Fix tutorial notebooks for MONAI 1.6.1 / Python 3.13 (partial)

Description

This PR makes the first batch of tutorial notebooks run successfully under
MONAI 1.6.1 with a Python 3.13 virtual environment (torch 2.10, CUDA, A10G).
Every change is the minimal edit needed to execute the notebook — no functional
rewrites. Full per-notebook results, the fixes applied, and the remaining work are
tracked in the new NOTEBOOK_TEST_LOG.md.

Notebooks are executed with papermill using the project's own contract
(runner.sh -t <notebook>: max_epochs and similar loop variables reduced to 1),
each with a wall-clock timeout.

Changes

Notebook / config fixes

  • patch_inferer/modular_patch_inferer: pin zarr<3 — MONAI 1.6.1's ZarrAvgMerger
    uses the zarr v2 API (chunks=True, cdata_shape), which zarr 3.x rejects.
  • acceleration/fast_training_tutorial: add nvtx install line.
  • acceleration/automatic_mixed_precision: lower CacheDataset num_workers to avoid
    an OOM-kill while caching the spleen dataset on a memory-limited host.
  • bundle/01..04: add a fire install line — the monai.bundle CLI
    (init_bundle, run) requires it.
  • bundle/pythonic_usage_guidance/pythonic_bundle_access: override
    train/validate#dataset#cache_rate=0.0 to avoid OOM while caching the full dataset.
  • experiment_management/bundle_integrate_mlflow (+ mlflow_example.json) and
    3d_segmentation/unet_segmentation_3d_ignite: use sqlite:/// tracking URIs —
    MONAI 1.6.1's MLFlowHandler rejects the filesystem (file-store) backend.
  • 3d_segmentation/spleen_segmentation_3d_lightning: lower cache_rate/num_workers
    and set enable_progress_bar=False (Lightning's rich progress bar hits a
    RecursionError under the papermill/ZMQ display backend).

Documentation

  • NOTEBOOK_TEST_LOG.md: per-notebook results, every fix applied, dependencies added
    to the environment, and the remaining folders still to be run.

Environment-blocked failures (recommend adding to skip_run_papermill)

  • experiment_management/spleen_segmentation_aim — aim has no Python 3.13 support
    (its aimrocks build dependency has no 3.13 wheel/sdist).
  • deployment/bentoml/mednist_classifier_bentoml — pins bentoml==0.13.1 (2021),
    incompatible with Python 3.13 and the bentoml 1.x API; installing it also corrupts
    the shared environment.

Remaining work (not in this PR)

Not yet executed: modules (51), generation (31), auto3dseg (9), pathology (6),
monailabel (10, mostly skips), and a few single-notebook folders. Tracked in
NOTEBOOK_TEST_LOG.md. Folders with no notebooks (script-only tutorials) are out of
scope: detection, nnunet, automl, performance_profiling.

Notes

  • Tested on a single A10G (23 GB) host with 15 GiB RAM (no swap); several OOM fixes
    above are driven by that RAM ceiling.
  • Dataset downloads and generated artifacts were cleaned up and are not included.
  • The two environment-blocked notebooks above do not pass runner.sh -t on Python 3.13;
    the checklist below applies to the notebooks this PR modifies.

Checks

  • Avoid including large-size files in the PR.
  • Clean up long text outputs from code cells in the notebook.
  • For security purposes, please check the contents and remove any sensitive info such as user names and private key.
  • Ensure (1) hyperlinks and markdown anchors are working (2) use relative paths for tutorial repo files (3) put figure and graphs in the ./figure folder
  • Notebook runs automatically ./runner.sh -t <path to .ipynb file>

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Notebook Improvements

    • Updated dataset caching and worker settings across training examples.
    • Improved notebook setup checks so required packages are installed when missing.
    • Updated MLflow examples to use SQLite-backed tracking.
    • Adjusted cache settings in bundle workflow examples.
  • Documentation

    • Added a notebook testing log with execution results, environment notes, and testing guidance.

