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.

Bump wxwidgets to the %p->%zu radio-group name fix and add a standalone
wxWidgets harness plus an e2e regression that asserts three radio groups
in one window select independently. Build artifacts are gitignored; only
radiogroups_test.cpp is tracked.

- Standalone wx test apps (contextmenu, scrollbar) + e2e specs proving the
wxScrollBar control, the wxScrolledWindow gutter, and DoPopupMenu.
- KiCad in-app specs: pl_editor + pcbnew canvas right-click context menus and
scrolled-panel scrollbar gutters, with baseline screenshots.
- build-wx-wasm.sh: serial -j1 fallback when the parallel build trips the
intermittent clean-build race (a generated header read mid-rewrite by
concurrent compiles; never happens at -j1). Recovery resumes from built
objects; a genuine error still fails the serial pass.
- Bump wxwidgets submodule (context menus + draggable scrollbars).

Bump wxwidgets (8814ddb) for the two DOM-port fixes and add their reproductions:
- tests/apps/standalone/{textctrl-reentry,tooltip-lifetime}: standalone wx repro
apps + Makefile.wasm targets (textctrl links -fexceptions to throw from a
wxEVT_TEXT handler), driven by tests/e2e/dom-port-bugs.spec.ts. Each app is
deterministic and self-contained (no UB, ASAN, or timing dependence).
- docs/features/wx-dom-port/branch-review.md: branch review with findings #2/#3
marked fixed and a "Bug reproductions and fixes" section, including the
asyncify + legacy-EH gotcha (catch/destructor landing pads are unreliable
while unwinding through asyncify frames).

The asyncify single-slot work, executed red-green (full ledger:
docs/features/asyncify-arbiter/redgreen.md; decisions record:
docs/features/async/07-decisions-and-outcome.md):
- tests/apps/standalone/asyncify-races/ + tests/asyncify/ + dedicated
playwright config: 8 scenarios reproducing the KiCad asyncify failure
family with the kicad-faithful startup topology (pre-park fiber swap →
park throw through the live trampoline). Built in 3 variants; the
SHIM_DISABLE_TRAMPOLINE_HEAL / SHIM_DISABLE_HANDLESLEEP ablation builds
keep the historical hang and index-out-of-bounds crash reproducible
forever (mutation-style pins for the existing shims).
- scripts/common/shims/handlesleep.js: catch the "unwind" park sentinel
in the wakeUp path — when main's last pre-park suspension was a sleep,
the main-loop park throw escaped through that sleep's promise reaction
as an uncaught rejection (the calculator/gerbview console errors).
- scripts/common/inject-dyncall-shims.sh: SHIM_DISABLE_* ablation knobs.
- Spec tightening (the acceptance bar): 'uncaught exception: unwind'
tolerance DELETED from pcbnew/eeschema specs; load-pcb gained a hard
clean-console gate over 5 asyncify corruption signatures.
- wxwidgets pointer bump: modal LIFO resolvers, pump resolve-on-error,
sync clipboard IsSupported (014f67e6c1).
Final state: asyncify suite 7/7, wx e2e 291/292 (1 skip), KiCad e2e 40
passed / 2 skipped with ZERO corruption signatures in any log across all
six apps.

- build-pcbnew.sh: add --diag=<gal,coroutine,ctor,all> -> -DKICAD_DIAG_*,
off by default (forwarded by docker/build.sh)
- diagnostics.js: emit at console.log level (no longer error/warn); still
gated by SHIM_DIAGNOSTICS=1
- apply-asyncify.sh: exclude PCB_EDIT_FRAME::setupUIConditions() from
asyncify instrumentation (V8 cannot run the instrumented huge function
on the rewound ctor stack -> Chrome startup stall; Firefox unaffected)
- DEBUG.md: reusable WASM/asyncify/browser debugging guide, diagnostic
flag docs, and a production-build (release + -O2 asyncify) recipe
- tests: standalone coroutine vcall/gl repro probes
- bump kicad + wxwidgets submodules (diagnostic gating / debug cleanup)

