The feature existed for one reason: truck's mesh and boolean crates reach
`vtkio → xz2 → lzma-sys`, a C library that cannot cross-compile to wasm32. So
the web build dropped it, and with it the Model tab, solid tessellation and
ACIS import — all of which quietly did nothing in the browser.
cadkernel is pure Rust and has no C dependency, so none of that holds any
more. The feature gated exactly two things by the end, `acis_export` and the
save-path sync that calls it, and both are as portable as everything around
them. Removing it means the web build makes primitives, runs booleans, draws
ACIS solids read from a file, and writes them back out as exact geometry — the
same as the desktop build.
Verified against all three: native, `--no-default-features`, and an actual
`wasm32-unknown-unknown` check rather than an assumption about one.
The docs claimed otherwise in four places and are corrected. `tessellation.md`
in particular was organised around whether an entity "goes through truck",
which is no longer a question anything can be asked — the three paths are now
a kernel B-rep mesh, a curve sampled through `entities::curve`, or geometry
emitted directly, and the per-entity table is updated to match.
`index.html` no longer passes `data-cargo-no-default-features`; there are no
features left to turn off.

With the wasm bundle building, get it rendering in a browser:
- Enable iced `webgl` so wgpu uses WebGL2 where WebGPU is absent
(e.g. Firefox by default), and `fira-sans` so UI text has an
embedded font (the web has no system fonts) — without it every
label was blank.
- Replace `std::time::Instant` with `iced::time::Instant` (web-safe);
`Instant::now()` panics ("time not implemented") on wasm and crashed
at boot via the command line.
- Skip the batched-hatch pipeline on wasm: its bind group needs
vertex-stage storage buffers, which WebGL2 lacks (validation error
on "New drawing"). Fields become Option; upload/draw guard on them.
Hatches don't draw on the web for now; everything else does.
- Fix the trunk feature flag (`data-cargo-no-default-features`) and
ignore the `dist/` build output.
Native build + 75 tests unchanged.

The binary now compiles for wasm32 as a runnable web target:
- Split the main-window render into `view_main`, bypassing the
multi-window id dispatch the browser cannot use.
- Add `run_web` / `boot_web`: a single-window `iced::application`
entry for wasm (the browser canvas is the only window). Native
keeps the multi-window `iced::daemon` via cfg-split in `main`.
- Add a `console_error_panic_hook` (wasm-only) for readable panics.
- Add `index.html` + `Trunk.toml` so `trunk serve` builds the wasm
bundle (no-default-features → no solid3d) with COOP/COEP headers.
Native build and all 75 tests unchanged. Browser runtime (rayon
threads, canvas attach, real file I/O) is the next iteration.
