feat(eeschema): collab bridge read/emit + build fixes; apply WIP (yjs-bridge commit 3)
eeschema's half of the Yjs collaborative bridge, reusing the generic reconciler /
BroadcastChannel transport unchanged. Zero kicad-fork change: native SCH_ITEM uuid +
native SCHEMATIC_LISTENER. All in the wasm layer (wasm/bindings/eeschema_embind.cpp).

Working (verified in the web app):
- kicadCollabSnapshot(): enumerate sch.Hierarchy() -> LastScreen()->Items() as
  {id,type,x,y}; registers the listener on first call
- emit: SCHEMATIC_LISTENER subclass -> per-item delta via window.kicadCollab.onDelta;
  fires on real SCH_COMMIT::Push (a real wire move broadcasts added/removed/changed)

Apply is a documented follow-up (gated off so a peer tab can't crash): SCH_ITEM::Move
traps with 'indirect call signature mismatch' when invoked outside a KiCad tool
coroutine (Asyncify+fiber+exception-trampoline). Modify/Clone/GetPosition all work;
only the virtual Move write traps. Fix direction: route apply through TOOL_MANAGER.

Also: build-kicad-target.sh now force-relinks when only <app>_embind.cpp changed (the
embind .o isn't a make dep, so new bindings silently vanished), and adds the
expected/rtree/fmt thirdparty includes the eeschema bindings need.

Tests: eeschema-collab.spec.ts covers snapshot (green); apply/two-tab skipped with the
blocker noted. WasmTool gates collab to pl_editor only until eeschema apply works.

KiCad WebAssembly Port

Run KiCad PCBnew in the browser using WebAssembly.

Quick Start

Full Build (KiCad + All Tests)

# 1. Initialize submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

# 2. Build KiCad WASM (Docker, ~10 min incremental, ~1-2 hours full)
./docker/build.sh

# 3. Build wxWidgets for local testing
./scripts/build-wxuniversal-wasm.sh

# 4. Build wxWidgets test apps
./scripts/build-wasm-test.sh

# 5. Run all tests
cd tests && npm install
npm test              # wxWidgets tests (256 tests)
npm run test:kicad    # KiCad tests (2 tests)

wxWidgets Only (No Docker)

# Requires: Node.js 18+ (Emscripten SDK auto-installed on first build)
./scripts/build-wxuniversal-wasm.sh
./scripts/build-wasm-test.sh
cd tests && npm install && npm test

Feature Branches

Curated design docs and research notes for each feature live in docs/features/<branch-name>/ (committed).

./scripts/create-feature-patches.sh [branch-name] generates per-branch patches (root.patch, kicad.patch, wxwidgets.patch) into a local features/<branch-name>/ scratch dir. That dir is gitignored — the patches are local history, not committed.

Two Build Workflows

1. KiCad Build (Docker)

Full KiCad PCBnew build using Docker:

# Build KiCad WASM
./docker/build.sh

# Copy output to test directory
./tests/scripts/setup-kicad-wasm.sh

# Run KiCad tests
cd tests && npm install && npm run test:kicad

Output: output/pcbnew.js, output/pcbnew.wasm

See docs/build.md for detailed build documentation.

2. wxWidgets Test Apps (Local)

Build standalone wxWidgets test apps for feature testing:

# Build wxWidgets for WASM
./scripts/build-wxuniversal-wasm.sh

# Build test apps
./scripts/build-wasm-test.sh

# Run wxWidgets tests
cd tests && npm install && npm test

Output: tests/apps/standalone/

Prerequisites

For KiCad Build (Docker)

  • Docker Desktop with 16GB+ RAM allocated
  • 10+ GB disk space for build cache

For wxWidgets Build (Local)

  • Node.js 18+ (for tests)
  • Emscripten SDK (auto-installed on first build)
# Initialize submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

# Install Emscripten SDK (auto-runs on first build, or run manually)
./scripts/setup-emsdk.sh

Testing

cd tests
npm install

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run specific tests
npm run test:kicad          # KiCad tests only
npx playwright test menu    # Menu tests only

See tests/README.md for test documentation.

Current Status

  • wxWidgets WASM: Core widgets working (menus, dialogs, grids, trees, OpenGL)
  • KiCad PCBnew: Builds and loads in browser, canvas rendering working
  • In Progress: Testing wxWidgets features used by KiCad
