Summary

Adds the specification for the viewport fidelity indicator — a per-viewport indicator and
detail view telling the user when the displayed image is not a faithful rendering of the stored
pixel data, why, and whether it will improve.

Documentation only. No code changes.

Funded scope: OHIF / FU Berlin Set-Aside, task T6 (Aim 2.3, required), with the
Cornerstone3D viewport fidelity state it consumes (T3).

What's here

File Purpose
specs/viewport-fidelity/requirements.md The specification (EARS, VF prefix)
specs/viewport-fidelity/feature-request.md Design feature-request body
specs/viewport-fidelity/issue-ohif-implementation.md OHIF implementation issue body
specs/viewport-fidelity/issue-cs3d-fidelity-state.md Cornerstone3D (T3) issue body

The model

A state machine over lossiness through time, not a severity scale. Yellow = lossy now,
expected to improve. Red = lossy now, and this is as good as it gets. Green = was lossy, is not
any more, shown for ~1s then withdrawn. No indicator at all for a viewport that has never
been lossy — its presence is itself information. A viewport with no data displayed is neither
lossy nor lossless.

The premise, stated as requirements in §4.1 VF-AUTO: the system decides what to render, not
the user.
The previous decimated-views approach failed by making users dictate the settings
needed to view things quickly. An indicator is what makes automatic decision-making acceptable
rather than opaque — which is also why it is read-only.

Specification convention

This spec is the first to use a two-section split: §4 user requirements and §5
implementation requirements. The distinction is load-bearing — §5 may change freely as better
approaches emerge, while §4 changes only if a requirement was described wrongly or the intended
user-facing behaviour is itself changing, never because it proved inconvenient to implement.

Proposed as the preferred convention for this register generally. Existing specs are not
retrofitted here.

Not yet done

The specs/ register tree is not on master, so the VF prefix row and the specs/index.md
conventions edit are both pending, to be applied on whichever branch carries specs/. The
companion design.md follows once the spec lands there.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added draft specifications for a per-viewport indicator showing when displayed images have reduced fidelity.
    • Defined indicator states for temporary, final, and recently recovered fidelity loss, and when no indicator is shown.
    • Described the read-only detail view, fidelity state changes, and requirements for progressive loading, reduced resolution, decimation, and coarser sampling.
    • Added guidance on behavioral specification structure, requirement identifiers, and authoring conventions.

wayfarer3130 and others added 2 commits September 4, 2026 14:33
Specification for the OHIF per-viewport fidelity indicator (T6), plus the
Cornerstone3D viewport fidelity state it consumes (T3).

Split into user requirements (VF-INFO, VF-VIS, VF-DET, VF-CFG, VF-LANG) and
implementation requirements (VF-STATE, VF-VOCAB, VF-REG, VF-UX, VF-CS3D,
VF-DOC), so that the implementation half can change freely while the
user-facing guarantees change only when described wrongly.

Includes draft issue bodies for the design feature request and the two
implementation issues.

The system decides what to render, not the user. Adds VF-AUTO as the first
user requirement group in the viewport fidelity specification, ahead of the
information requirements, because it is the premise the rest depends on
rather than a design preference.

The previous decimated-views approach failed by requiring users to dictate
the settings needed to view things quickly. An indicator is what makes
automatic decision-making acceptable rather than opaque: the system decides
continuously and discloses when a decision cost the user something. This is
also the substantive reason the indicator is read-only, beyond keeping
excluded scope out of a funded gate.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "docs(specs): viewport fidelity indicator specification" matches the main change. The PR adds a documentation-only specification for a per-viewport fidelity indicator, and the title names that subject and the document type. It follows the semantic-release format from the template.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the required sections. The Summary explains the viewport fidelity indicator and states that the PR is documentation only. The file table lists the four new spec files. The model section explains the state machine, and the Not yet done and Issues sections give status and links. The template's Context, Testing, and Checklist sections are absent. The description also does not mark the checklist items, and it does not give a Testing section for this documentation-only change. The Context section is largely covered by the Summary, but no issue is linked with the 'Fixes #' format, since the related issues are referenced rather than closed.

