Phase 8 in the parent repo. Deleted: asyncify-scheduler.js, apply-asyncify.sh, apply-finalize.sh, inject-dyncall-shims.sh, asyncify-imports/removelist.txt, the wasm-opt/finalize stub pair, scripts/binaryen-hoist-pass/ (the fork stays a dormant submodule; removal is a follow-up), bench/wasm-opt-bench.sh (README marked historical), wasm/shims/context_sleep.cpp, and the sched-context harness app + Makefile targets. PCBJAM_ASYNC_BACKEND is gone: build-wx-wasm.sh hardcodes the jspi stamp (still force-cleans pre-migration trees), build-kicad-target.sh gives editors the JSPI link surface and the CLIs nothing (they pin ASYNCIFY=0), the stub dance is replaced by an unconditional .real-restore, build-wasm-test.sh lost its whole post-link loop, docker/build.sh's postprocess is the ENV shim only, and Makefile.wasm links every app JSPI with the scheduler shim as a tracked prerequisite. pcbjam_async_policy.h keys on __EMSCRIPTEN__. jspi-scheduler.js: wxWasmMainLoopPump dropped from the wrap census (the export died with the D5 detach); inert [TRACE] instrumentation removed. CI: wasm-build.yml rewritten for the single-cache pipeline (one output cache keyed on compile inputs; post-processed bytes cached after the shim); opt_level input removed from both callers. wasm-cache-hash.mjs inputs now cover patch-env-shim.mjs + jspi-scheduler.js + jspi-exports.txt.

Docker Build Environment for KiCad WASM
This directory contains Docker configuration for building KiCad for WebAssembly in a reproducible, isolated environment.
Prerequisites
- Docker Desktop (with Docker Compose v2)
- Git submodules initialized:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Quick Start
# Build KiCad WASM (full build)
./docker/build.sh
# Build with options
./docker/build.sh --no-clean # Skip cleaning build directory
./docker/build.sh --debug # Build with debug symbols
# Interactive shell for debugging
./docker/shell.sh
Branch-Specific Builds
Each git branch gets isolated Docker containers and volumes, enabling parallel development:
# On branch 'main' → containers/volumes prefixed with 'kicad-wasm-main'
# On branch 'feature-x' → containers/volumes prefixed with 'kicad-wasm-feature-x'
This allows you to:
- Work on multiple branches simultaneously using git worktrees
- Each worktree has its own build cache (no conflicts)
- Switch branches without rebuilding from scratch
Using git worktrees for parallel development:
# Create a worktree for a new branch
git worktree add ../kicad-wasm-feature path/to/branch
# Build in the worktree (uses isolated Docker volumes)
cd ../kicad-wasm-feature
./docker/build.sh
# List all worktrees
git worktree list
What Gets Built
The build process includes:
-
Dependencies (cached in Docker volume):
- GLM (header-only)
- Zstd, Protobuf
- FreeType, HarfBuzz
- Pixman, Cairo
- Boost (Locale)
- OpenCASCADE (optional, for 3D/STEP)
- CURL headers, libgit2 headers (stubs)
-
wxWidgets (built from submodule)
-
KiCad PCBnew (main application)
Container Resources
Configured for M4 Max (adjust in docker-compose.yml):
- CPUs: 10 cores
- Memory: 16GB
Volume Strategy
| Path | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
/workspace |
Bind mount | Source code |
/workspace/build-wasm |
Named volume | Build cache (deps, sysroot) |
/workspace/output |
Bind mount | Final WASM output |
Common Commands
# Start container
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
# Run a command inside
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml exec kicad-wasm-builder <command>
# View logs
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml logs -f
# Stop container
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down
# Clear build cache (full rebuild)
docker volume rm docker_kicad-build-cache
Troubleshooting
Build freezes
The OpenCASCADE build is very resource-intensive. If it freezes:
- Reduce parallel jobs: Edit script to use
-j4instead of-j$(nproc) - Monitor with
docker stats - Consider building OpenCASCADE separately with
./scripts/deps/build-opencascade.sh
Permission issues
Files created in container are owned by root. To fix:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) output/
Cache issues
# Clear all cached builds
docker volume rm docker_kicad-build-cache
# Or clear specific stamps inside container
./docker/shell.sh
rm /workspace/build-wasm/stamps/*.stamp
