changes
When a band has no category names, the name column of its attribute table now gives the class names. The names land in the same PamBand::categories → band.classes path as #971's, so the Layers pane and layout legends show them for Colormap and Unique Values with no other change. There is no project-format, renderer or UI change.
Name column: the field with GDAL's name usage (GFU_Name, 2). Without one, a text field called Class_Name, ClassName, Class_Names, Class, Name or Label (any case). A table with no name column names nothing and loses nothing, for example a table of only counts and colours.
A row's value: the min-max usage field (GFU_MinMax, 5), else a field called Value. Without either:
with linear binning of unit bins, the whole number in the row's bin, ceil(Row0Min + index), so Row0Min="-0.5" gives 0, 1, …;
otherwise the row's index (GDAL's thematic convention), or its position when index is missing.
Precedence:
The sidecar's category names win over its table.
A table's names don't replace class names the GeoTIFF's own GDAL_METADATA tag gave.
Sidecar category names still replace the tag's names, as before.
Either way, a table of class names left unread is said, with a count.
Said, never silent: each notice comes once, with a count, under the sidecar's notice.
A table of value ranges (a bin size other than 1, even beside a value field, or a min or a max usage without a single value): "N attribute table(s) of value ranges not read as class names".
Names for a value that isn't a whole number from 0 to 65535.
Values named twice (the first is kept).
Rows past the first 262,144.
Class values past a budget of 2^20 shared by all of a sidecar's tables. Without it, one short row at value 65535 in each of many bands could hold 65,536 names per band.
Names cut to 256 characters, through the existing counter.
The docs paragraph on .aux.xml sidecars in docs/user-guide/data.md says the same.
Tests
crates/data/src/raster/pam.rs:
a_raster_attribute_table_names_classes: GDAL's layout; name column by usage and by name; no name column gives nothing and no notice.
a_table_without_a_value_column_numbers_its_rows: row number, and Row0Min.
category_names_win_over_a_table: the notice, and a table without a name column isn't counted.
a_tables_rows_keep_their_index_and_unit_bins_name_the_whole_number_in_them: rows given out of order, Row0Min="-0.5", a value field beside unit bins, wide bins beside a value field.
tables_hold_a_bounded_number_of_class_values
what_a_table_leaves_out_is_said: ranges, wide bins, negative, fractional, too large, non-numeric, duplicate, cut and too many rows.
crates/data/src/raster/mod.rs: gdal_sidecars_name_classes_from_an_attribute_table reads a GeoTIFF with such a sidecar through read_path, and checks band.classes and class_name. It also checks that the GeoTIFF's own class names are kept over the table's, and that this is said.
cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -p rustgis-data --all-targets -D warnings and cargo check --workspace --all-targets are clean. cargo test -p rustgis-data passes, except damaged_shapefiles_are_errors_or_skips_not_panics, which fails the same way on main on this machine (its cache path isn't trusted here).
Not in this PR
Esri .vat.dbf tables, where the name column is not marked.
Raster attribute tables can provide class names when no category names are already available. Existing class names take precedence, and values without names continue to appear numerically.
Notices identify when attribute-table information is ignored or exceeds supported limits.
Documentation
Clarified how category names, attribute tables, and band descriptions are handled. Value-range tables are not used for class names, and sidecar band descriptions take precedence over GeoTIFF band descriptions.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
PAM parsing now reads raster attribute table (RAT) class names when category names are absent. It limits table parsing and reports unsupported or invalid entries. Raster application preserves existing band classes when categories came from a RAT.
Changes: Raster Attribute Table Class Names
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Parse RAT categories and report losses crates/data/src/raster/pam.rs
PAM parsing selects name and value fields, derives values from row indices or unit-width bins when needed, and limits rows and class-value slots. It reports range tables, invalid or duplicate values, and entries beyond the limits. Tests cover field selection, precedence, value placement, limits, and loss reporting.
Apply table categories to raster bands crates/data/src/raster/mod.rs, crates/data/src/raster/pam.rs, docs/user-guide/data.md
Raster::apply_pam skips table-derived categories when a band already has classes and reports the skipped table. Tests check class names and value lookup. The documentation describes RAT name fallback and precedence rules.

This adds raster class labels from attribute tables in sidecar files. Existing labels from the file or sidecar take precedence, and tables that go unused are reported. No remaining merge-blocking risk is identified.

Explanation
The title "feat(data): label a raster's classes from the attribute table in its .aux.xml (#889)" matches the main change. The PR adds support for reading class names from a raster attribute table (RAT) in a .aux.xml sidecar when the band has no category names, and the changes in crates/data/src/raster/pam.rs and mod.rs implement that. The title is specific and concise. The issue number is a minor addition but does not reduce clarity.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has a Summary that explains what changes and why, with the context of #971 and the GDAL attribute table background. It has a Testing section that lists the new tests, the cargo fmt, clippy, and check commands, and one known failing test with its reason. It has a UI evidence section that states 'No visible UI change.', which the template allows when there is no visible UI change. The Related issue section is not filled in: it contains the template placeholder text and does not name an issue. The description refers to 'Part of #889' in the first line, so the link is partly given in the body, but the Related issue section should be updated to the template format.
Resolution
Optional: replace the placeholder comment in the 'Related issue' section with 'Part of #889' so the template section is filled in. The first line already states this link.

