fix(async): the board-load crash, cured at the dispatch site
Picks up the wxwidgets fix (main loop schedules its events into a fresh JS
task instead of dispatching them inside its own Asyncify wake continuation)
and documents the whole round in docs/features/async/16.

Local verification on the warm-load repro built yesterday — the case that
failed every warm load on every build since v0.1.12: 3/3 loads settle with a
fully rendered Leonardo board, rootHotTotal=0 (it was exactly 1 at every
death), fcsTotal=72, no traps. Full kicad e2e: 136 passed, 1 failed, and that
one (occ-probe's GLB format) fails identically on a build without this change
— a pre-existing OCC build-flag issue, tracked separately.

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features/archive/ holds docs whose work is done or superseded (each carries a status banner):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