Make the first batch of tutorial notebooks run under MONAI 1.6.1 with the
project venv (Python 3.13, torch 2.10, CUDA). Each change is the minimal edit
needed to execute the notebook; full per-notebook details and the remaining
work are tracked in NOTEBOOK_TEST_LOG.md.

Notebook/config fixes:
- patch_inferer/modular_patch_inferer: pin zarr<3 (MONAI 1.6.1 ZarrAvgMerger
  uses the zarr v2 API; zarr 3.x rejects chunks=True).
- acceleration/automatic_mixed_precision: lower CacheDataset num_workers to
  avoid an OOM-kill on memory-limited hosts.
- acceleration/fast_training_tutorial: add nvtx install line.
- bundle/01..04: add fire install line (required by the monai.bundle CLI).
- bundle/pythonic_bundle_access: override train/validate cache_rate=0 to avoid
  OOM while caching the full spleen dataset.
- experiment_management/bundle_integrate_mlflow + mlflow_example.json and
  3d_segmentation/unet_segmentation_3d_ignite: use sqlite:/// tracking URIs
  (MONAI 1.6.1 MLFlowHandler rejects the file-store backend).
- 3d_segmentation/spleen_segmentation_3d_lightning: lower cache_rate/num_workers
  and disable the rich progress bar (RecursionError under papermill).

Tooling:
- .nbtest/: a papermill-based single-notebook test harness (reduces max_epochs,
  enforces the venv on PATH for shell cells, process-group timeout) and the
  running NOTEBOOK_TEST_LOG.md.

Assisted-by: Kiro <[email protected]>
Signed-off-by: Vikash Gupta <[email protected]>
Remove the .nbtest/ scaffolding (run_nb.py, run_folder.sh, .gitignore) from the
branch. The repo already provides runner.sh for notebook testing; the harness was
local scaffolding and does not belong in a notebook-fix PR. The notebook/config
fixes are unchanged and verified via runner.sh -t. NOTEBOOK_TEST_LOG.md references
to the harness are made tool-agnostic.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5c8c7

Some changed notebook setups can target a different Python than their kernel, causing tutorial runs to fail in the documented PATH-mismatch environment. The test log also obscures which execution method produced its results. These bounded execution and reproducibility issues should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging.

- A local papermill-based harness runs a reduced copy of each notebook (the original
notebook on disk is not modified) with the venv forced onto `PATH` and a process-group
timeout. This is equivalent to the project's `runner.sh -t <notebook>`.

Do not describe the harness and runner.sh as equivalent.

Both methods reduce the same loop variables, but they use different execution environments. The harness prepends the venv interpreter to PATH and uses a process-group timeout. runner.sh inherits the caller's PATH. The log records failures caused by base-conda resolution, so the difference can change notebook results. State which method produced the reported results.

Bind all notebook installs to the kernel interpreter.

These six setup cells resolve python and pip through PATH. When base-conda precedes the venv, the commands can check or install packages in base-conda while the notebook kernel uses the venv. The kernel can therefore retain an incompatible Zarr version. The reachable ZarrAvgMerger calls can then fail because MONAI 1.6.1 requires the Zarr v2 API. The same mismatch already caused recorded bundle execution failures with different MONAI versions.

Use sys.executable for every check and -m pip install in all six cells:

Suggested fix
+import sys
+
-!python -c "import monai" || pip install -q "monai-weekly[pillow,tqdm,cucim,zarr]"
+!{sys.executable} -c "import monai" || {sys.executable} -m pip install -q "monai-weekly[pillow,tqdm,cucim,zarr]"
-!python -c "import zarr, packaging.version as v; assert v.parse(zarr.__version__) < v.parse('3')" || pip install -q "zarr<3"
+!{sys.executable} -c "import zarr, packaging.version as v; assert v.parse(zarr.__version__) < v.parse('3')" || {sys.executable} -m pip install -q "zarr<3"
-!python -c "import matplotlib" || pip install -q matplotlib
+!{sys.executable} -c "import matplotlib" || {sys.executable} -m pip install -q matplotlib

Apply the same sys.executable replacement to the Fire and nvtx setup cells in acceleration/fast_training_tutorial.ipynb and the four bundle notebooks.
