Parallel subagent triage + ralph-loop workflow for auditing all xrspatial modules for performance bottlenecks, OOM risk under 30TB dask workloads, and backend-specific anti-patterns.
7 tasks covering command scaffold, module scoring, parallel subagent dispatch, report merging, ralph-loop generation, and smoke tests.
…1114) - _extract_sources now uses da.unique() for dask arrays instead of materializing the full raster to find source IDs - Add memory guard before computing N cost surfaces: estimates N * array_bytes + overhead and raises MemoryError if it would exceed 80% of available RAM

Summary
_extract_sourcesnow usesda.unique()for dask arrays instead of materializing the full raster to find source IDsN * array_bytes + overheadand raisesMemoryErrorif it would exceed 80% of available RAMContext
Found during performance sweep triage (#1114). The algorithm is inherently O(N * array_size) in memory since it holds N cost-distance surfaces simultaneously. This can't be fundamentally fixed without a different algorithm, but the guard catches it early with a clear message instead of letting the system OOM mid-computation.
