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.

Live-app fix (Place Footprints / routing dead in Chrome): submodule
bumps carry the coroutine ownership fix (kicad 012d95ecb4) and the
handler-exception survival fix (wxwidgets 1b5f0e31f4).
Emscripten-6 fallout:
- occ/ngspice worker wrappers: mainScriptUrlOrBlob was removed
upstream; pthread children re-run the wrapper blob, so an em-pthread
realm now importScripts the glue and gets out of the way (before:
recursive service boots, pool never fills, silent 180s boot hangs —
every occ spec and ngspice bg_run).
- Makefile.wasm: -sASYNCIFY frankenlinks on the no-wx coroutine repro
targets ported to -sJSPI (the JSPI-only libcontext crashed at first
yield under them); mainloop/gl repro pages drive their tick through a
promising export (emscripten_set_main_loop callbacks cannot suspend);
retired inject-dyncall-shims lines removed (targets were unbuildable
since Phase 8); $stringToNewUTF8 force-included (the EM_ASM value
bridge aborted the runtime on the first decoded exception).
- fiber-park levers: neither embind shape can drive suspending levers
(plain throws on strict-JSPI Firefox; emscripten::async() re-executes
its invoker on settle) — kept sync for manual Chromium probing, spec
coverage moved to the jspi-coroutine harness (18 cases).
Suite work:
- Playwright 1.61.1 -> 1.62.1 (Firefox 153: JSPI on by default).
- fiber-resume-park.spec retired -> coroutine-lifecycle.spec: census
gate over boot / board load / chooser open / cancel (deterministically
red on the pre-fix build).
- Blind asyncify-era pins re-keyed: quasimodal-strand + wait-beacons
beacon regexes, footprint-chooser-close liveness -> wx parking-timer
heartbeat (scheduler counters idle flat on Firefox).
- occ/ngspice test providers: 60s boot timeout + worker error
surfacing (a worker death used to be a silent 180s timeout).
- Harness pages: stale 9.99 config dir -> 10.0 (library_manager wxCHECK
noise, chooser had no libraries).
- gal-webgl harness: missing artifacts rebuilt (boost/glm extracted to
the host sysroot), PgmOrNull stub added for the rebased GAL.
- jspi-scheduler: clean-shutdown console line restored (app-quit
contract), quarantine never yanks SP from a live window.
Gates: test:e2e 699 passed / 0 failed (wx-chromium, kicad-firefox,
kicad-chromium, jspi-firefox, coroutine-firefox); web ff/cr/mobile 71
passed; lint:ci-coverage 166, lint:determinism 163, screenshots
manifest 492 current, corpus 7/7, tools:contract green. Offline
screenshot baselines show expected mass drift from the engine bump —
re-baseline (screenshots:noise -> promote) is a follow-up.

THE BUG IS FIXED. tests/kicad/quasimodal-strand.spec.ts flips from a
test.fail() pin to a plain green regression test: 3/3 runs
closed=true dialogs=0 refused-resumes=0 (was closed=false dialogs=1
refused-resumes=1 on every run).
Mechanism: a quasi-modal's nested event loop parked on the TOOL
COROUTINE's stack, which suspends the fiber's body where the fiber layer
cannot see it — so the stale-fiber guard quarantined the fiber and then
refused its own resume, the dispatch guard was never released, and every
click after that was deferred forever. Bouncing the nested loop onto the
main stack leaves the coroutine suspended the legitimate way (a recorded
fiber swap), so nothing is quarantined and nothing is refused.
Layering, so this is not a pile of WASM ifdefs in KiCad:
- wx (3d37db3bf1) owns the POLICY and the hook; it must not know what a
coroutine is.
- wasm/bindings/main_stack_runner.h is the only place that may know both
sides: it finds the frame's TOOL_MANAGER and bounces via RunMainStack.
Header-only and self-installing, so no build-script change; included by
every editor's binding TU.
- KiCad gets ONE ifdef-free method (2c777efede), needed only because
TOOL_STATE is opaque outside TOOL_MANAGER. libcontext and dialog_shim
are untouched — an earlier draft edited both and was reverted.
This also reframes the remaining plan: the doc-19 class is closed WITHOUT
migrating tool coroutines onto scheduler contexts. Note it does not make
the wait a context yield — waits still park in place, just never on a
coroutine stack.

Doc 20 D0 second deliverable (doc 21 §4). tests/kicad/quasimodal-strand.spec.ts
reproduces the Symbol Properties hang on demand, in two parts:
- "staging" (GREEN): double-click the fixture symbol → Symbol Properties
opens → arm the parking timer (wasm/bindings/timer_park.h) WHILE the
dialog is up. Because the opener's fiber park is open-ended, a timer
firing now necessarily parks on top of it — the overlap is structural,
not a won race. Asserts the dialog opened, the timer fired, its OK
button is hittable, and the shim beaconed concurrent contexts. Keeps
the red pin from rotting into vacuity, and fails loudly on its own.
- "doc-19 red" (test.fail()): clicks OK and asserts the desired end state
— dialog closes, zero fiber-resume-refused beacons, wait books balanced
(no unresolved nested/modal wait). Goes green at D3, when Playwright
will report "expected to fail but passed" and the marker comes off.
Verified 6/6 consecutive full-file runs, identical outcome each time:
closed=false dialogs=1 refused-resumes=1 — the doc-19 mechanism exactly
(quarantined fiber's legitimate resume refused, dialog never closes).
Deliberately NOT asserted in staging: the timer park COMPLETING (whether
a park survives the aliasing is the disease under test) and sawParked (a
100ms sampler can miss a short park) — both are reported, not gated.
Retires tests/kicad/dialog-deadlock-probe.spec.ts: the 8/4 throwaway probe
that established the mechanism. This spec supersedes it and, unlike it, is
deterministic (the probe's 3 blind waitForTimeouts were the only
determinism-lint violations in the tree; the guard is now clean).
