Adds two new FAQ entries to
docs/faq.md:ds.to_netcdf()fails with int64 cast error — Explains that Xee time coordinates useint64, which thescipynetCDF writer cannot handle (netCDF3 is limited toint32). Documents that Xarray selects backends in ordernetcdf4 → h5netcdf → scipy, so the error only occurs when neithernetcdf4norh5netcdfis installed. Provides three fixes: installnetCDF4, installh5netcdf, or passengine=explicitly to.to_netcdf(). Also mentions.to_zarr()as an alternative. Relates to issue Writing NetCDF file fails with ValueError #194.Shapely geometry conversion — Updates the existing shapely entry to include the concrete conversion snippet
shapely.geometry.shape(ee_geom.getInfo())for users passing anee.Geometrytofit_geometry.
