let's see if

• Revert "Demand prior releases of h5py for OSX on non-arm" #1780

fixes CI, and then that there is no side-effect here and hopefully merge/release tomorrow

there is a concoction of fails which emerged recently (after 18th), trying to figure it out (well - claude does ;) ), here is related here

Potential New Issue: Zarr 3.1.x Compatibility

I discovered that zarr 3.1.0+ has breaking changes that could be causing the failures you're seeing:

Key Breaking Changes in Zarr 3.1.0:

1. NumPy minimum version increased to 1.26 (https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/v3.1.0/release-notes.html)
2. Data type system refactor
3. Regressions with inf/-inf/nan values in attributes (fixed in 3.1.1)
4. Group creation errors in 3.1.2
5. Removed ability to pass kwargs positionally to many functions

so might want to blacklist 3.1.1 as part of this PR, but let's wait if I figure more of other issues etc

[yarikoptic]

actually -- here we have only macos and only intel failing on unrelated tests -- let's just proceed with this
