CI runs (Hetzner 27329612719, Ubicloud 27330989479) failed 22/41 identically,
in two buckets, both firefox-environment issues (the suite is firefox-only:
test:kicad -> --project=firefox):
1. No WebGL: headless Firefox can't create ANY GL context on a GPU-less VM
(blocklist bypass still dies with FEATURE_FAILURE_WEBGL_EXHAUSTED_DRIVERS),
so the GAL canvas failed and an error dialog blocked every UI flow. Fix:
run headed under xvfb (GLX + Mesa llvmpipe software GL) with
webgl.force-enabled — workflows now wrap the e2e step in xvfb-run.
2. pcbnew wasm OOM: the ~190M module OOMs Firefox's optimizing wasm JIT at
compile ("InternalError: out of memory") and the app never boots. Fix:
javascript.options.wasm_optimizingjit=false (baseline-only compile).
Both prefs are CI-gated in playwright-kicad.config.ts; local runs keep stock
behavior. Boot got slower (baseline JIT), so the wizard helpers now wait for
the registry to have actual UI ENTRIES (the registry OBJECT exists pre-boot)
instead of clicking into a fixed 10x500ms window.
Validated in a local docker repro of the CI env (playwright:v1.57.0 image,
no GPU): pl_editor canvas, gerbview wizard+canvas, and pcbnew wizard (on a
properly asyncified 187M module) all pass; before the fix they reproduced the
exact CI signatures.
Known-fail left on CI: zoom-cursor — the zoom-in anchors at ~ -P in headed
Firefox (screen-vs-client coordinate mix-up in the wheel->GAL path, headed
mode only); marked test.fixme(CI) pending a wx-wasm-layer investigation.

Per run, a fresh ccx53 VM is created (Cyclenerd/hcloud-github-runner),
builds + tests run on it, and it is always torn down — no persistent
infra, no lingering cost. Secrets: HCLOUD_TOKEN, HETZNER_RUNNER_PAT.
- ci-full-build.yml: the main-branch CI and the only push-triggered
workflow. Full build of all 6 tools (pipelined wasm-opt, self-built
Binaryen 130, ~1h15m) + KiCad e2e; docs-only pushes excluded via
paths-ignore.
- ci.yml (eeschema-only smoke) and wasm-opt-bench.yml (config sweeps):
workflow_dispatch-only, since every push-run costs a paid VM.
- Shared one-Hetzner-slot concurrency group across the workflows.
