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.

- 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.
