How do you read a timer from within the JPEG XL bitstream? I believe the decoding process is deterministic.

It's a challenge, but I'd probably look into any decoders that parallelize the decoding and see if I can abuse this.
You'd need to exploit an implementation bug, or have the user be streaming or something (so some squares appear before others as the output of your timing attack).
Just wait, its only a short while til JPEG contains the pdf spec and a javascript interpreter
