Second of the codec submodule upgrades (after openjph #76).

Bumps packages/charls/extern/charls from 38d95d0 (~2.4.1-era, Jan 2023) to upstream CharLS 2.4.4 (2026-06-08). Fork PR: cornerstonejs/charls#1.

  • No custom patches — the fork had zero divergence from upstream, so this is a clean version advance (unlike openjph, which needed carry/drop).
  • charls does not have the Debug-build issue openjph had (its build.sh builds optimized; shipped wasm is a healthy ~242 KiB).

CI validates: does 2.4.4 compile against our charls glue (API drift over ~3.5y), do the pixel-correctness goldens still pass byte-identically, and dist-size. Not built locally; iterating on CI. Not for merge yet.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Maintenance

    • Updated the bundled CHARLS component to a newer revision.
    • Improved benchmark workflow sequencing and reliability, including separate walltime benchmarking.
    • Updated benchmark execution handling to reduce misleading results from cancelled or competing runs.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded benchmarking guidance with workflow locations, job dependencies, execution order, and troubleshooting information.

Advances from 38d95d0 (~2.4.1-era, Jan 2023) to upstream 2.4.4 (2026-06-08).
No custom fork patches (clean version advance). Fork PR: cornerstonejs/charls#1.
CI is the first build/validation of 2.4.4 against our glue.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request moves ordered CodSpeed benchmarking into bench.yml, changes workflow concurrency handling, updates benchmarking documentation, and advances the CharLS submodule pointer.

Changes

Benchmark workflow ordering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow concurrency and ownership
.github/workflows/pr-checks.yml
pr-checks.yml now uses commit-based concurrency for non-PR runs, limits cancellation to pull requests, and documents that bench.yml owns CodSpeed execution and scope calculation.
Ordered walltime benchmark
.github/workflows/bench.yml, .github/workflows/pr-checks.yml
codspeed-walltime now runs in bench.yml after codspeed-bench. It uses the gate artifacts, ARM64-qualified caching, scope validation, and walltime CodSpeed execution.
Benchmark workflow documentation
BENCHMARKING.md
The documentation describes workflow ownership, sequential execution, runner contention, first-upload behavior, and stale-baseline symptoms.

CharLS submodule update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update CharLS reference
packages/charls/extern/charls
The submodule reference changes to commit 9930a2a2fa75f516c4a08708180c9907fa501a97.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 00283

The CharLS update and benchmark reordering appear functionally sound, but the walltime workflow should stop persisting its write-capable checkout credential and its stale workflow references should be corrected.

Status: green except one CodSpeed gate = known CPU-lottery noise

charls 2.4.4 (from ~2.4.1-era). All real checks pass: build, test, browser-smoke, dist-size, codspeed-bench, codspeed-walltime. No build fixes and no glue changes were needed — the fork had zero divergence, so this is a clean version advance.

The one red — CodSpeed Performance Analysis — is not a real regression. CodSpeed's own "Environment Differences" section attributes it to a runner CPU change (AMD EPYC 7763 → 9V74) on one near-lossless .81 — cold Simulation bench; the warm variant is unchanged, WallTime is unaffected, and 19/20 benches are unchanged. Decode output is byte-identical (goldens pass).

Fork PR: cornerstonejs/charls#1 — MERGEABLE. No custom patches (clean advance).

Actions to merge

  1. Merge fork charls#1.
  2. Acknowledge the single noise bench on the CodSpeed dashboard (or rely on the self-hosted-runner change in ci(codspeed): move the simulation bench gate to a dedicated self-hosted runner #75 to remove this class of noise).
  3. Merge this PR. No code changes required.

Merged in main. Tested in most recent cornerstone3D main (2189b0169e31f8120bdbb99e6d3af323540483fd) and OHIF master (8889c7514574aa837b8f5bc40eee29e8206b0c12) using viewer-testdata https://github.com/OHIF/viewer-testdata/blob/master/dcm/colorEncode/jpeg-ls-lossless.dcm and https://github.com/OHIF/viewer-testdata/blob/master/dcm/grayEncode/jpeg-ls-lossless.dcm.

…a per-commit push group

The CodSpeed app computes its single "CodSpeed Performance Analysis" check
from the FIRST upload a commit produces, and never re-evaluates it. While
codspeed-walltime ran beside codspeed-bench in pr-checks.yml it finished
2-7 minutes earlier on every commit measured, so the advisory instrument
decided the check and the simulation gate never spoke:

  commit    walltime    check       codspeed-bench   verdict
  ab49563   18:36:45    18:37:16    18:39:29         failure -32.65%
  bac71dd   17:57:33    17:57:46    18:00:03         failure -19.77%
  4ce83c9   17:52:55    17:53:20    17:56:29         failure
  073884c   19:44:51    19:45:17    19:47:24         failure
  5bfa7ff   21:27:58    21:28:22    21:34:56         success

continue-on-error: true does not prevent this. It sets that JOB's
conclusion, while the app posts an independent check run that no job
setting can mark advisory. Ordering is the only lever available in the
repo, so codspeed-walltime moves to bench.yml with needs: codspeed-bench.
Ordering via needs: rather than a poll inside the job also keeps the
metered macro runner unallocated while it waits.

pr-checks.yml kept a branch-level push concurrency group after #93 gave
bench.yml a per-commit one. On a push head_ref is empty, so every main
push shared one group with cancel-in-progress: true, and the release
workflow's version commit cancelled the merge commit's run before being
skipped itself by the detect-changes guard -- GitHub applies concurrency
when a run is queued, before it evaluates any if:.

