Viktor Vaczi 14ca16cbd3 test(asyncify): red-green race harness + ablation flags, unwind-catch shim, spec tightening, decisions docs
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.

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 (two-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 & Asyncify

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)
