84a40d4492The prod differential ladder finished: staged byte VOLUME on a warm load is the only trigger left (V1a siblings-without-lib-tables dies, V1b +120 files survives, V1c sibling KiCad files renamed byte-for-byte dies, V1d Leonardo + 123MB of inert markdown dies on loads 3-4; 14MB never dies). 3D models, collab/ydoc/presence, lib tables, sibling KiCad handling and file count are all exonerated — volume only loads the dice on the underlying race. That made the crash reproducible locally for the first time in six campaigns: a persistent browser profile + a 110MB project fails every warm load with the exact prod signature. Iteration is now ~12 minutes instead of a release cycle. Shim: every fiber switch now records the departing side's remaining asyncify buffer and its recorded rewind entry (rem=/rf=), which is what identified the unrewindable capture and disproved buffer overflow. The deferral family is closed for good — a microtask-deferred retry on a clean empty stack died identically to the nested rewind, because the suspension is broken at write time, not by nesting. Shell: log the origin stack when wx reports the top window destroyed. That notification fires from ~wxTopLevelWindowWasm for ANY top-level window, so a transient frame dying mid-load navigates the user out of the editor — a real bug in its own right, found while chasing the empty flight-recorder dumps.

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.mdfiles stay next to the code they describe (they're linked below). Cross-cutting guides live underdocs/. Per-feature design notes live underfeatures/.
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
- docs/debugging/DEBUG.md — debugging guide: Asyncify stalls vs crashes, shim/codegen coupling, stub-bisection
- docs/debugging/learning.md — Asyncify + consecutive modal dialogs: the lock pattern
- docs/research/threading_1.md — deep dive: the Asyncify single-slot
currDatacollision bug and the fix - docs/research/threading_2.md — external research: JSPI/WasmFX/state-machine alternatives, QEMU analysis
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
- tests/README.md — Playwright test infrastructure, element registry, logs, screenshots
- tests/WHATWORKS.md — wxWidgets-in-WASM feature coverage matrix and KiCad readiness
- tests/GL_README.md — Emscripten legacy GL immediate-mode quirks (color-per-vertex)
- tests/gal-regression/README.md — GAL visual regression suite (native OpenGL vs WebGL WASM)
Feature design docs
Per-feature design notes and porting records live under features/:
- web-init — web app spec
- schematic — eeschema WASM bring-up
- symbol-editor — symbol editor (eeschema kiface launcher)
- gerbview — Gerber viewer port
- pl-editor — page-layout editor port (incl. file-dialog usability fixes)
- browser-tools — tool-activation / coroutine deep dives
- fix-asyncify-O2-and-modal-promise-rejection — RTree wasm overflow bug investigation
