Add Docker build environment for KiCad WASM

- Add Dockerfile with ARM64-native emscripten/emsdk:4.0.2-arm64 image
- Add docker-compose.yml with resource limits (10 CPUs, 16GB RAM)
- Add helper scripts (build.sh, shell.sh, entrypoint.sh)
- Add Docker README with usage instructions
- Update playwright.config.ts to find free port dynamically
- Add .dockerignore and .gitignore entries for build artifacts

The Docker environment provides reproducible builds with:
- Named volume for build cache (faster I/O on macOS)
- Resource limits to prevent system lockups
- Interactive shell access for debugging

# Docker Build Environment for KiCad WASM
This directory contains Docker configuration for building KiCad for WebAssembly in a reproducible, isolated environment.
## Prerequisites
- Docker Desktop (with Docker Compose v2)
- Git submodules initialized: `git submodule update --init --recursive`
## Quick Start
```bash
# Build KiCad WASM (full build)
./docker/build.sh
# Build with options
./docker/build.sh --no-clean # Skip cleaning build directory
./docker/build.sh --debug # Build with debug symbols
# Interactive shell for debugging
./docker/shell.sh
```
## What Gets Built
The build process includes:
1. **Dependencies** (cached in Docker volume):
- GLM (header-only)
- Zstd, Protobuf
- FreeType, HarfBuzz
- Pixman, Cairo
- Boost (Locale)
- OpenCASCADE (optional, for 3D/STEP)
- CURL headers, libgit2 headers (stubs)
2. **wxWidgets** (built from submodule)
3. **KiCad PCBnew** (main application)
## Container Resources
Configured for M4 Max (adjust in docker-compose.yml):
- CPUs: 10 cores
- Memory: 16GB
## Volume Strategy
| Path | Type | Purpose |
|------|------|---------|
| `/workspace` | Bind mount | Source code |
| `/workspace/build-wasm` | Named volume | Build cache (deps, sysroot) |
| `/workspace/output` | Bind mount | Final WASM output |
## Common Commands
```bash
# Start container
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
# Run a command inside
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml exec kicad-wasm-builder <command>
# View logs
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml logs -f
# Stop container
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down
# Clear build cache (full rebuild)
docker volume rm docker_kicad-build-cache
```
## Troubleshooting
### Build freezes
The OpenCASCADE build is very resource-intensive. If it freezes:
1. Reduce parallel jobs: Edit script to use `-j4` instead of `-j$(nproc)`
2. Monitor with `docker stats`
3. Consider building OpenCASCADE separately with `./scripts/deps/build-opencascade.sh`
### Permission issues
Files created in container are owned by root. To fix:
```bash
sudo chown -R $(whoami) output/
```
### Cache issues
```bash
# Clear all cached builds
docker volume rm docker_kicad-build-cache
# Or clear specific stamps inside container
./docker/shell.sh
rm /workspace/build-wasm/stamps/*.stamp
```
