Companion to the use-as-a-package guide: runs the credential-free examples (NASA POWER, GHCN stations) end-to-end in the browser with zero install. Earth Engine section gated behind an opt-in flag. Badge links added to the guide and README.
Surface the companion notebook where new users land, not just in the package guide.
Adds credential-free station-vs-grid validation (precipitation only: the Nairobi GHCN station fails the completeness guard on temperature) and expands the Earth Engine section: AgERA5 fetch, maize seasonal statistics, hazards, focal-vs-baseline comparison, source comparison, and NEX-GDDP 2050 projections. Colab Secrets tip for the project id.

Nice — the Colab on-ramp is a great addition, and it goes well beyond "funder logos" (the title undersells it). I checked it against the code:
- Logo images (
docs/assets/logos/mcknight.jpg,cgiar-climate-action.png) already exist in the repo, so the README renders fine. ✅ - API usage is accurate:
validation["confidence_summary"]andstats["ltm_season_summary"]are real return keys; the station cells work now that the GHCNverbosefix (#124) is merged; and the notebook wisely restrictscompare_station_to_gridsto precipitation (the nearest Nairobi station is too sparse on temperature for the completeness guard). ✅ - The Earth Engine section is correctly gated behind
RUN_EARTH_ENGINE, so a fresh Colab run stays credential-free through sections 1–4. ✅
One thing worth a maintainer decision (not blocking): the new examples/climate_toolkit_colab.ipynb overlaps examples/package_demo.ipynb (added in #124) — we’d have two credential-free example notebooks. Yours is the more comprehensive, Colab-hosted, all-seven-functions walkthrough; package_demo.ipynb is a local demo. Might be worth making the Colab one canonical and dropping/repointing package_demo.ipynb, to avoid two demos drifting apart.
Minor: I didn’t execute the notebook end-to-end (the EE cells are gated off), but the credential-free calls match usage I’ve verified works on main.
