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.

Squash of experiment/ff-big-modules vs main.
Big-module routing removed: native-EH shrank kicad_editor below
SpiderMonkey's x86-64 code budget (runs 29355049705/29356152413 green on
stock Firefox), so BIG_MODULE_SPECS routing and the baseline-only-JIT
crutch are gone — kicad-firefox and kicad-chromium both run the full
suite, with the module compiled the way real users' browsers compile it.
Per-engine screenshots end to end: stableShot/shotPath write
test-results/<engine>/<name>.png; baselines move to
baseline-screenshots/{chromium,firefox}/ and the whole tools/screenshots
pipeline (compare/promote/manifest/spec-map/changelog/Discord) keys on
<engine>/<name>. Previously Firefox and Chromium renders of one spec
overwrote each other and Firefox renders were never actually gated.
Seeded from CI run 29421380806 (92 new firefox baselines, +24 chromium
web-suite shots); manifest generated from the baseline tree.
One merged playwright.config.ts (kicad/asyncify/coroutine/perf as
projects); ~25 dead npm scripts dropped. The web suite is gated in CI for
the first time ever (4 rotted specs fixed, 5 broken lib-bridge specs
triaged as fixme in docs/features/web-e2e-rot/); cheap lint step after
npm ci; last 26 blind-sleep violations fixed.
SwiftShader retired: CI Chromium renders WebGL on ANGLE → Mesa llvmpipe
(--use-gl=angle --use-angle=gl --ignore-gpu-blocklist; the blocklist flag
is mandatory — llvmpipe is blocklisted and WebGL is silently unavailable
without it) in BOTH configs. Under WORKERS=4 congestion SwiftShader
transiently failed the first post-board-load draw and the recovery
cascade ended in a silent permanent Cairo fallback — that engine flip was
the "~1.2% changedRatio both directions" occ-export baseline flake.
Validated 160/160 across two 80-repeat rigs; full analysis in
docs/features/wx-parity-bugs/occ-export-context-eviction.md. Chromium
baselines shift slightly on llvmpipe — promote once from the first green
run. Deflakes the new coverage exposed: presence baselines settle before
capture; presence fixtures declare current file formats; perf gets its
own outputDir so CI evidence survives; occ-export settles the board paint
before the export dialog; menu-item waits (waitForRenderedByLabel before
clickMenuItem) in 4 specs + the TESTING.md rule.
Web suite runs the PROD build, in parallel: webServer becomes backend
`start` + the standalone's e2e:preview (build-preview.mjs: link-wasm →
stash the public/wasm symlink aside during vite build, build-demo.mjs's
move — then vite preview as the persistent server). The wasm middleware
serves /wasm/* in preview and emits COOP/COEP/CORP itself (a pthread
worker script's own response must carry COEP or Chrome kills it with
ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE). VITE_* flags bake at build time;
VITE_ALLOW_USER_OVERRIDE joins turbo globalEnv. fullyParallel + default
workers: 5.2m → 1.4m. Determinism fixes the parallel run exposed:
shared-page specs become serial groups; locks.spec grabs alice's exact
item via the new kicadCollabTestSelectByUuid hook (cross-tab "first
footprint" order is not a ysync invariant); quit specs poll page.url()
(quit supersedes its own navigation — NS_BINDING_ABORTED on Firefox).
Suite: 51 passed / 12 skipped / 0 failed in 1.6m.
CI-coverage gate (lint:ci-coverage): every tests/**/*.spec.ts must be
reachable from the npm scripts the workflows invoke — scraped from
.github/workflows/, resolved through package.json, coverage asked from
playwright --list itself. Rules: uncovered-spec + orphan-project (with a
documented LOCAL_ONLY_PROJECTS allowlist). Gating next to
lint:determinism; 138 spec files / 13 projects accounted for.
Product fixes kept from the investigations (reachable on real GPUs too):
wx 7799fd1be5 — paint flags clear before dispatch + Invalidate always
propagates; kicad 3dcfea5e45 — SwiftShader pass-boundary flush +
per-instance font texture + first-frame GL-error drain (GAL recovery
recovers instead of falling back to Cairo) + the user-facing eeschema
switch navigates again under __EMSCRIPTEN__ (project-sync's
FaceRegistered gate had rerouted it into the hidden sync player; caught
by the newly-gated web suite).

The determinism conversion silently dropped/renamed screenshots vs the committed
baselines, so CI flagged ~35 baselines as "removed". Restore them:
- pl_editor-*: re-add the "pl_editor-" prefix the conversion dropped (5).
- Buffer screenshots that lost their path: (eeschema draw-wires/loaded-css,
pcbnew draw-lines/loaded-css, pcbnew-move, dark-mode, eeschema-crosshair,
aui-resize) re-add path:'test-results/<name>' so they SAVE and still feed the
in-test pixel-diff analysis (17).
- Dropped animating/loading captures re-added via stableShot / raw screenshot:
timer-03/05/06, dialogs-timer-running/started, wxgrid-02/03, 01-loading (7).
Delete 5 obsolete wizard baselines (eeschema/gerbview/pl_editor/symbol_editor/
generic -wizard-00-initial): every app is now seeded to bypass the first-run
setup wizard (that was the point of removing the wizard for/if loop), so those
states are no longer produced — pl_editor.spec asserts "no wizard appears"
instead.
Net: every committed baseline has a producer again (0 "removed"); determinism
guard green; affected specs pass (e2e 40, kicad 12) and emit the restored PNGs.

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.

New tooling in tests/tools/screenshots/ (TypeScript via tsx):
- compare.ts: one pixelmatch engine (AA-excluded), connected-component
"where to look" boxes, old|new+boxes|heatmap triptych, per-engine floors.
- promote.ts: churn-free updater — overwrite a baseline only when decoded
pixels differ beyond the floor, copying CI bytes verbatim (no re-encode
churn); pulls a CI run via `gh run download` or a local --from dir.
- post-discord.ts: always-on CI-on-main report (SHA + e2e status + the
track-only runtime-perf table), then screenshot triptychs, batched +
size-capped + flood-collapsed + 429-aware.
- perf-report.ts: perf table with Δ vs the previous main run (via gh).
- changelog.ts: no-build git-history baseline differ (Discord trigger B).
- noise.ts / gen-manifest.ts: calibration + manifest generation.
CI wiring:
- wasm-build.yml: post-test step runs the gate + report on the already-
produced test-results (no extra build); report-only (continue-on-error),
posts only on push to main, inert without DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL.
- ci-ubicloud.yml: secrets: inherit (pass the webhook through).
- screenshot-changelog.yml: ~30s no-build changelog on baseline changes.
screenshot-manifest.json: canonical 354-name set + best-effort engine tags
(313 chromium-swiftshader / 41 firefox-llvmpipe).
Normalize scale:'device'->'css' across 18 spec files (no-op at CI DSF=1)
so committed baselines are uniformly css-scaled.
Design: CI's Linux render is the single source of truth; no pinned
container (accept rare env drift -> re-promote); dev commits via promote.
Replaces the byte-cmp compare-screenshots.sh + file-size-proxy
update-baseline-screenshots.sh (kept for now until the first re-baseline).

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.

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.
