Make the Playwright e2e + kicad suites deterministic so screenshot flake stops
tracing to timing races.
- Blind page.waitForTimeout -> condition waits (expect.poll, web-first
assertions, waitUntil) + readiness helpers (waitForWxApp, waitForCanvasApp).
Remaining sleeps are documented interaction dwells (annotated).
- Defensive "if element exists" branches -> loud asserts; label-fallback chains
-> normalized clickMenuItemByText. First-run wizard for/if loops removed by
seeding calculator/gerbview/pcbnew HTMLs.
- Screenshots: new stableShot(page, name) settles the render in-page (canvas
hash over rAF) then writes a raw PNG to test-results/ for the existing offline
gate (tools/screenshots vs baseline-screenshots). Replaces toHaveScreenshot,
which did inline compare + its own baselines and had decoupled the specs from
the real gate. scale:'css' pinned.
- retries: 0 in both configs.
- Guard: tests/tools/lint-determinism.ts (npm run lint:determinism) bans blind
sleeps / toHaveScreenshot / inline retries / swallowed catches in specs;
documented exceptions carry a marker. Rules in tests/TESTING.md.
Assertions, coverage, and renders unchanged (semantic-equivalence reviewed;
captures pixel-identical modulo inherent timer/timestamp/3d-raytrace variance).
Both suites green at retries:0 (e2e 340, kicad 92); ~35-61% faster.

- 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).
