MISSION: push the FreeCAD->WebAssembly port from its current state toward the ~80% browser-parity ceiling in one coordinated effort. You are ONE agent in a parallel swarm; do ONLY your assigned slice and return a precise spec the integrator will apply. The integrator (main loop) owns the single shared FreeCAD cmake reconfigure + ninja build + link; YOU DO NOT run the FreeCAD build.
TOOLCHAIN / ENV: run `source /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/env.sh` first (sets emsdk 4.0.12 + EM_CONFIG + the libclang-21->22 shim). Tools: emcc/em++/emar/emnm, host swig 4.4.1, host python 3.14, cmake, ninja. Constraints: emscripten single-thread (NO pthreads, QT_FEATURE_thread=-1), NO dlopen (static inittab), NO subprocess/QProcess, ASYNCIFY + JS-exceptions, static CPython 3.14 + Qt 6.11.1 asyncify + OCCT + Coin3D. `-lidbfs.js` is ALREADY in the link options.
PATHS:
- FreeCAD source (git repo, branch wasm-parity-push): /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/freecad-port/FreeCAD (src/Mod/<WB>, src/Gui, src/App, src/3rdParty, src/Main/CMakeLists.txt)
- wasm build tree: /opt/toolchains/src/freecad-gui-build (CMakeCache.txt, build.ninja) — READ ONLY for you; do not build here.
- deploy: /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/freecad-port/deploy (index.html, boot.py, *.data). Working M3 build is backed up in deploy-m3-backup/.
- pyside-port build dir for sublib archives: /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/pyside-port/build/<name>
- Qt asyncify wasm: /opt/toolchains/qt-asyncify/6.11.1/wasm_singlethread ; python-wasm: /opt/toolchains/python-wasm (include/python3.14, lib) ; ICU: /opt/toolchains/icu-wasm
HOW MODULES GET ENABLED (the proven pipeline — return these as DATA, do not edit the shared files yourself except your own module's source):
1. Cache flag: BUILD_<WB>=ON (cmake -D). Enabling it makes src/Mod/<WB>/CMakeLists build the <WB> and <WB>Gui STATIC libs (top-level CMakeLists.txt:91-107 rewrites SHARED/MODULE->STATIC under EMSCRIPTEN). In-tree 3rdParty deps (libE57Format, OndselSolver, libarea, Coin) build within this same tree when their consuming module is enabled.
2. inittab + link: the integrator adds a block to src/Main/CMakeLists.txt of the form
if(BUILD_MESH)
list(APPEND FREECAD_WASM_PY_MODULES Mesh)
list(APPEND FREECAD_WASM_PY_GUI_MODULES MeshGui)
endif()
FREECAD_WASM_PY_MODULES entries are BOTH registered in the inittab (PyImport_AppendInittab("<name>", PyInit_<name>)) AND linked. Some modules build "_<Name>.a" and register the dotted/underscore name (e.g. PartDesign target -> _PartDesign, PartDesign/__init__.py does 'import _PartDesign'). Determine the exact PyInit symbol + registered name for YOUR module by reading its App/Gui CMakeLists (OUTPUT_NAME / target name) and its Init.py/__init__.py import.
3. External prebuilt archives (only pivy._coin) go in FREECAD_WASM_EXTRA_LINK_LIBS (a -Wl,--start-group;...;-Wl,--end-group list) + an inittab entry via FREECAD_WASM_EXTRA_PY_MODULES ("RegName=CInitSuffix", e.g. "PySide6.QtCore=QtCore").
4. Python trees: modules ship a Python workbench tree (src/Mod/<WB>/*.py, InitGui.py) that must be packaged onto the wasm FS at /freecad/Mod/<WB> via emscripten file_packager into a supplementary .data loaded by index.html. List the tree path + mount; the integrator packs it.
Current live inittab modules: Import,ImportGui,Materials,MatGui,Measure,MeasureGui,Part,PartGui,_PartDesign,PartDesignGui,Sketcher,SketcherGui,Spreadsheet,SpreadsheetGui,StartGui,Surface,SurfaceGui + PySide6.QtCore/QtGui/QtWidgets=QtCore/QtGui/QtWidgets + shiboken6.Shiboken=Shiboken.
Current FREECAD_WASM_EXTRA_PY_MODULES: "shiboken6.Shiboken=Shiboken;PySide6.QtCore=QtCore;PySide6.QtGui=QtGui;PySide6.QtWidgets=QtWidgets".
SINGLE-THREAD PATCHING: QtConcurrent/QThreadPool/std::async/std::thread do not work under QT_FEATURE_thread=-1. Convert to synchronous: QtConcurrent::blockingMapped(seq,fn)->serial std::transform; QtConcurrent::mapped -> serial loop; QtConcurrent::run(fn)+QFutureWatcher -> call fn() inline then invoke the finished handler directly. Preserve behavior. Patch ONLY your module's own source files (disjoint from other agents). Cite exact file:line.
RETURN A PRECISE SPEC. Be concrete and evidence-based (grep/read the real files). Do NOT run the FreeCAD reconfigure/ninja. Apply source patches (Edit) only within your assigned files.
YOUR SLICE — enable the Points workbench (Tier 1). Read src/Mod/Points/{App,Gui}/CMakeLists.txt (links in-tree src/3rdParty/libE57Format which is already configured in the wasm build tree; needs XercesC=built + a Threads stub). Patch any QtConcurrent::blockingMap in Points.cpp (~line 96/109) and Properties.cpp (~391) to serial. Check libE57Format's Threads dependency and note if an emscripten -pthread stub or CMake THREADS override is needed (return as a build note, don't fix the build). Determine Points/PointsGui registration + Python tree. Return spec. Enables asc/pcd/ply now, E57 if libE57Format builds.

