Description

Bias input staging in ush/python/pygfs/jedi/jedi.py was still routing through bias_files_dict even though every supported observation resolved to the same archive, varbc_params.tar. This change makes the shared-archive behavior explicit in stage_obsbiasin() and leaves save_obsbiasout() unchanged.

• Bias input staging

  • Stage a single shared archive, varbc_params.tar, when observations is non-empty.
  • Stop using per-observation bias_files_dict lookups in this module.
  • Preserve current skip behavior when the archive is missing by warning and continuing.

• Behavior preserved

  • Duplicate observations no longer affect staging; the shared archive is copied and extracted once.
  • Bias output archival still tars whatever bias files already exist.

• Regression coverage

  • Add focused unit coverage for:
    • staging the shared archive once with duplicate observations
    • warning and skipping cleanly when the shared archive is absent

bias_tarball = self.jcb_config[f'{self.component}_obsbiasin_prefix'] + 'varbc_params.tar'
if self.jcb_config['observations']:
    bias_src = os.path.join(comin, bias_tarball)
