Only the full read split its chunk fetches into 64 MiB batches. The
selection path, the indexed read and the parallel_read decoders fetched
every chunk's stored bytes in one read_ranges call, each extent bounded only
by the file length, so a crafted chunk index pointing many chunks at one
large extent made File::open_storage hold chunks x extent bytes (3.3 GB from
a 16.8 MB file) before the first decode error.
- storage::for_each_extent_batch is now the one way raw-data reads fetch
chunk bytes: batches of at most RAW_BATCH_BYTES (now pub), each decoded
before the next is fetched. Used by the full, cached, indexed, selection
and parallel_read paths; the sweep read uses read_extent per chunk.
- ExtentReq carries each chunk's claimed extent (bounds-checked as before,
same errors) and the prefix actually fetched:
filters::stored_chunk_limit — the chunk size if unfiltered, else each
applied filter's worst-case growth (n + n/4 + 4096 per codec; unbounded
only for an application-registered codec). The in-memory path cuts the
slice it decodes the same way, so both paths still agree.
- tests/raw_fetch_bounds.rs: a crafted chunked_large.h5 (ten chunks all
claiming 20 MiB at one padding blob) read through every path over a
storage that records the largest single fetch; and 160 MiB of legitimate
unfiltered chunks fetched batch by batch. Before: one 80 MiB fetch
(selection) and one 160 MiB fetch; after: within the budget.

Every raw-data path has a generic *_in core, with the &[u8] functions as
thin wrappers: data_read (read_raw_data*, read_raw_data_selection,
read_chunked_native), chunked_read (the v1 B-tree chunk index, list_chunks,
the full, cached, sweep and indexed reads), parallel_read, partial_read,
fill_value (read_full_with_fill, apply_to_unallocated_chunks; and
dataset_fill_value_from_storage is now generic), vds (the virtual file
through Storage, external sources still through the resolver),
vl_data (VlResolver<'a, S = [u8]>, read_vl_strings_in, read_vl_bytes_in),
AttributeMessage::read_vl_strings_in and provenance::verify_dataset_in.
With the whole file in memory nothing changes: chunks and contiguous data
are sliced from it as before. Otherwise a chunked read lists its chunks,
fetches their stored bytes with one Storage::read_ranges call per 64 MiB
batch (chunks the cache already holds are not fetched), then decodes as
today; a selection fetches only the chunks it overlaps, and a contiguous
selection only its runs. Each extent's bounds error is the one the slice
code gave, reported when that extent is reached, so errors keep their
order.
Tests: the equivalence harness now reads every dataset's values (whole,
fill-aware, cached, indexed, three selections, VDS, VL strings and
sequences) through the read_at-only storage and requires the slice
results (all 653 corpus files agree); a misbehaving storage (a failing
Nth read, short reads) only ever yields errors or the right values; and
chunked reads are checked to use one read_ranges call.

On a backend without the file in memory, a structure read whose length
comes from untrusted header fields was clamped only by the end of the
file, so a crafted size made one read (and copy) of up to the rest of
the file. Each such read now covers what the parser actually uses:
- local heap names: read in growing pieces (64 bytes first, then 4x)
up to the end of the data segment, instead of the rest of the segment
per name (quadratic for a big symbol-table group);
- fractal heap indirect blocks: the doubling-table geometry locates the
entry covering the object, and the first read ends at that entry; only
if it is unallocated does the walk read the rest of the block (it
visits every entry then). One walk implementation serves both;
- paged fixed/extensible array data blocks over 1 MiB: the prefix and
page bitmap, then each page in use on its own (smaller blocks are
still one read);
- blocks under one checksum (non-paged array data blocks, extensible
array index and super blocks): the bounds check that comes first (the
checksum's; the page bitmap's for a super block) is made against the
file length before reading (Window::check_extent), so a block claimed
past the end of the file costs no read. With the checksum feature off
the parser has no such first check and the old read stands.
Other windows were already bounded (the superblock and object header
prefixes, the fractal heap header by a u16, SOHM tables by u8/u16
counts) or are exact reads checked against the file length first.
In memory nothing changes: the pieces are borrowed slices.
Tests: CountingStorage over a crafted heap (16 MiB file, width and rows
0xFFFF: under 1 KiB read, 16.7 MB before), a heap segment claiming 64 MiB
(one 64-byte read per short name), long names at every piece boundary,
a fixed array block claimed past the end of a 16 MiB file (under 64
bytes read), and in the equivalence harness an h5py file with a 2.4 MB
fixed array block and a >1 MiB extensible array block, whole and cut at
97 points: every chunk index agrees with the slice read and the largest
takes 205 KB (2.4 MB and 1.2 MB when read whole).