Medium-high confidence: a hostile .aux.xml can exhaust memory. table_names grows categories densely to value + 1, so a single row at value 65535 allocates about 1.5 MB for that band. Every band record is kept until applied, so a sidecar with a few thousand such bands commits gigabytes. This breaks the "Never crash" rule (inline comment at pam.rs:513).
Security
Covered by the memory finding above. Otherwise no injection or secret-handling issues in the changed code.
Performance
Covered by the same finding. Otherwise the per-cell nth lookups are fine given the 16 MB input cap.
Quality
Medium-high confidence: table names are dropped with no notice when the band already has category names, or when the GeoTIFF tag gave names. The test category_names_win_over_a_table asserts lost.is_empty(), which locks in the silent loss (inline comment at pam.rs:377).
Nits, left for the release quality pass: the mod.rs:848 filter condition is hard to read, and the data.md paragraph has an awkward line wrap ("The band" / "descriptions").
AGENTS.md
Tests cover both lossy and clean input, and notices are one per kind with a count. The silence issue above is the only rule breach I found.
I left no earlier concerns alone, since prior-reviews.json was empty.

- Line 492: Update the row iteration in the RAT parsing flow to derive implicit
class values from each row’s validated index attribute, not its position from
enumerate(). Apply MAX_RAT_ROWS using those indices so reordered rows retain
their declared values and rows outside the limit are excluded.
- Line 501: Update the None branch’s class-value calculation so it derives the
integer contained in each unit-width bin from its lower bound and row index
before validation; for Row0Min="-0.5" and BinSize="1", row 0 must resolve to 0,
with subsequent rows mapped to their respective integers.
- Line 483: Update the table-classification condition around value_at so tables
with both Row0Min and BinSize and a BinSize other than 1 are rejected as range
tables, even when a Value column exists. Preserve the existing checks for tables
without wide bins so they continue to follow the current value_at handling.

Nit, not a crash: v is below categories.len() after the resize above, so this indexing can't panic. AGENTS.md asks for get() over indexing on file input, though, and that reads more clearly here:
Reviewed the diff against pr-context/AGENTS.md and the surrounding code in crates/data/src/raster/pam.rs, mod.rs and the docs. I could not compile or run the tests here, so the findings below come from reading the code. I traced the test expectations by hand, including the bin arithmetic (ceil(Row0Min + index)) and the slot budget, and they hold.
Bugs
Silent approximation when a table's Row0Min, BinSize, Usage or Type doesn't parse. The .ok() and .filter() calls drop the value, so rows are numbered from their index with no notice. A garbled bin start puts every name on the wrong value, which "Never silent" forbids. Inline comment posted at pam.rs:506. Confidence: medium-low.
A table with a Min/Max range pair and Row0Min with BinSize="1" is named by bin instead of counted as a range table. This is an unusual GDAL layout, so I can't confirm it occurs in practice. Confidence: low.
Security
No issues found. The MAX_RAT_SLOTS budget bounds the new allocation, and the row limit and name cut are in place.
Performance
No issues found. Parsing is linear in the sidecar's size, and the 16 MB file cap applies.
Quality
categories[v] = kept(name) at pam.rs:553 uses indexing where AGENTS.md asks for get(). It can't panic, because the vector was just resized. Suggested get_mut change posted inline. This can wait for the release quality pass.
The many test in what_a_table_leaves_out_is_said checks only with any(...). Its 262,147 rows are numbered by index, so most of them also produce "not a whole number" notices, which the test does not check. The rows-past-limit count also includes unnamed rows, which the notice doesn't mention. Nit.
AGENTS.md
No broken rules found. Non-test code has no unwrap, expect, panic, or unsafe. Notices go through lost with a count, and both the lossy and clean cases are tested. The docs paragraph matches the behaviour.
Prior reviews: I left 5 earlier concerns alone, because the code addresses each one: the unbounded allocation (budget added, author replied), the unsorted index order, the silent drop when category names exist (notice added, author replied), the wide-bin guard before the value column (fixed, author replied), and the Row0Min="-0.5" bin (ceil now handles it).

