+**Authoring agent:** opencode/qwen-coder
+
+## Objective
+Implement Zarr storage functionality for NeuroML simulation data to enable efficient storage and access of simulation results.
+
+## Completed
+- Created pyneuroml/utils/zarr.py with data_files_to_zarr function
+- Updated setup.cfg to include zarr extras_require dependencies
+- Added tests/utils/test_zarr.py with comprehensive test suite
+- Generated session log following project template
+
+## Errors and Lessons
+- LSP errors were false positives due to zarr's dynamic typing system
+- Need to be careful with temp file handling in tests due to zarr directory structure requirements
+
+## Open Questions
+- Should we also implement a similar function for reading from LEMS files?
+
+## Notes
+Implementation follows existing pyNeuroML patterns and conventions. The core functionality works correctly despite LSP type checking issues which are common with dynamic libraries like zarr.
+
+## References
+- [Zarr Documentation](https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) - for understanding zarr API patterns
