End-to-end smoke for catheter navigation covering setup, digital twin, DRR, and unit tests. Use when asked to run the full catheter workflow smoke or demo the v0.7 pipeline.

i4h Catheter Navigation - End-to-End Smoke
Purpose
Run a v0.7 smoke pipeline: verify setup, build a digital twin from a TotalSegmentator subject, render a DRR from cache, and run CPU unittests. Skips the interactive viewport (requires display).
Base Code
ROOT="${I4H_WORKFLOWS:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)}"
if [ ! -d "$ROOT/workflows/catheter_navigation" ]; then
ROOT="${I4H_WORKFLOWS:-$HOME/i4h-workflows}"
[ -d "$ROOT/workflows/catheter_navigation" ] || git clone https://github.com/isaac-for-healthcare/i4h-workflows "$ROOT"
fi
export I4H_WORKFLOWS="$ROOT"; cd "$ROOT"
Basics
Stages map to individual skills; this skill chains them with shared RUN_DIR and CACHE.
| Stage | Skill |
|---|---|
| setup + CPU smoke | [[i4h-catheter-navigation-setup]] |
| digital twin | [[i4h-catheter-navigation-digital-twin]] |
| GPU DRR | [[i4h-catheter-navigation-render-drr]] |
| unittest | [[i4h-catheter-navigation-smoke]] |
Run
Run the steps below in order. Each step is a separate bash call; variables persist in the local agent's tmux session.
Step 1 - initialize run
REPO_ROOT="${I4H_WORKFLOWS:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)}"; [ -d "$REPO_ROOT/workflows/catheter_navigation" ] || REPO_ROOT="$HOME/i4h-workflows"
WF_ROOT="${REPO_ROOT}/workflows/catheter_navigation"
RUN_DIR="${WF_ROOT}/runs/e2e_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "${RUN_DIR}/logs"
ln -sfn "${RUN_DIR}" "${WF_ROOT}/runs/.latest"
CACHE="${CACHE:-/tmp/ct_cache}"
SUBJ="${SUBJ:-}"
export I4H_WORKFLOWS="$REPO_ROOT"
Step 2 - setup verify
Follow [[i4h-catheter-navigation-setup]] Steps 1-3; tee to ${RUN_DIR}/logs/setup.log.
Step 3 - digital twin (requires SUBJ)
Set SUBJ to an extracted TotalSegmentator subject, then follow [[i4h-catheter-navigation-digital-twin]] Steps 3-4.
If SUBJ is unset, skip to Step 4 with synthetic DRR only and note partial e2e in the summary.
Step 4 - render DRR
If Step 3 succeeded, set CACHE and follow [[i4h-catheter-navigation-render-drr]] cache variant.
Otherwise run synthetic render to ${RUN_DIR}/drr_synthetic.png.
Step 5 - smoke tests
Follow [[i4h-catheter-navigation-smoke]]; log to ${RUN_DIR}/logs/smoke.log.
Step 6 - summary
cat > "${RUN_DIR}/logs/SUMMARY.txt" <<EOF
Catheter navigation e2e smoke
RUN_DIR=${RUN_DIR}
CACHE=${CACHE}
SUBJ=${SUBJ:-<skipped>}
Artifacts:
$(ls -1 "${RUN_DIR}" 2>/dev/null || true)
EOF
cat "${RUN_DIR}/logs/SUMMARY.txt"
Flags (informal)
- Skip digital twin when
SUBJunset -> synthetic DRR only. - Add viewport manually via [[i4h-catheter-navigation-viewport]] when a display is available.
Outputs
RUN_DIR/logs/- per-stage logs andSUMMARY.txtRUN_DIR/drr.pngordrr_synthetic.png- rendered frameCACHE/- digital twin artifacts when Step 3 ran
Prerequisites
- [[i4h-catheter-navigation-setup]] host requirements.
SUBJfor full e2e (otherwise partial smoke).- GPU for Step 4 cache render.
Limitations
- Does not launch the interactive viewport (display required).
- Does not cover RL/IL training loops.
Troubleshooting
- Partial run when no CT data - expected; document which stages ran.
- GPU render failure - fall back to synthetic DRR and report GPU setup gap.
Final Response
Print RUN_DIR, stages completed/skipped, DRR output path, smoke-test status, and recommend [[i4h-catheter-navigation-viewport]] for interactive demo.
