The runtime is JSPI-only; this removes everything that still pretended
otherwise. Three exhaustive sweeps (C++/JS+build+CI/tests+docs) drove
the inventory; every deletion verified by grep closure + full gates.
Broken-right-now fixes:
- deploy-staging.yml passed the retired opt_level input — the workflow
could not even start. Removed.
- env.sh carried dead exports with a live -sASYNCIFY=1 inside
(WASM_LDFLAGS/PTHREAD_LDFLAGS, zero consumers). Removed; the
WASM_LEGACY_EXCEPTIONS rationale rewritten to the real reason.
- docker/build.sh exported PCBJAM_ASYNC_BACKEND (read nowhere). Gone.
Dead weight removed:
- binaryen submodule (nothing builds or invokes it), wasm-opt-bench
workflow + scripts/bench/, get-wasm-opt.sh, diagnostics.js (242 lines
of Asyncify-API-only code), the KICAD_PIPELINE background-postprocess
scaffolding (existed to parallelize the deleted wasm-opt phase; the
postprocess is a seconds-long node script and now runs inline),
build-monitor's dead asyncify rows, sched-context orphan build
output, dead .gitignore entries, the .jspi-assets spike dir (the two
wf-result research JSONs moved to docs/features/async/migration-evidence/).
- bindings: fiber_park.h + its 12 embind registrations (broken-if-
called under JSPI), the kicadOpenFileStart/OPEN_JOB starter route,
main_stack_runner.h + 5 includes, the always-null context-sleep weak
hook in nanosleep_yield.c.
- shim: the backend field (installed-flag idempotency instead),
noteContextWait (dead both sides), the __wxAsyncifyDump alias (+ the
WasmTool fallback and string-dump normalize branch).
- web: the emscripten-6-ignored mainScriptUrlOrBlob option in boot.ts
(gerber-demo keeps it: it loads the deployed CDN release, which
predates emscripten 6 — noted inline).
Conditionals: all 'backend === jspi' checks reduced to scheduler-
presence checks; races_quiescent re-keyed from Asyncify.state (vacuous)
to real backlog quiescence (resumeReady/mutatorQueue — NOT _windowLive,
which is the probing activation's own window by definition).
Renames (identifiers only, no file renames): ASYNC_LINK_FLAGS→
JSPI_LINK_FLAGS and Makefile ASYNC_LDFLAGS→JSPI_LDFLAGS,
kicadCollabFiberBusy→kicadCollabBusy (embind + web + tests),
collab_common.h fiber*→apply*/coroutine naming, asyncifySignatures→
wasmTrapSignatures (lists byte-identical).
Tests: the two remaining vacuous [wx-asyncify]/fiber-resume-refused
asserts re-keyed to live JSPI beacons; eeschema-load's failure message
no longer sends the developer to a deleted script; wait-beacons' dead
families/parser deleted; lane-0 legacy-glue guards removed (lane 0 is
unconstructible); the embind test.fail re-gated with the JSPI reason
(plain embind invokers cannot suspend — verified still failing);
lint-determinism now scans tests/jspi (166 files clean);
eeschema-collab local-move gated to chromium (~50% flaky on FF even
solo; pcbnew twin covers both engines).
Docs: DEBUG.md rewritten as the JSPI debugging guide; build.md
describes the single-phase build; docs/features/async/README.md
banner-marked historical and repointed at the NEW
23-jspi-runtime.md (current architecture: export census, turnstile,
libcontext ownership + refusal contract, embind call shapes, the
em-pthread service-wrapper trick, exception policy, known gaps).
Gates on the cleaned tree: test:e2e 725 passed / 0 failed (after the
quiescence-probe fix; the 3 other reds were verified contention flakes
solo-green or the documented FF gate), web 76/0, jspi 18/18 both
engines, vitest 295/295 + 17/17, all lints green, live-app census
clean.

Doc 20 gets a status table instead of a narrative: D-1/D0/D1 done, D2
reverted, D3's goal met but its MEANS skipped (waits still park in
place — only the stack they park on changed), D4/D5/D6 not started. Plus
an explicit "what was skipped and is still owed" list, so nothing quietly
reads as delivered: dispatch contexts, waits-as-yields, bridges,
real-park-site buffer sizing, the both-EH CI matrix.
Doc 22 is the handoff plan a fresh session can implement from:
- the bug it targets is the BLUE SCREEN (a context recovered twice or by
the wrong fiber), not doc 19's hang, which is fixed and was only one
ingredient;
- the diagnosis that matters: bookkeeping is already centralised
(currData is single-writer, the shim sees every swap) but the DECISION
is not — libcontext decides swaps and never tells anyone, so three
layers each invented heuristics. Centralising means moving the
decision;
- why D2/D3 knotted, with the measurements, so nobody retries that order;
- phases A-F with estimates (~4-6 wk): A absorbs libcontext behaviour-
preservingly and is landable ALONE (the de-risking step D2 never had),
B+C+D must land as one commit, E bridges, F deletes the guards only
once they are provably silent;
- gates including the crash's own repro, since the batteries never
reproduced it and therefore cannot certify it;
- the traps this run paid for: 16-byte fiber stack alignment, the
per-fiber stack-limits gotcha, host-side asyncify buffers, the
stack-ownership rule, partial migration, and the gitignored-artifact
triage trick;
- measured build/test cycle costs, so the estimates are grounded.
README: index rows for 21 and 22, doc 19 marked FIXED, and the stale
2026-06 "single decisive next step" folded away behind the current one.

Doc 20: the remaining core of Design B, scoped against what S0-S6 built
and motivated by the doc-19 hang. Core rule: nothing parks in place —
every suspendable activity yields its own context, so a context's state
is authoritative and the guessing layer (quarantine, consume-once,
libcontext refusals, dispatch interlock) gets deleted rather than
tuned. Phases D0-D6 with gates, 6-10 wk; memory/partial-migration/
pthread risks called out; index updated.

Doc 17: Design B phasing revised with the July-August guard record.
Test inventory with per-test fate (keep / rewrite / retire / new),
steps S0-S6 with gates and rollback, ~5-7 wk.

Submodule pointer bump for the wxMenuBar dangling-child fix that resolved the 18 DOM-port kicad e2e failures. Also adds the async-debug dossier (docs/features/async/08-10) root-causing the 'indirect call to null' / 'signature mismatch' family to the menu-bar use-after-free, and folds the asyncify harness into 'npm test' (new test:wx for wx-only); tests/README + WHATWORKS updated to match.

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.

Two research dossiers under docs/features:
- async/: Asyncify currData contention — the clipboard crash and post-idle
tool hang as one disease (single global suspension slot, three producers),
asyncify internals walkthroughs, prior art, arbiter designs A/B.
- wasm-exceptions/: -fexceptions vs -fwasm-exceptions — measured invoke-driven
share of the asyncify tax on pcbnew (59% raw / 64% gzip; download 64.5->36 MB
if migrated), KiCad dialog-in-catch audit (85 direct / 93 review of 636,
catch_audit.py included), binaryen toolchain status (partial EH support since
v125; TryTable unsupported), and a catch-arm-hoisting pre-pass design that
would obsolete the KiCad-side refactor. Cross-linked with the parked
KICAD_WASM_EH end-to-end experiment (docs/wasm-exceptions-experiment.md).
