The runtime is JSPI-only; this removes everything that still pretended otherwise. Three exhaustive sweeps (C++/JS+build+CI/tests+docs) drove the inventory; every deletion verified by grep closure + full gates. Broken-right-now fixes: - deploy-staging.yml passed the retired opt_level input — the workflow could not even start. Removed. - env.sh carried dead exports with a live -sASYNCIFY=1 inside (WASM_LDFLAGS/PTHREAD_LDFLAGS, zero consumers). Removed; the WASM_LEGACY_EXCEPTIONS rationale rewritten to the real reason. - docker/build.sh exported PCBJAM_ASYNC_BACKEND (read nowhere). Gone. Dead weight removed: - binaryen submodule (nothing builds or invokes it), wasm-opt-bench workflow + scripts/bench/, get-wasm-opt.sh, diagnostics.js (242 lines of Asyncify-API-only code), the KICAD_PIPELINE background-postprocess scaffolding (existed to parallelize the deleted wasm-opt phase; the postprocess is a seconds-long node script and now runs inline), build-monitor's dead asyncify rows, sched-context orphan build output, dead .gitignore entries, the .jspi-assets spike dir (the two wf-result research JSONs moved to docs/features/async/migration-evidence/). - bindings: fiber_park.h + its 12 embind registrations (broken-if- called under JSPI), the kicadOpenFileStart/OPEN_JOB starter route, main_stack_runner.h + 5 includes, the always-null context-sleep weak hook in nanosleep_yield.c. - shim: the backend field (installed-flag idempotency instead), noteContextWait (dead both sides), the __wxAsyncifyDump alias (+ the WasmTool fallback and string-dump normalize branch). - web: the emscripten-6-ignored mainScriptUrlOrBlob option in boot.ts (gerber-demo keeps it: it loads the deployed CDN release, which predates emscripten 6 — noted inline). Conditionals: all 'backend === jspi' checks reduced to scheduler- presence checks; races_quiescent re-keyed from Asyncify.state (vacuous) to real backlog quiescence (resumeReady/mutatorQueue — NOT _windowLive, which is the probing activation's own window by definition). Renames (identifiers only, no file renames): ASYNC_LINK_FLAGS→ JSPI_LINK_FLAGS and Makefile ASYNC_LDFLAGS→JSPI_LDFLAGS, kicadCollabFiberBusy→kicadCollabBusy (embind + web + tests), collab_common.h fiber*→apply*/coroutine naming, asyncifySignatures→ wasmTrapSignatures (lists byte-identical). Tests: the two remaining vacuous [wx-asyncify]/fiber-resume-refused asserts re-keyed to live JSPI beacons; eeschema-load's failure message no longer sends the developer to a deleted script; wait-beacons' dead families/parser deleted; lane-0 legacy-glue guards removed (lane 0 is unconstructible); the embind test.fail re-gated with the JSPI reason (plain embind invokers cannot suspend — verified still failing); lint-determinism now scans tests/jspi (166 files clean); eeschema-collab local-move gated to chromium (~50% flaky on FF even solo; pcbnew twin covers both engines). Docs: DEBUG.md rewritten as the JSPI debugging guide; build.md describes the single-phase build; docs/features/async/README.md banner-marked historical and repointed at the NEW 23-jspi-runtime.md (current architecture: export census, turnstile, libcontext ownership + refusal contract, embind call shapes, the em-pthread service-wrapper trick, exception policy, known gaps). Gates on the cleaned tree: test:e2e 725 passed / 0 failed (after the quiescence-probe fix; the 3 other reds were verified contention flakes solo-green or the documented FF gate), web 76/0, jspi 18/18 both engines, vitest 295/295 + 17/17, all lints green, live-app census clean.

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