  18:33  c9ffa62  fix(release): preflight the registry...  cancelled
  18:39  c44693e  chore(release): publish                  skipped

The two faults compounded. Cancelling pr-checks killed walltime, so
simulation won the first-upload race by default and the check compared
bac71dd's walltime number against c9ffa62's simulation number: JPEG XL
Lossless (.110) as 158.5 ms -> 991.8 ms. That 6.3x ratio is the
documented 5-15x simulation-inflation band for wasm decode, not a
regression.

BENCHMARKING.md records both faults, corrects the job locations, and
drops the stale claim that simulation "keeps --parallel" (#89 serialised
it).

Added: a merge of main, and two CI fixes for the CodSpeed check

I pushed a merge of origin/main and one commit. This PR was two commits behind main, so the merge was necessary before the fix.

The commit changes no codec. The commit changes .github/workflows/bench.yml, .github/workflows/pr-checks.yml and BENCHMARKING.md. I put the commit on this PR because this PR has an approval, and the fix must reach main soon. The push removes that approval. Please approve this PR again, or use the administrator bypass.

Fix 1: the walltime bench now runs after the simulation gate

The CodSpeed application makes one check, CodSpeed Performance Analysis. The application makes that check from the first upload of a commit. The application does not make the check again after a later upload.

codspeed-walltime was in pr-checks.yml, beside codspeed-bench in bench.yml. The walltime job finished 2 to 7 minutes earlier on every commit that I examined. Therefore the advisory instrument made the check each time, and the simulation gate made no check:

commit walltime check codspeed-bench result
ab49563 (#79) 18:36:45 18:37:16 18:39:29 failure -32.65%
bac71dd (main) 17:57:33 17:57:46 18:00:03 failure -19.77%
4ce83c9 (main) 17:52:55 17:53:20 17:56:29 failure
073884c (main) 19:44:51 19:45:17 19:47:24 failure
5bfa7ff (main) 21:27:58 21:28:22 21:34:56 success

continue-on-error: true does not stop this behavior. That key sets the conclusion of the job. The CodSpeed application makes an independent check run. No key of a job can mark that check run as advisory.

codspeed-walltime is now in bench.yml, and the job has needs: codspeed-bench. The simulation gate always uploads first, and the gate always makes the check. needs: also keeps the cost low. GitHub gets the metered macro runner when the job starts, so the wait for the bench costs nothing.

Fix 2: pr-checks.yml gets a per-commit push group

#93 gave bench.yml a per-commit concurrency group. pr-checks.yml kept the branch-level group. On a push, head_ref is empty. Therefore every push to main shared one group, and cancel-in-progress was true.

The release workflow pushes a version commit about five minutes after each merge. That version commit cancelled the run of the merge commit. The detect-changes guard then skipped the version commit itself. GitHub applies a concurrency group when a run enters the queue, before GitHub evaluates any if:.

18:33  c9ffa62  fix(release): preflight the registry...  cancelled
18:39  c44693e  chore(release): publish                  skipped

The two faults together

The cancellation of the pr-checks run killed codspeed-walltime on c9ffa62. Simulation then won the upload race. The check compared the walltime number of bac71dd with the simulation number of c9ffa62. The report gave JPEG XL Lossless (.110) as 158.5 ms to 991.8 ms. The ratio is 6.3, and BENCHMARKING.md records a 5-15x inflation for a wasm decode in simulation mode. Therefore the report shows a change of instrument, and not a regression.

One action for the maintainers, after this PR merges

CODSPEED_MACRO_ENABLED is false at this time, so walltime does not run at all. Set the variable to true to get both instruments again:

gh variable set CODSPEED_MACRO_ENABLED --body true

A change of that variable moves the stored numbers to a different instrument. Expect one round of large apparent deltas after the change.

Update the cross-references that still place codspeed-walltime in pr-checks.yml.

This PR moves the job into this file, so four comments now point at a file that no longer defines it:

  • Lines 421-422 here: "The codspeed-walltime job in pr-checks.yml complements this".
  • Line 456: "matching codspeed-walltime in pr-checks.yml".
  • Line 462: "stated in codspeed-walltime's own comment" — the referenced comment is now at lines 642-647 of this file.
  • .github/actionlint.yaml lines 9-18: "Deliberately NOT listed: codspeed-macro (the walltime job in pr-checks.yml)".

The actionlint.yaml one carries operational weight. It is the record of why the unknown-label diagnostic on line 557 is accepted, and it sends the reader to the wrong workflow.
