Updated base images for pangeo and isce3 and updated isce3

[grallewellyn]

isce3 and base images most up to date and tested
Made sure VS code extension still works

[wildintellect]

A couple of questions:

1. why are so many packages hard coded in the ISCE3 when the Pangeo Image already contains them?
2. should we align closer with the latest VEDA Pangeo customization https://github.com/NASA-IMPACT/pangeo-notebook-veda-image/blob/main/environment.yml ?

• Virtualizarr, icechunk, and duckdb are now in Pangeo
• earthaccess should be updated (major bugfixes)
• openssh is missing?
• I also wonder if jupyter-sshd-proxy is needed for ssh to work
• jupyter-bxplorer is experimental but it's an S3 browser tool (maybe skip while we test more)
• morecantile is in Pangeo (0.7.1), we can drop that since the pin right now is old at 6.1.0? looks like rio-tiler can stay but maybe do >=7.2.2 to not lock old versions (we'll look to see if it's needed in VEDA too)

Just some package specific comments. Broadly I agree with Alex that it would be great to use the same modified Pangeo image.

[jsignell]

This seems like a substantial downgrade.

[jsignell]

Is this an intentional downgrade?

[jsignell]

Changing the gdal version in an env update makes me a little nervous.

[grallewellyn]

1. I could not get a recent pangeo notebook base image to install isce3 without dependency conflicts. I am running a script now to find the most recent pangeo notebook base image that isce3 could install successfully into
2. Thanks, these are all helpful suggestions for pangeo that I made
   @jsignell If I can't get a pangeo notebook base image to resolve with isce3 I will make these changes, right now s3fs and pandas aren't updating with the current pins

[grallewellyn]

I ran a script to pull the pangeo/pangeo-notebook images released in 2024-2026 then attempt to install the most recent isce3 version, every base image failed so we will need to continue with pangeo/base-notebook

Note for future reference on this PR, I tried up to pangeo notebook image tag 2026.01.30

So I will continue with implementing the suggestions for isce3 image as is

[jsignell]

I'll add rio-tiler to the next release of the veda image.

[jsignell]

These will still be in the env since they come with the VEDA image. Would it make more sense to override them with the MAAP equivalents?

[grallewellyn]

Yes, once we have the MAAP equivalents we will override in our 2i2c infrastructure config

[wildintellect]

We actually do have MAAP equivalents, but we don't use them in any tutorials, and originally they were for stac_ipyleaflet support.

That list is right but I think we can drop TITILER_STAC_ENDPOINT
