name: WAI mbt2018_mean integer decode (regenerated vectors)

# `wai.neural.int_hyper` is an integer export of one pretrained model: the
# mbt2018_mean mean-scale hyperprior from the CompressAI model zoo (quality 6,
# MSE), post-training-quantized to integers. WAI states that its whole
# bitstream→image decode is integer, so the Rust decoder reproduces the export
# tool's integer reference byte-for-byte, and that `wai.video.int_hyper` builds a
# clip on that keyframe. The model is too large to commit, so the tests that carry
# these statements read vectors from outside the tree; without them they used to
# return early and report PASS.
#
# This job checks them on every run: it regenerates the vectors from pinned
# inputs (a public-domain photograph shipped in the pinned scikit-image wheel and
# pinned by the SHA-256 of its pixels; the published mbt2018_mean checkpoint,
# pinned by its full SHA-256 and loaded as tensors only; a pinned Python stack),
# then runs the int_hyper vector tests with WAI_REQUIRE_SOTA_VECTORS=1, under which
# a missing vector is a failure. It also runs tests/require_vectors_rule.rs, which
# checks in child processes what the switch does not cover here: that without it a
# variable naming absent or incomplete inputs still fails, and a test skips only
# when no variable names what is missing (an unset variable, or an absent or
# incomplete default location). What passes here:
# - the Rust integer decode reproduces the export tool's integer reference
#   byte-for-byte (synthesis, hyper-decoder, the whole conditional bitstream, the
#   compact binary model, the eight-frame clip);
# - on the pinned photograph, the integer decode costs at most 1 dB against the
#   same model's float decode (the bar CI enforces), measured by the Rust decoder
#   on its own output. Measured on an Apple Silicon Mac: 35.985 dB for the integer
#   decode (8-bit PSNR against the source pixels) against 36.175 dB for the float
#   decode (the export tool's PSNR of the float reconstruction, before 8-bit
#   rounding), a cost of 0.19 dB, from 6328 bytes of rANS payload for the
#   256×256 crop (about 0.77 bits per pixel).
#
# What this job does not cover:
# - How mbt2018_mean compares with any other codec. Nothing here measures rate or
#   distortion against another model or standard; the job checks only that the
#   integer decode is exact and within 1 dB of the same model's float decode.
# - Quality on other images. PSNR is image-dependent and the job measures one
#   crop. The 42.6 dB development figure was measured on a photograph that is not
#   in the repository.
# - Cross-architecture byte-equality of these vectors. They are regenerated on
#   this runner, so the job checks Rust against the Python reference on one
#   machine (x86_64 Linux). The cross-architecture check is the committed tiny
#   int_hyper vector in wai-byte-equality.yml.
# - Portable or repeatable vector hashes. No expected hash of the regenerated
#   vectors is pinned in the repository (the committed tiny vector's is, in
#   tests/vectors/int_hyper/tiny.json). Each is written by the same run's export
#   and checked in that run, and a hash taken from one run's vectors must not be
#   pinned for another run, on this machine or another: it can differ with both
#   decoders correct. What was measured, comparing all sixteen files by SHA-256:
#   - Between an Apple Silicon Mac and this runner's x86_64 image, four files
#     differed. int_synth_sota_input.json (the synthesis-only test's input
#     latent, which the float encoder and hyper-decoder compute) differed, and
#     with it the rgb_hash in int_synth_sota.json (fd9ca73a… on the Mac,
#     f0fb6813… here); each side wrote the same latent in all of its runs.
#     cond.json and int_synth_sota.json also differed. Beyond that rgb_hash,
#     their difference is not established as a machine difference: both files
#     also differ from run to run on this runner, most likely in psnr_float
#     (next point). source.png differed in its compressed bytes only: step 1
#     writes it with the PNG encoder from the pinned pixels before any model
#     runs, and its pixels (source.rgb) were identical, so that difference is
#     the encoder's output, not float computation.
#   - Two runs of the same export on this runner (same image, pins and tree,
#     minutes apart) wrote different cond.json and int_synth_sota.json; the
#     other fourteen files and both rgb_hash values matched. The field those two
#     files share that comes from the float model is psnr_float, the float
#     decode's PSNR, so it most likely varies from run to run here, although the
#     export sets torch to deterministic algorithms on one thread. The runner's
#     files were not kept, so the field is inferred, not diffed. Repeated runs on
#     the Mac wrote identical files.
#   Nothing the tests compare exactly reads psnr_float; only the quality test
#   does, against its thresholds (the 1 dB bar and a 30 dB floor). The files
#   that matched (both models, the conditional bitstream, frame0, the clip) are
#   derived from float computation too, so matching here does not make them
#   portable. The pins that hold across runs and machines are on the inputs: the
#   photograph's pixels and the checkpoint's bytes. The Python stack is pinned
#   by version, but each platform installs its own build of it.
# The JPEG-AI whole-decoder tests run in wai-jpegai-e2e.yml (see
# wai/wai-rs/tests/support/require_vectors.rs).
#
# The path filters list the source files the int_hyper decode imports, among
# them src/int_kernels.rs (the fast convolution kernels int_hyper_synth.rs runs
# through). An entry for a file the tree does not have matches nothing until the
# file exists. A module the decode path starts importing belongs here too;
# otherwise a change to that module alone is first checked by the weekly run.
#
# Licences of what is fetched: CompressAI and its model zoo, BSD-3-Clause-Clear;
# the astronaut photograph, public domain (NASA), per the scikit-image docstring.

# One run per branch at a time. A push supersedes the run before it.
#
# There is one `macos` runner and it is the dev Mac, so every macOS job in this
# repo queues on it. With no concurrency group, a session pushing four versions
# of a branch queued four complete sets of runs and every one of them had to
# drain: on 2026-10-05 a PR's 21 contexts settled none in 70 minutes behind a
# backlog of 25 runs, and the queue grew faster than it cleared. Only the newest
# commit's verdict is wanted, so the older runs are cancelled.
#
# Verified on this forge (Forgejo 16.0.5) in `ci-test` before being added here:
# the key parses, and a newer push moves an older run to `cancelled` even while
# it is still queued, which is the case that matters.
#
# `cancel-in-progress: true` also applies to `main`. That is deliberate and
# safe here: main advances by merge commits whose tree contains the commits
# before them, so the newer run covers the older one's changes.