Every `*_in` core and the read helpers take `file: &S` with
`S: Storage + ?Sized` instead of `&dyn Storage`, and the `&[u8]`
wrappers pass the slice itself, so they compile to a `[u8]` instance:
`as_contiguous()` inlines to `Some(self)` and each structure read is the
slice code's bounds check again, with no indirect call. `&dyn Storage`
still works (`S = dyn Storage`); there is one parser implementation.
Also, so the structure reads cost no more than the slice checks did:
- ObjectHeader::parse_in reads the prefix once (signature included)
instead of the signature and then the prefix: two reads for a
one-chunk header instead of three on a range backend;
- the symbol-table node and group B-tree (v1) loops walk their entries
with chunks_exact over the bytes read, and the node's redundant second
bounds check is gone (the entries' read is the check, same error);
- a version-1 header's message list is sized from its (capped) count.
Same results and errors; the unit and equivalence tests are unchanged.
New Criterion bench `clawhdf5/benches/local_metadata_bench.rs` over a
400-group version-1 file written by h5py (new fixture
`v1_groups_400.h5`): ObjectHeader::parse, symbol-table nodes, the group
B-tree walk and a facade listing, using only APIs that exist at f2ff2c4
so it builds there for an A/B.
Provisional A/B against f2ff2c4 (busy machine, not for docs): both
builds linked into one binary and timed in alternation, 200 rounds;
median ratio new/old: facade listing -0.5% to -3.5% (was +14%),
ObjectHeader::parse +1% to +2% (was +25%), symbol-table nodes -18%,
group B-tree walk -18%, local-heap names and resolve_group_children
within +-1.5%. An old-vs-old-copy run shows +-2% from code layout alone.

read_exact_at and read_upto (and so Window::read) ask as_contiguous()
first and slice the file directly when the backend holds it in memory:
one dynamic call per structure read instead of two or three (len,
read_at, then len again for errors). Same results and errors.
Provisional (busy machine, not for docs): a listing that walks 400
symbol-table groups through the facade went from about 18% to about 14%
slower than before the Storage conversion; the extra cost is a few tens
of nanoseconds per structure read, which the facade's per-lookup
re-listing (range-reads.md M0) multiplies.

ExtensibleArrayHeader::parse_in reads the header in one read, and
read_extensible_array_chunks_in reads each index block, super block and
data block as a prefix read and then one window of the whole structure
(paged data blocks included); checksums and elements are checked in the
window with bounds errors reported as the whole-file checks did. The
&[u8] functions are wrappers. New test: an array with inline elements
and a data block, cut at every length and damaged in each structure,
reads identically through a read_at-only CountingStorage.

FractalHeapHeader::parse_in reads the header as one window (a second,
longer one when it holds an I/O filter pipeline); read_managed_object_in
reads direct blocks, indirect blocks (one window up to the last child
entry) and huge objects with bounded reads. The &[u8] methods are
wrappers. A huge object indexed by the huge-object v2 B-tree, which is
not converted yet, is a clean ContiguousStorageRequired error on a
backend without the whole file in memory (after the "no index" check,
so the error order is unchanged).
storage::Window (crate-internal) reads a window of a structure and
reports bounds failures exactly as the whole-file ensure_len did, and a
short read inside the file is now a Storage error rather than an EOF.
New tests: headers (with and without a filter pipeline) cut at every
length, and managed objects in a direct root and through an indirect
root, huge objects with direct IDs and tiny objects, give identical
results through a read_at-only CountingStorage.

Range-read milestone M1, first step (docs/design/range-reads.md §3(a)):
a synchronous, no_std read interface with u64 offsets, read_at returning
Cow<[u8]>, read_ranges, len and an as_contiguous fast path. Implemented
for [u8], Vec<u8>, &T, Box<T> and Arc<T>; slices serve borrowed bytes.
read_exact_at reproduces the parsers' UnexpectedEof bounds error exactly,
so converted modules keep their error values.
FormatError gains Storage(String) and ContiguousStorageRequired; it and
the facade Error are now #[non_exhaustive] (breaking for exhaustive
matches, noted in the changelog; the Python bindings' match gets a
wildcard arm).
