design-b D0: park-site audit (doc 21)
Doc 20 D0 first deliverable: every Asyncify park site post-D-1,
classified by whose stack it suspends (tool fiber / entry stack / main
loop) with a routing decision per site — 14 production sites (8 wx, 9
KiCad/bridge counting quartets/pairs) + 3 deliberate test levers.
W1 (wxWasmYieldUntilJs) and W3 (popup) route to D3 context yields;
the clipboard/font/lib/3D/occ/ngspice/nanosleep bridges route to D4;
W2 (per-frame yield) stays safe-by-construction unless D5 is taken.
Also settles doc 20 risk 4 (pthreads): all parks are main-thread only;
the lib bridge's pthread path is blocking-proxy, not Asyncify, and is
out of migration scope. Defines what D4's "no handleSleep on a fiber
stack" assertion must cover.

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features/archive/ holds docs whose work is done or superseded (each carries a status banner):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