CodecPipeline Stability

[ilan-gold]

Hello! It seems that 3.0.3 contained a breaking change to the CodecPipeline API but on a patch version: #2784. I would have thought the CodecPipeline would obey semver since it is a public API for people implementing pipelines.

Clarifying this situation would help us in https://github.com/ilan-gold/zarrs-python give a guarantee of stability and/or take steps to ensure we are running tests upon the release of every zarr (if there is no guarantee).

Sorry for the friction @ilan-gold! You're absolutely right that the API changed in #2784. 🤦

I think we are still adjusting to the fact that CodecPipeline actually has implementations outside of Zarr Python! This is a good thing!

So @rabernat this sort of thing (including, say, the NDBuffer API) is considered the "public" API?
