fix(editor): a browser refresh reloads the editor instead of bouncing away
Refreshing ANY editor URL navigated to the management app's project overview
instead of reloading. Not related to spaces in paths — verified path-independent
by reproducing it on a fileless `-/pcbnew` route with no file path at all.

Mechanism, from probing the actual ordering rather than reading the code: the wx
port registers its unload handler via emscripten_set_beforeunload_callback,
which lands in the CAPTURE phase and so runs before any bubble-phase listener
regardless of registration order. It closes the top frame -> fires
wxAppTopWindowClosed -> the quit dispatcher -> location.assign(exitUrl), and
that navigation overrode the in-flight reload (the reload itself failed with
NS_ERROR_FAILURE).

The quit hook already latched off for our OWN navigations
(markDeliberateNavigation) and on pagehide — which the existing comment notes
fires too late, at commit time. Nothing covered a browser-INITIATED unload:
reload, Back, closing the tab. This adds that latch, in the capture phase so it
precedes emscripten's handler; a bubble-phase listener registered at module
scope was NOT enough, which the probe showed directly.

Tradeoff, documented at the call site: if a beforeunload prompt appears and the
user stays, the latch remains set and a later File->Quit won't self-navigate.
That is strictly better than a page that cannot be refreshed.

PCBJam Web — standalone editor (GPL)

A self-contained, GPL web app that opens KiCad projects in the WASM tools (pcbnew / eeschema / pl_editor / …) — from a local folder, or from any backend that implements the MIT @pcbjam/shared contract. It opens a tool by URL:

/p/<project>/<tool>/<file-path>      e.g. /p/demo/pcbnew/nyak.kicad_pcb

This workspace contains only the generic editor and a thin reference backend. All project-specific concerns (accounts, project management, uploads, auth) live in the separate closed application, which reuses this editor by hosting it standalone and redirecting to it (it must not link the GPL editor).

Layout

web/
├── standalone/      # @pcbjam/standalone — the GPL editor (Vite + React)
├── backend/         # @pcbjam/backend-example — thin reference @pcbjam/shared impl
└── pcbjam-shared/   # @pcbjam/shared — the FE↔BE contract (git submodule, MIT)
  • Editor: Vite + React + TypeScript. Boots a tool directly in the document (no iframe), syncs the project tree into MEMFS, drives File→Open, and runs same-tab collaboration over BroadcastChannel.
  • Example backend: Fastify + ts-rest serving a single project off the local filesystem (PROJECT_DIR). No DB, no auth, no uploads — the minimum the editor needs, and a worked example of the contract. Listens on :3060. On dev/start it self-provisions example libraries — a curated slice of upstream KiCad symbol + footprint libs is cloned + extracted into .libs (served as read-only origins), so a bare clone has libraries to browse with no closed repo present. See backend/src/extract/.

Quick start

cd web
pnpm install
git submodule update --init web/pcbjam-shared   # if not already populated

cp standalone/.env.example standalone/.env
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env            # PROJECT_DIR=../../tests/fixtures/demo

pnpm dev                                         # turbo: backend :3060 + editor :3048

Open http://localhost:3048 — either open a local folder (no backend needed) or open the backend's project. The editor can point at any conforming backend via VITE_API_BASE_URL.

WASM artifacts

The runtime artifacts (<tool>.js/.wasm, wx.js, images.tar.gz, <tool>.html) are build outputs, not committed. They are synced into tests/apps/kicad/ by tests/scripts/setup-kicad-wasm.sh (from repo-root output/).

They must be served same-origin as the app. Under the document's COEP / cross-origin-isolation (set by the Vite dev server), KiCad WASM refuses to load its glue/wasm from a different origin. pnpm dev runs scripts/link-wasm.mjs, which symlinks standalone/public/wasm → tests/apps/kicad; Vite serves them at /wasm. VITE_WASM_ASSET_BASE_URL defaults to /wasm.

  • Point the symlink elsewhere with WASM_SRC_DIR=/path pnpm --filter @pcbjam/standalone link-wasm.
  • If a tool won't load, the target dir is probably empty — run tests/scripts/setup-kicad-wasm.sh to populate tests/apps/kicad/.
  • prod: point VITE_WASM_ASSET_BASE_URL at a URL whose origin also satisfies the same-origin / COEP constraints.

Contract (@pcbjam/shared, MIT)

The editor reads from a backend over the shared contract: GET /api/projects, GET /api/projects/:project, GET /api/projects/:project/files, and the streamed GET /api/projects/:project/files/* (raw bytes). Management/write operations and ownership are not part of this contract — they belong to the closed app.
