Greptile Summary

This PR prepares the 0.13.0 release ("More RC updates") by bumping internal version strings, pinning all example scripts to the upcoming @0.13.0 tag, updating installation documentation, adding serve and da-healda to the all extra, renaming test files for consistency, and updating the lock file.

Key observations:

• Version inconsistency: earth2studio/__init__.py is set to 0.13.0rc0 while every other artifact updated in this PR (CHANGELOG, examples, docs, bug template, recipe template) already references the final 0.13.0. This means the @0.13.0 git tag the examples point to does not exist during the RC phase, and the __version__ attribute would not match what users are told to report.
• Duplicate lock-file entries: Adding serve into the all extra caused httpx (pinned at ==0.28.1 from data and >=0.25.0 from serve) and hydra-core (>=1.3.0 from serve, >=1.3.2 from dlesym) to appear twice under extra == 'all' in uv.lock. This is cosmetically noisy and may confuse resolvers.
• Removed ARCO test case: datetime.datetime(year=2024, month=1, day=1) was removed from test_arco_cache parametrization. No explanation is given; a brief comment would help reviewers understand whether this was a flaky test, a data-availability issue, or intentional scope reduction.

Confidence Score: 3/5

• Largely safe release-prep housekeeping, but the version string mismatch between __init__.py (0.13.0rc0) and all other references (0.13.0) should be resolved before merging to avoid broken example installs and user confusion.
• Most changes are straightforward version-string updates and test renames. The main concern is the __init__.py version being rc0 while all documentation and examples already target the final 0.13.0 tag — a gap that would make examples uninstallable during the RC window. The duplicate dependency entries in uv.lock are cosmetic but worth cleaning up.
• earth2studio/__init__.py (version mismatch), uv.lock (duplicate specifier entries for httpx and hydra-core under all)

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
earth2studio/init.py	Version bumped from 0.13.0a0 to 0.13.0rc0, but all other references (CHANGELOG, examples, docs, bug report template) already use 0.13.0 (the final release version), creating an inconsistency.
CHANGELOG.md	Version header updated from [0.13.0a0] to [0.13.0] with a release date of 2026-03-20. Empty Deprecated and Security sections removed.
pyproject.toml	Adds serve and da-healda extras to the all aggregate extra, and bumps the minimum hatch version to >=1.16.5.
uv.lock	Lock file updated to include serve/da-healda dependencies under the all extra. Contains duplicate specifier entries for httpx and hydra-core under extra == 'all'.
tox-smoke.ini	Adds flash-attention build environment variables and replaces extras = all tox shorthand with explicit uv sync + uv sync --extra all commands before wheel install.
test/data/test_arco.py	Removes datetime.datetime(year=2024, month=1, day=1) from the parametrize list for test_arco_cache, reducing test coverage for a recent date.
docs/userguide/about/install.md	All installation instructions updated from @0.12.1 to @0.13.0, and pip steps for da-healda now pre-install hatchling and earth2grid.
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml	Version placeholder updated from 0.12.1 to 0.13.0.

   Duplicate conflicting httpx specifiers for all extra

   Two requires-dist entries now exist for httpx under extra == 'all' with incompatible constraints:

   { name = "httpx", marker = "extra == 'all'", specifier = "==0.28.1" },
   { name = "httpx", marker = "extra == 'all'", specifier = ">=0.25.0" },
   

   This happens because adding serve to the all extra (in pyproject.toml) causes both the data constraint (==0.28.1) and the serve constraint (>=0.25.0) to be flattened under all. The strict pin ==0.28.1 from data is the effective resolver outcome, but having both in the metadata is redundant and may confuse tooling. Similarly, hydra-core ends up with both >=1.3.0 (from serve) and >=1.3.2 (from dlesym) under all:

   { name = "hydra-core", marker = "extra == 'all'", specifier = ">=1.3.0" },
   { name = "hydra-core", marker = "extra == 'all'", specifier = ">=1.3.2" },
   

   These duplicates are generated from pyproject.toml; consider deduplicating the httpx constraint in pyproject.toml for the all extra to keep a single authoritative specifier.

   Version mismatch between package and all references

   The package version is set to 0.13.0rc0, but every other reference updated in this same PR — CHANGELOG, all 25+ example scripts, install docs, bug report template, and the recipe template — already uses 0.13.0 (the final release string). This creates two concrete problems:

   1. Non-existent git tag during RC: All example scripts are now pinned to @0.13.0. While the package is still tagged as rc0, the 0.13.0 git tag does not exist, so anyone running these examples during the RC will get a resolution failure.
   2. Bug report confusion: The bug report template instructs users to report version 0.13.0, but import earth2studio; print(earth2studio.__version__) will return 0.13.0rc0.

   If this branch is meant to be the final release, the version here should be changed to 0.13.0. If it is genuinely still an RC, the examples, CHANGELOG, and docs should reference the RC tag (e.g. @0.13.0rc0) or remain pinned to main until the final tag is cut.
