An idle builder keeps the Docker Desktop VM ballooned: each per-worktree
compose project carries its own ${KICAD_DOCKER_MEM:-32G} cap, build.sh left
the container running afterwards ("interactive use"), and two forgotten
builders plus the VM's page-cache/high-water behavior read as ~56 GB of host
RAM during a ~20 GB build.
stop_builder() now runs from the EXIT trap on every path (success, failure,
Ctrl-C — both the sequential and the pipeline-mode trap). The container is
pure scaffolding — all caches live in the named volumes and `up -d` restarts
it in seconds — so stopping costs nothing. KICAD_KEEP_CONTAINER=1 restores
the old keep-running behavior for interactive debugging; docker/shell.sh is
unaffected (it does its own `up -d`).
Verified live: the full `all --build-deps` run on main left zero containers
running at exit.

Replace the legacy Emscripten JS-exceptions model with native wasm-EH (legacy
encoding) across the whole build, keeping Asyncify coroutines working via a
from-source Binaryen --hoist-cpp-catches pre-pass. Net result: native-EH is the
only build mode, the 3D viewer is on by default, and pcbnew shrinks substantially.
Highlights:
- Binaryen submodule everywhere + --hoist-cpp-catches integration in apply-asyncify;
post-link Asyncify covers every app wasm (not just standalone test wasm).
- Build deps (incl. OpenCASCADE without OCC_CONVERT_SIGNALS) and all KiCad apps
with -fwasm-exceptions; emscripten_sleep added to the post-link asyncify-imports.
- libcontext fiber entry wired under native exceptions; while-loop main loop +
currData shim injected into all wx apps.
- Native-EH collab apply fixed: DEBUG-define the embind TU + match all out-of-CMake
C++ TUs' ABI flags to the core, fixing the vtable-layout skew / mis-dispatch.
- 3D viewer enabled by default (real raytracer linked, not the stub).
- Retire the EH-spike scaffolding; flip the asyncify-races ablation pins to
shim-redundancy pins (native-EH stays clean with the legacy shims ablated).
- Fix the asyncify-races quiescence check to not require Asyncify.currData==0:
under the native-EH per-frame-yield top loop the main stack is asyncify-suspended
every frame, so currData legitimately churns (a freed-but-not-yet-nulled buffer,
not a leak). Refresh the pcbnew toolbar screenshot baseline for the new kicad.
- CI: drop the obsolete binaryen_version input/env (the build uses the binaryen
submodule fork's wasm-opt, not a version download); key the wasm-output cache on
the binaryen submodule SHA instead.
Bumps the wxwidgets + binaryen submodules to their squashed feature commits.
Validated green: all 7 apps native-EH (real 3D in pcbnew); KiCad e2e 63/63
Firefox + Chromium (3D viewer renders); wx 336; coroutine 34/34 both engines;
asyncify 7/7 both engines.

Three orchestration fixes, validated end-to-end on the Hetzner ccx53
(run 27280051992, 1h14m41s vs 4h05m baseline, e2e identical):
- docker-compose CPU/memory caps were hardcoded to dev-Mac defaults
(10 CPUs / 32G); now env-tunable via KICAD_DOCKER_CPUS/KICAD_DOCKER_MEM
(CI exports nproc/110G — the 32-core runner was compiling on 10 cores).
- docker/build.sh: split build_app into compile_app (container) +
postprocess_app (host-side dyncall shims + finalize + asyncify + -O2)
and added KICAD_PIPELINE=1 mode that overlaps each tool's host-side
wasm-opt with the next tool's container compile (max 2 concurrent
postprocesses — pcbnew -O2 peaks ~34G RSS). Also: comma-separated app
lists for cheap pipeline repros.
- get-wasm-opt.sh: Binaryen default 121 -> 130 (fixes the v121 -O2 lock
convoy, ~9x) and BINARYEN_BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=1 support: the official
x86_64-linux release tarballs (Alpine/musl, no LTO, assertions on) run
asyncify 4x slower than a stock gcc -O3+LTO build with sha256-identical
output; self-build takes ~5 min and is instantly repaid.

- README.md: Add Quick Start section with full build sequence
- docker/README.md: Document branch-specific builds with git worktrees
- docker/build.sh: Use branch name for COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME
- docker/docker-compose.yml: Remove hardcoded container_name
Each branch now gets isolated Docker containers/volumes, enabling
parallel development across git worktrees.