Resolution

Consider adding a Context section that links the related issues with the template format. Add a Testing note (for example, that the change is documentation only and needs no runtime checks). Mark or address the checklist items, including the PR title check and the documentation-update item, or state that they do not apply.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Clicking the indicator opens a read-only detail view with three sections: how much was lost
(`Decimated volume x/2, y/2, z/4`), why (`This GPU only supports textures up to <n>` versus
`The requested performance target is too slow at this size`), and the interactive performance
operating point (`Output resolution 50% to maintain 30 fps`).

Define non-pointer activation for the detail and recovery states.

This request makes the detail view click-based and makes the recovered state hover-based. The requirements use activation and require the state to remain re-revealable, but these instructions do not define keyboard focus, keyboard activation, or touch behavior. Add an equivalent non-pointer path and test it; otherwise some users cannot complete VF-DET-1 or VF-VIS-1d.

3. **The information carries, separately** (`VF-CS3D-3`):
- the affected **dimension** — data resolution, display resolution, sampling density,
decoded extent, pixel value quantisation, transform approximation, or rendering path;
- the **cause** — a device capability limit, a performance target, an incomplete load, or an
irreversibly lossy decode;
- the **quantified magnitude** — per-axis decimation factors, decoded bytes, output
resolution percentage, sampling ratio. Consumers must be able to render
`Decimated volume x/2, y/2, z/4` or `Progressive decode, 32 kB initial`, not just
"reduced quality";
- whether the difference is **transient or standing**.

Define the T3/T6 state and event contract before implementation.

VF-VIS-5 allows multiple simultaneous fidelity differences, but this contract lists singular dimension, cause, magnitude, and status fields. It also does not define current image/display-set identity or event ordering. Specify whether the state is a collection, name one event contract, and define its payload, identity, revision, and compatibility rules. Without this contract, OHIF cannot reliably render every affected dimension or ignore stale events after scrolling and display-set changes.

4. **The transition must be observable, not just the current value.** A progressive load that
*completes without reaching full resolution* moves from transient to standing, and that
transition is the single most important thing the indicator reports (`VF-INFO-5a`) — a
stalled lossy load is visually indistinguishable from one still in flight.

Define standing before mapping it to terminally lossy.

The requirements define terminally lossy as not expected to improve for the current data, viewport, and device. This file only defines standing, while the requirements map standing directly to terminally lossy. If standing only means persistent at the current time, OHIF can show red while a later load or interaction can still improve the rendering. Define the invariant and the transient-to-standing transition.

Represent each fidelity reason as a member of an extensible, type-safe set of string keys, each
carrying typed arguments that interpolate into a parameterised translation string
(`VF-VOCAB-1`, `-2`), registrable by an extension without a core change (`VF-VOCAB-3`).

Follow the `AppTypes` declaration-merged registry idiom established by
`AppTypes.Customizations` (`VF-VOCAB-4`) — the seeded registry interface in
`platform/core/src/types/AppTypes.ts`, the `<K extends keyof AppTypes.X>` lookup overload with
a loose-string fallback in `CustomizationService.ts`, and the mapped write type with an
index-signature escape hatch in `CustomizationService/types.ts`.
`AppTypes.CustomizationUpdateCommands` is the smaller "key → typed argument object" variant and
the closer structural match; note its load-bearing `Partial`.

Define the mapping from T3 state to the OHIF reason registry.

T3 supplies separate dimension, cause, magnitude, and transient/standing state. This issue requires OHIF reason keys with typed translation arguments, but it does not define whether T3 emits a stable reason key or OHIF maps (dimension, cause) to one. Define that boundary and the generic fallback for unknown values. Without it, extensions can register keys that no event can select, and new T3 reasons can be mislabelled or dropped.

Scope VF-VIS-1 to enabled deployments.

