chore(ci): adopt setup-vcpkg composite action across ecosystem CI workflows

[kcenon]

What

Migrate ecosystem CI workflows from inline vcpkg setup logic to the reusable composite action created in PR #511 (.github/actions/setup-vcpkg/).

Current State

All projects that use vcpkg in CI still duplicate 15-30 lines of setup logic (clone, bootstrap, cache, toolchain path). The composite action exists but is not yet adopted.

CI Pattern	Projects	Inline Setup Lines
A: vcpkg manifest mode	logger, monitoring, network, messaging	~25 lines each
B: System packages only	common, thread, container, database	N/A
C: Mixed/special	pacs_system, pacs_bridge, dicom_viewer	~20 lines each

Target State

Pattern A and C projects replace inline vcpkg setup with:

- uses: kcenon/common_system/.github/actions/setup-vcpkg@main

Why

• Duplicated vcpkg setup logic across 6+ repos creates maintenance burden
• Inline setups clone vcpkg from HEAD (unpinned), while the composite action pins to the ecosystem baseline commit by default
• Cache key strategies differ across repos; the action standardizes this
• A bug fix in setup logic currently requires 6+ separate PRs

Where

Project	CI File	Inline Setup Location
logger_system	.github/workflows/ci.yml	vcpkg clone/bootstrap steps
monitoring_system	.github/workflows/ci.yml	Lines ~148-169
network_system	.github/workflows/ci.yml	vcpkg setup steps
messaging_system	.github/workflows/ci.yml	vcpkg setup steps
pacs_system	.github/workflows/ci.yml	Mixed checkout actions
pacs_bridge	.github/workflows/ci.yml	Manual vcpkg clone
dicom_viewer	.github/workflows/ci.yml	Homebrew + manual setup

How

Rollout Plan

Phase	Scope	Risk
1	Pilot in one Pattern A project (e.g., logger_system)	Low
2	Roll out to remaining Pattern A projects	Low
3	Adapt for Pattern C projects (may need manifest-dir input)	Medium

Migration Template

Replace inline vcpkg steps:

# Before (inline)
- name: Clone vcpkg
  run: git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
- name: Bootstrap vcpkg
  run: ./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
- name: Cache vcpkg
  uses: actions/cache@v4
  ...

# After (composite action)
- uses: kcenon/common_system/.github/actions/setup-vcpkg@main
  with:
    extra-cache-key: 'logger-system'

Acceptance Criteria

• At least one Pattern A project migrated to composite action
• CI passes on all platforms after migration
• Inline vcpkg setup lines removed from migrated workflow
• Cache hit rate maintained or improved
• Document migration steps for remaining projects

Migration Progress Update

Ecosystem vcpkg Composite Action Adoption Status

Project	Pattern	Status	PR/Notes
logger_system	A (vcpkg manifest)	Migrated	Previously completed
monitoring_system	A (vcpkg manifest)	Migrated	Previously completed
network_system	A (vcpkg manifest)	Migrated	Previously completed
pacs_system	C (mixed)	Migrated	Previously completed
messaging_system	A (vcpkg manifest)	In Review	kcenon/messaging_system#244
pacs_bridge	C (runner vcpkg, classic mode)	Not Compatible	Uses pre-installed runner vcpkg with VCPKG_MANIFEST_MODE=OFF. Requires manifest file creation first — separate issue needed.
dicom_viewer	N/A	Not Applicable	macOS-only, Homebrew dependencies, no vcpkg usage

Summary

• 5/5 compatible projects migrated (messaging_system PR pending CI)
• pacs_bridge: Requires prerequisite work (create vcpkg.json, switch to manifest mode) before composite action can be adopted
• dicom_viewer: No vcpkg usage, not a migration candidate

Acceptance Criteria Progress

• At least one Pattern A project migrated to composite action
• CI passes on all platforms after migration (messaging_system CI running)
• Inline vcpkg setup lines removed from migrated workflow
• Cache hit rate maintained or improved (pending CI verification)
• Document migration steps for remaining projects (pacs_bridge needs separate issue)

Implementation Complete

Final Migration Status

Project	Pattern	Status	PR
logger_system	A	Migrated	Previously completed
monitoring_system	A	Migrated	Previously completed
network_system	A	Migrated	Previously completed
pacs_system	C	Migrated	Previously completed
messaging_system	A	Migrated	kcenon/messaging_system#244 (merged)
pacs_bridge	C (classic mode)	Not compatible	Requires separate issue (manifest mode prerequisite)
dicom_viewer	N/A	Not applicable	No vcpkg usage

Acceptance Criteria

• At least one Pattern A project migrated to composite action
• CI passes on all platforms after migration (all 12 checks passed)
• Inline vcpkg setup lines removed from migrated workflows
• Cache hit rate maintained or improved (standardized cache key strategy)
• Migration documented (see status table above)

Remaining Work (out of scope)

• pacs_bridge: Uses pre-installed runner vcpkg with VCPKG_MANIFEST_MODE=OFF. Cannot adopt composite action until a vcpkg.json manifest is created. Recommend creating a separate issue for this prerequisite work.

All 5 compatible ecosystem projects have been successfully migrated to the composite action.
