design-b Phase A: absorb libcontext's wasm backend (doc 22)
Bumps wxwidgets (fiber lane in sched_context.h) and kicad (libcontext's wasm
backend becomes an adapter over it), so there is now ONE party performing
every emscripten_fiber_swap and recording who is on the CPU. Behaviour is
preserved throughout - libcontext still decides, the registry observes and
beacons any disagreement - which is the de-risking step doc 20's D2 never had.

Harness + spec gain three fiber-lane scenarios: a fresh fiber enters at its
entry and a swap suspends the swapper (fiber_roundtrip), releasing a suspended
fiber is legal while a stale id refuses instead of use-after-free
(fiber_release_suspended), and symmetric swaps leave a parked star context
undisturbed (fiber_and_star_coexist). The spec asserts the lane's counters,
including the tripwire that must stay zero: fiberNonEnterableSwaps.

Doc 22 gains the Phase A work log: the gate (kicad suite 139/1, the 1 being the
pre-existing occ-probe glb matrix; wx 346/1/3; batteries 48/48; zero tripwires
anywhere), the four bugs the tripwires caught and the single rule behind three
of them, the grace ring and the 33-coroutine measurement Phase B needs from it,
and the process traps this run paid for.

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features/archive/ holds docs whose work is done or superseded (each carries a status banner):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