VF-VIS-1 requires an indicator whenever a fidelity difference exists. VF-CFG-1 permits a deployment to remove that indicator. A deployment that enables removal cannot satisfy both requirements. State that VF-VIS-1 applies when the indicator is enabled, and make the removal warning the explicit exception.

Add VF-VIS-5a: a viewport that shows more than one display set shows
the state of the worst display set. A terminally lossy display set wins,
also while another display set still loads, and the detail view says
that other data still loads. Consistent with FIDELITY-STATE-12 in the
Cornerstone3D viewport fidelity spec.

Define the cross-display-set aggregation contract.

VF-VIS-4a applies within one display set. VF-VIS-5a applies across display sets, so it does not need to be an exception to VF-VIS-4a. The linked OHIF and Cornerstone3D issue bodies define the current-image state but do not define how a viewport combines states from multiple display sets.

Add the aggregation contract to both issue bodies:

-Report the state of the image **currently displayed**, not the worst across the display set
-  (`VF-VIS-4a`).
+For each display set, report the state of the image **currently displayed** (`VF-VIS-4a`).
+If a viewport shows more than one display set, apply the defined state precedence across
+those per-display-set states and report the worst display set (`VF-VIS-5a`). Do not select
+the worst image within one display set.

Keep the source of loading information as a separate contract.

report the worst display set under VF-VIS-5a, without selecting the worst image
within a display set. Keep the source of loading information as a separate
contract.

Remove the claim that OHIF already displays the Cornerstone3D fidelity indicator.

The current overlay implementation has no fidelity indicator. T3 defines the prerequisite Cornerstone3D state, and T6 defines the OHIF implementation.

Suggested wording
-> Until then, OHIF shows the Cornerstone3D fidelity indicator. The Cornerstone3D indicator does not meet all
-> of the `VF` requirements, for example `VF-CFG-1`, `VF-VIS-1d`, `VF-LANG-4`, and `VF-REG-2`.
+> The Cornerstone3D fidelity state is a prerequisite for the OHIF fidelity indicator.
+> The indicator is not available until the T3 and T6 implementation work is complete.

Update the fidelity requirements text to remove the claim that OHIF currently
displays a Cornerstone3D fidelity indicator. State instead that Cornerstone3D
fidelity state is a prerequisite and the indicator is unavailable until the T3
and T6 implementation work is complete; preserve the surrounding requirements
context.

- Add specs/index.md with the register of prefixes, the EARS rules, and
  the convention that splits user requirements from implementation
  requirements (section 4.1).
- VF: the prefix is reserved; section 2.1 links to the register, and says
  that the agent guidance does not record the convention yet.

**Cross-component citation** uses the full identifier. A segmentation specification that
inherits the sidebar contract writes "the segmentation sidebar shall satisfy `SB-*`" rather
than restating those requirements.

Use a full identifier in the cross-component citation example.

The rule requires a full identifier, but the example uses SB-*, which is a prefix wildcard. Replace it with a concrete identifier such as SB-COMP-2, or define the wildcard form and its traceability semantics.

A specification has two requirement sections, and the two sections stay clearly separate:

1. **User requirements**: what the user must be able to do, or must be able to determine, to
work safely.
2. **Implementation requirements**: how the work is done, or the recommended approach.

Align the stability rule with the two-section model.

Lines 10–13 define specifications as stable and implementation-independent. Lines 102–106 define implementation requirements as how the work is done. The linked requirements.md uses this model for VF-STATE-*, so the convention is internally inconsistent. State that only user requirements are implementation-independent, or move implementation constraints to design.md.

Update the stability rule in the specification guidance to match the two-section
model: keep user requirements implementation-independent while allowing
implementation requirements to describe how the work is done. Alternatively,
move implementation constraints to design.md if that preserves the existing
document convention; do not leave the stability rule contradicting the
implementation-requirements definition.

- VF-AUTO-1 and VF-AUTO-4 get the condition "WHERE the deployment
  enables lossy downsampling", because the default build keeps it off.
- The source line and section 2.3 name the funded task list, not the
  acceptance-criteria document.
