🛡️ Implements PYSDK-148 following CC-SOP-01 Change Control, part of our ISO 13485-certified QMS | Ketryx Project

Summary

  • application run prepare computed the CRC32C checksum of each source slide in 1 KB chunks, turning a multi-GB WSI into ~millions of tiny reads whose per-read overhead dominates on slow / high-latency storage (USB, network drives) — field-reported as effectively unusable for a ~2000-slide batch on a USB drive at a customer site (Charité).
  • Introduces APPLICATION_RUN_METADATA_CHECKSUM_CHUNK_SIZE (8 MB) and uses it in the prepare checksum loop, replacing the hardcoded 1024 bytes. The CRC32C result is byte-identical; 8 MB stays well within the 8 GB RAM floor.
  • Local benchmark on real slides: ~42× faster full-file hashing at 8 MB vs 1 KB.

Test plan

  • ruff check + ruff format --check pass on the changed file
  • cli_pipeline_validation_test.py passes (7 tests)
  • CI matrix green (unit + integration + e2e)
  • Field validation: run prepare on the large-slide USB batch at Charité completes materially faster

Risk

Low — single-file change, checksum output unchanged, no API / schema / dependency changes.

The CRC32C checksum in run prepare read source slides in 1KB chunks,
turning a multi-GB WSI into ~millions of tiny reads whose per-read
overhead dominates on slow/high-latency storage (USB, network drives).
A local benchmark measured ~42x faster full-file hashing at 8MB vs 1KB.

Introduce APPLICATION_RUN_METADATA_CHECKSUM_CHUNK_SIZE (8MB) and use it
in the prepare checksum loop. Checksum result is unchanged; 8MB stays
well within the 8GB RAM floor.

Generate the CycloneDX SBOM with `cyclonedx-py environment --pyproject
pyproject.toml` so the SBOM includes a root component (the `aignostics`
application) that anchors the dependency graph.

Without a root component, all ~400 dependencies are emitted as unanchored
nodes, forcing Ketryx's synchronous /builds endpoint to do excessive
dependency-relation work; it runs for minutes and returns HTTP 500. This
reproduced deterministically per commit (e.g. commit a1b4931 failed 10+
retries over two days) and was blocking Ketryx build reporting for the
release. Ketryx flagged the missing root component as the root cause.

Verified locally: the regenerated SBOM now has root component
`aignostics` (type: application) anchoring 67 direct dependencies.

Empty commit to force a new commit SHA so Ketryx processes a brand-new
build. Re-running the failed job re-submits an existing build (created
despite the earlier 500) and hits a short-circuit path, so it is not a
reliable test of Ketryx's server-side fix.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>
The Ketryx action derives `changeRequestNumber` from GITHUB_REF_NAME when
it ends in `/merge` (pull_request runs, e.g. "694/merge"). Ketryx then
attempts to fetch the PR as a Code Change Request (CCR) and returns HTTP
500 when that fetch fails — which per Ketryx is due to the PAT lacking the
required GitHub permissions. This failed the build even though the build
and SBOM were reported successfully server-side, blocking the release.

We do not use the CCR / item-association feature (check-item-association
is false), so override GITHUB_REF_NAME to the branch name (which never
ends in `/merge`) for the report step, making the action send no
changeRequestNumber and skip the failing CCR fetch.

Root cause identified by Ketryx (Anton) in the PYSDK support thread.

…0 on PRs

The prior step-level `env: GITHUB_REF_NAME` override was silently ignored:
GitHub Actions does not allow `env:` to override default GITHUB_* variables,
so the action still read "694/merge" and sent changeRequestNumber=694
(confirmed via debug: `Determined PR number 694 based on ref name 694/merge`),
triggering Ketryx's failing CCR fetch and HTTP 500.

Rewrite GITHUB_REF_NAME via $GITHUB_ENV (which can override defaults) to the
branch name so no changeRequestNumber is sent. Additionally mark the report
step continue-on-error on pull_request runs as a safety net: the build and
SBOM land in Ketryx regardless of the 500, so a Ketryx-side failure must not
block PR CI. On push/tag runs (releases) the ref never ends in "/merge" and
continue-on-error is false, so the gate is still enforced.

Empty commit to trigger a fresh pull_request run after removing the
skip:test:long_running label, so long-running tests execute and Codecov
project coverage returns above the 70% threshold (they cover ~10% of the
codebase; skipping them dropped project coverage to 66.76%).
