+    ----------
+    file_io_concurrency : int or None
+        Concurrency limit for TensorStore's ``file_io_concurrency``
+        resource. Raise above the default (32) on high-latency networked
+        filesystems (e.g. NFS) where the default under-saturates the link.
+    cache_pool_bytes : int or None
+        Aggregate byte budget for TensorStore's chunk cache pool. ``None``
+        disables caching.
+    recheck_cached_data : bool, "open" or None
+        Controls whether cached chunk data is re-validated on each read.
+        ``None`` (default) uses the TensorStore driver default, which
+        revalidates cached metadata on every access — one stat/GETATTR per
+        chunk. ``"open"`` checks freshness only when the array is opened
+        and trusts the cache thereafter — recommended for long-running
+        read-heavy workloads on NFS/VAST where the underlying zarr files
+        do not change. ``False`` disables freshness checks entirely.