I need to verify that `<algorithm>` is included for the `std::for_each` function and check both files to make sure there's no other threading involved.

Fable

I need to add the `<algorithm>` header to Points.cpp since it uses std::for_each, placing it after the QtConcurrentMap include on line 25. I should also verify that libE57Format has the necessary thread support configured and check its Threads and XercesC dependencies in the build tree.

XercesC is already available in the build tree at version 3.2.5, and the in-tree libE57Format is being used since FREECAD_USE_EXTERNAL_E57FORMAT is off. I'm checking whether find_package(Threads) will work under emscripten's single-threaded environment, since libE57Format requires it and emscripten only provides a pthread stub.

Fable
thinking
CMAKE_HAVE_LIBC_PTHREAD is already set in the build tree since emscripten's libc provides pthread stubs, so the Threads dependency will resolve without issues even though E57Format doesn't actually use std::thread. I'm checking whether E57Format links against Threads::Threads directly, and it looks like only XercesC::XercesC is being linked.
Now I need to add the `<algorithm>` header to Points.cpp since std::for_each requires it — I'll include it directly to be safe rather than relying on transitive includes from Boost or the precompiled header.
Fable
Add `<algorithm>` include to Points.cpp for std::for_each.

I'm checking how the Points and PointsGui modules register themselves through the Init.py and InitGui.py files, specifically verifying that they build static libraries with the correct output names and that the Python module registration matches the registered names. Looking at the import structure, Init.py only imports FreeCAD directly without importing _Points, so I need to trace through the inittab registration and the App library to understand how the module gets loaded.

I'm tracing through how the Python Points module integrates with the C++ side—the init.py registers import/export handlers through the Points module, which needs to provide `open` and `insert` functions that the C++ addImportType handler will call. Let me verify those functions are actually defined in AppPointsPy.cpp and check the Python prefix setup.

Fable

I've confirmed the dependencies: E57Reader is in PointsAlgos and relies on libE57Format, which needs XercesC and thread support, while the other formats like asc, pcd, and ply are self-contained C++ implementations. Now I'm ready to build out the StructuredOutput with the module registrations.
For the CMake configuration, I need to register both the Points module and PointsGui, then set BUILD_POINTS to ON. The Python tree maps src/Mod/Points to /freecad/Mod/Points with the initialization files and point commands included.
For the probe, I'm creating a simple test that instantiates a Points.Points object, adds a couple of points to it, and verifies the count matches what we expect.

I'm testing the Points class by creating an instance, adding a pair of 3D coordinates, and verifying the count matches what's expected. Now I have what I need to write out the structured output, starting with the tier classification and the source path for the Python trees component.
The workbench needs Init.py, InitGui.py, and the pointscommands directory deployed to /freecad/Mod/Points at runtime, which come from src/Mod/Points in the source tree. The build process copies these scripts flat during the resource copy step. The Resources like icons and translations get compiled directly into the PointsGui library via Qt's resource system, so they don't need separate packaging. That covers ev …