None confirmed. I traced the new table reader (table_names, name_column, the binning formula ceil(Row0Min + index), the slot budget, and the range-table rules) against the new tests and the GDAL conventions. The counts, index handling, and precedence in apply_pam all hold.
Security
None found. Input bounds are in place: 262,144 rows, a 2^20-slot budget shared per sidecar, values limited to 0..65535, names capped at 256 characters, and no indexing on file data that can panic.
Performance
None significant. Each table is read once, and the work is bounded by the 16 MB sidecar cap and the row and slot limits.
Quality
Inline comment posted at crates/data/src/raster/pam.rs:502 (confidence about 40%): a table whose names are in a text field the reader doesn't recognise is dropped without a notice, though the doc comment and PR body say it "loses nothing". Fix or narrow the doc comment.
Left for the release quality pass (minor, not posted): the budget notice says "past the sidecar's first 1048576 class values", but the budget counts slots, so a single name at value 65535 uses 65,536. The wording could be "slots" or "values up to the highest".
AGENTS.md
Silent-loss rule: the two earlier silent-skip cases are fixed, with notices and tests in both pam.rs and mod.rs. The open silent-loss concern below still stands.
Never crash: no unwrap, expect, or indexing on file-derived input in the new non-test code.
The new PamBand field breaks no callers, because every struct literal either lists it or uses ..Default.
rustfmt (max_width = 140): the lines I checked fit. I could not run cargo fmt --check, so formatting is unverified.
Not verified: I could not run cargo test, clippy, or xtask ci in this session, so the author's test results are unconfirmed here.
Earlier concerns
8 review threads already exist. 6 are resolved or answered by the author, and I checked each fix against the code (memory budget, reversed rows, unit bins, wide bins, one-bound range tables, silent skips). I did not re-raise them.
1 thread is still open and unanswered: an unparseable Row0Min or BinSize (and an unparseable Usage or Type) is dropped silently, so rows are numbered by index with no notice. The code at that spot has not changed, so I left it alone. It still breaks "Never silent".
1 thread is a nit on categories[v] indexing, which is left for the quality pass. I left it alone.
Earlier concerns left alone: 8 (6 already resolved or answered, 2 open).

A sidecar's raster attribute table was dropped without a notice when its
Row0Min or BinSize wasn't a number, when a field's type or usage wasn't
one, or when it had a text field but no name column. The first two
could number the rows wrongly or hide the name column; the last may hold
class names. Each such table is now left out and counted in the notice.
A table with none of these still names nothing and says nothing.

Low confidence (about 35%): a table's Value column overrides linear bins, which can name pixels differently from GDAL without a notice.
When a table has both Row0Min/BinSize=1 and a value column, value_at wins and each row is named by its value cell. As I recall GDAL's GetRowOfValue, a table with linear binning maps a pixel to its row by floor((v - Row0Min) / BinSize) and ignores the value column for that lookup. So if a row's value cell disagrees with its bin (for example, row index 2 holds value 5 under Row0Min="0" BinSize="1"), this reader names pixel 5 and GDAL names pixel 2. That is a silent divergence, and the "Never silent" rule covers it.
The usual case is consistent (value == ceil(Row0Min + index)), so this is probably rare. Two ways to settle it: count rows whose value cell disagrees with their bin and say so, or leave a binned table with a value column unread and count it. Either way, a test with a deliberately inconsistent row would pin the behaviour.
Low confidence (about 35%): when a table has both linear bins (Row0Min, BinSize="1") and a value column, the value column wins. GDAL, as I recall, maps pixels to rows by bin in that case, so a row whose value disagrees with its bin would be named under a different pixel than GDAL uses, with no notice. Posted inline at crates/data/src/raster/pam.rs:564.
I checked the rest of the new logic and found no further bugs: the row budget, the duplicate-band skip, the precedence in apply_pam, the ceil(Row0Min + index) mapping, and the bounds on indexing and casts.
Security
None found. The sidecar is size-capped, and the new allocations are bounded by a shared slot budget and by input size.
Performance
None significant. Parsing is linear in the sidecar, and the budget bounds memory.
Quality
Low confidence (about 25%): when a table has more than one name column or value column, the first one is used without a notice. This is a "Never silent" edge case, not a crash.
Low confidence (about 20%): columns are matched by document order rather than by FieldDefn index. GDAL writes them in order, so this is only a risk for hand-made files.
Low confidence (about 25%): a table is parsed in full, and its row-level notices fire, even when a GeoTIFF's own class names will discard it. The counts are still true, but they describe names that are never used.
Nit (left for the release quality pass): categories[v] = kept(name) indexes the vector. It is safe after the resize, and an earlier thread already covers it.
AGENTS.md
No unwrap, expect or unsafe in non-test code. Test code uses unwrap, which is allowed.
Notices are one per kind with a count, and each lossy path has a test in both directions.
The three long lines are raw-string literals, which rustfmt leaves alone, so max_width = 140 is respected.
band.classes is only written in apply_pam, so the notice's wording ("the file's own metadata") is accurate.
Already raised, left alone: 11 earlier threads. Of those, 10 are addressed by the author's fixes, and the index-nit thread on line 588 is left for the quality pass.
Not verified: I could not run cargo test or cargo fmt here (no Bash), so the PR's test claims are checked by reading only.