Investigation scaffolding for the Chrome-only KiCad coroutine renderer crash.
Adds isolated reproduction probes exercising the coroutine/Asyncify/fiber layer
under KiCad-like conditions, runnable in BOTH Firefox and system Chrome.
- tests/playwright-coroutine.config.ts + test:coroutine:firefox|chrome npm
scripts: run the coroutine specs in Firefox AND system Chrome (the old e2e
config only used bundled Chromium, which never reproduced the crash).
- tests/apps/standalone/coroutine-pthread/: no-wx + pthreads reproduction probes
(fiber-in-main, nested invoke_/dynCall boundaries, RunMainStack, embind,
main-loop/rAF activation) + worker_dom_stub.js for wx+pthreads builds.
- tests/apps/Makefile.wasm: coroutine-pthread{,-main,-nested,-nested-ex,-wx,
-embind,-mainloop} targets.
- scripts/common/shims/diagnostics.js: add EM_ASYNC_JS handleSleep enter/wake
tracking (DIAG_SLEEP) to detect nested-async at the crash.
Findings (details in research notes): every isolated factor so far — direct /
nested / RunMainStack fiber, wx event loop + all 13 scenarios incl EM_ASYNC_JS,
pthreads, and main-loop/rAF activation — runs CLEAN in system Chrome. The
coroutine/Asyncify layer is exonerated; GL/WebGL is the remaining untested factor
(next). The reliable FF-pass/Chrome-fail repro is still the KiCad pcbnew e2e.

Main-repo side of a multi-part WIP covering the KiCad WASM tool-selection
and nested-Asyncify work. Submodule commits are in kicad@f6e9239aaa
(libcontext hygiene) and wxwidgets@bb80f91e8b (auibar registration +
dialog diagnostics).
## scripts/common/inject-dyncall-shims.sh
Wrap Asyncify.handleSleep / allocateData to save-and-restore Asyncify.currData
around each EM_ASYNC_JS sleep. This fixes the nested Asyncify collision where
a fiber swap that fired during a modal's event loop clobbered currData, and
the modal's later doRewind used the fiber's buffer and hit "RuntimeError:
index out of bounds". Root cause documented as Emscripten Issue #9153
(wontfix upstream).
Diagnostic-rewind logging (forcedBottomOfCallStack, callStack traces) is
retained to help future debugging of Asyncify state corruption.
## tests/
- tests/playwright-kicad.config.ts: add `channel: 'chrome'` for the
chromium project so --project=chromium --headed uses system Chrome
(real GPU) instead of SwiftShader on ARM Mac. Also switch trace to
retain-on-failure + screenshot on-failure for easier E2E debugging.
- tests/kicad/pcbnew.spec.ts: replace `tool.checked` assertions with a
label-suffix check (`[checked]`) since our auibar registration encodes
checked state in the label (no schema change to the registry).
- tests/apps/Makefile.wasm: add `coroutine-nested` build target + include
it in the all: list.
- tests/apps/standalone/coroutine/: kicad_coroutine_harness.h + test app
reproducing KiCad COROUTINE semantics against real libcontext.
- tests/apps/standalone/coroutine-nested/: nested_test.cpp reproduces the
EM_ASYNC_JS-modal + fiber-swap nesting bug in isolation. 8 scenarios
from baseline_modal_alone through nested_fibers_inside_modal.
- tests/e2e/coroutine.spec.ts + coroutine-nested.spec.ts: Playwright specs
that load the standalone apps and assert all case cases pass via
[COROUTINE_TEST] SUMMARY log parsing.
## research/ and features/browser-tools/
Three background docs capturing the investigation trajectory:
- features/browser-tools/0001-kicad-wasm-tool-activation-investigation.md
Early investigation: why tools don't activate; initial dynCall-empty-
callback hypothesis.
- features/browser-tools/0002-wasm-coroutine-deep-dive.md
Deep dive on Asyncify internals, fiber API, QEMU's coroutine-wasm
reference implementation.
- features/browser-tools/0003-wxauitoolbar-registration-fix.md
The narrow fix: why wxAuiToolBar needs a registration block, where to
add it, what the fallback plan is.
- research/threading_1.md: corrected root-cause analysis after reading
runtime logs — nested-Asyncify currData collision, Emscripten #9153.
- research/threading_2.md: extended research on alternative approaches
(JSPI/WasmFX/state-machines) and why they don't help here.
## Submodule pointer updates
kicad: f6e9239aaa (wip: libcontext WASM hygiene cleanup)
wxwidgets: bb80f91e8b (wip: wxAuiToolBar element-registry registration +
dialog diagnostics)
## Open threads not yet in scope
- Firefox/Chrome divergent behavior: "indirect call signature mismatch"
traps in Firefox vs renderer crash in system Chrome (tracked in
plans/peaceful-hugging-pnueli.md and the research docs).
- E2E pixel-diff for Draw Lines fails because the test's diff region does
not cover where the line is actually drawn; tool activation works, the
line is visible in test-results/pcbnew-draw-lines-02-after-drawing.png.
