Viktor Vaczi 9c475a804e jspi cleanup: remove the asyncify-era residue — dead code, conditionals, pipeline scaffolding, stale prose 
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.

Documentation Map

A central index of the documentation in this repo. The goal of the project is to build KiCad with WASM and run it in a browser.

Note: per-area README.md files stay next to the code they describe (they're linked below). Cross-cutting guides live under docs/. Per-feature design notes live under features/.

Start here

  • Project README — overview, prerequisites, quick start, project structure
  • CLAUDE.md — project/agent context and contribution conventions

Build

  • docs/build.md — Docker-based KiCad WASM build system (single-phase build, outputs, memory)
  • docker/README.md — Docker build environment, branch-specific containers, troubleshooting
  • wasm/README.md — WASM compatibility layer (overrides/shims without patching KiCad)

Debugging & WASM runtime

Architecture

  • wasm/README.md — WASM compatibility layer structure
  • web/README.md — web app (create/open KiCad projects), tech stack, URL routing, WASM artifact serving

Testing

Feature design docs

Per-feature design notes and porting records live under features/:

Archived / historical

features/archive/ holds docs whose work is done or superseded (each carries a status banner):

  • webgl — WebGL-GAL strategy/plan (since implemented in kicad/common/gal/webgl/)
  • ipc-api — IPC-API guard cleanup TODO (revert not yet actioned)
