added gribberish codec support

[lazarusA]

This PR adds support to Read GRIB files via icechunk by using the @mattnucc/gribberish package and registering a new code for zarrita.js. Codec conventions were translated from https://github.com/mpiannucci/gribberish/blob/main/python/gribberish/zarr/codec.py

This will allow users to get access to:

• According to this we will be looking at > 14 PB and 1 billion GRIB messages [as one virtual Icechunk store]

Caution

For local dev is not enough to simple do npm install because the codec comes as a wasm asset.
Note that in production we are using pnpm as the package manager. The new wasm asset gets resolved with the pnpm-workspace.yaml file. So, before you do npm run dev, is necessary to do

pnpm install

and that's it. Now you have the needed wasm in node_modules. Now do

npm run dev

as usual. These instructions should go into a new file, CONTRIBUTING.md. Will do in another PR.

Code Review

This pull request integrates the @mattnucc/gribberish package to decode GRIB2 messages, introducing a custom Zarrita codec (GribberishCodec), configuring WASM loader patching, and updating the dimension mapping logic in useDataFetcher.tsx. Feedback highlights critical improvements: explicitly freeing WebAssembly-backed Rust objects to prevent memory leaks, guarding BigInt conversions against non-finite values to avoid runtime crashes, and adding defensive checks on targetDim to prevent TypeError exceptions on small or empty dimensions.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
