Fix showcases

[dnerini]

This PR fixes a few recent issues related to the showcase command.

• Unify regions stations #154 changed plot_forecast_frame to output frames for all regions in a single job (to reduce data I/O). However, make_forecast_animation was not updated accordingly: its input lambda expanded rules.plot_forecast_frame.output, which already has {region} resolved for all regions, causing the region=wc.region argument to be silently ignored. As a result, every animation job collected frames from all regions and passed them all to convert, producing incorrect GIFs.

  • fix: 9fdefc8

• Migrate to earthkit v1.0 release candidate #162 with eartkit-plots 1.0 something broke in drawing the colormap for precip. For the fix I relied heavily on Claude and will need to be double checked. In essence, for TOT_PREC, it seems that because the hex color list was passed as a raw kwarg, it was setting no_style=True, after which configure_style had already popped colors → matplotlib used viridis. Fixed by embedding colors in the Style object rather than passing them as kwargs; get_style now detects a pre-built Colormap and uses earthkit's vmin/vmax path (which handles Colormap objects), injecting levels directly into style._kwargs to bypass interception.

  • also, extend moved into each preset in colormap_defaults.py (precipitation uses "max" since values are clipped to ≥ 0)
  • fix: da014ab

• consolidate region domains: 671248e

• SLURM jobs timing out because plot_forecast_frame tasks were being grouped into batches of 8 per SLURM job, but --cores 4 limited the inner snakemake to run them sequentially. With 8 tasks running sequentially at ~9 minutes each, they'd exceed the 20-minute SLURM time limit. By removing the batching, each task now runs independently in its own job, allowing them to execute in parallel.

Thanks Daniele for spotting this. This looks good from a visual inspection. I can run the showcase to confirm, but would rather not as it is still very slow (we probably need to fix that).
