📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The update expands the range of supported layer types in the layerFromIdentifier method within the upload service, enabling it to handle additional data and segmentation layer classes. Import statements are consolidated and broadened to include all relevant layer types from the dataformats.layers package. No public API signatures are changed.

Changes

File Path	Change Summary
webknossos-datastore/app/com/scalableminds/webknossos/datastore/services/uploading/UploadService.scala	Expanded imports to include all layer types; updated pattern matching in layerFromIdentifier to support more layer classes including N5, Precomputed, Zarr, and WKW layers.

Poem

A warren of layers, now more complete,
With Zarr and N5, the code skips a beat.
Segmentation and data, all join the dance,
In the upload service, they now get a chance.
🐇 Hopping through code, with imports anew—
More layers to link, more work to do!

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
