CONTEXT: FreeCAD 26.3 compiled to WebAssembly (emscripten, single-thread, ASYNCIFY, static Qt 6.11.1 + OCCT + Coin3D + CPython 3.14, NO dlopen/subprocess/threads). After a big push it now has 17 workbenches, numpy, Draft/TechDraw/Assembly all working. The 3D VIEWPORT RENDERS WELL (Coin3D -> WebGL via an offscreen FBO + QPainter blit). Toolbars/menus/tree are functional. THREE PROBLEM AREAS TO RESEARCH (be concrete, grep the real source + deploy, cite files): A) UNSTYLED UI (from a screenshot): the right "Tasks" panel (Gui::TaskView, shows "Start Part"/"New Body") has NO background — floating text on the 3D view. Context menus (right-click tree) are plain white, no hover highlight. NO hover states anywhere (buttons/menu items don't react on mouse-over). Font looks slightly oversized. This is the classic signature of FreeCAD's Qt STYLESHEET (.qss) + assets not being applied. FreeCAD ships stylesheets in src/Gui/Stylesheets/*.qss ("FreeCAD Dark.qss", "FreeCAD Light.qss", "Behave-*.qss") and the overlay/taskview qss; the active one is set by the preference MainWindow/StyleSheet and applied via qApp->setStyleSheet / Gui::Application. Icons/qss may be in a Qc qrc compiled into the wasm OR need FS packaging. B) The RENDER PERF hot path (from a profiler trace of a single mouse-wheel zoom = 96ms): dominated by Coin's IMMEDIATE-MODE GL emulation — emscripten's ffVertex/ffEnd/ffNormal3/ffColor4 (per-vertex glBegin/glVertex emulation) called from Coin scenegraph traversal (recursive wasm-function[15570]/[48370]), plus _glTexSubImage2D (~4ms, the FBO->texture blit) and _glReadPixels. deploy/index.html sets `COIN_VERTEX_ARRAYS=0` and `COIN_AUTO_CACHING=0` in Module.preRun ENV — these DISABLE Coin vertex arrays (forcing the slow immediate-mode path) and render caching. There are NO wasm debug symbols so wasm-function[N] can't be resolved. C) NEXT PARITY STAGES: (1) browser-reload PERSISTENCE is broken — IDBFS mount+hydrate work, but FreeCAD's user.cfg ParameterManager serializer is created in Application::bootstrapEarly()->LoadParameters() with a stale root path ("/user.cfg") before the real UserConfigPath is known; App.saveParameter() then writes to /user.cfg (or no-ops). An attempted fix re-pointed the serializer in LoadParameters()'s idempotent-guard using getUserConfigPath() but it did NOT work (user.cfg still not at /tmp/.config/FreeCAD/v26-3/). (2) CAM is blocked because pybind11 is absent from /opt/toolchains (CAM's area/tsp_solver need it). (3) BIM/Arch could partially load now that Draft+numpy exist (IFC needs ifcopenshell, but non-IFC Arch modeling may work). PATHS: FreeCAD source /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/freecad-port/FreeCAD (git branch wasm-parity-push). wasm build tree /opt/toolchains/src/freecad-gui-build. deploy /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/freecad-port/deploy (index.html + *.data + *.data.js — grep the .data.js manifests to see what's on the FS). Toolchain env: source /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/env.sh. To check what's packaged: the .data.js files contain a JSON "files" manifest with "filename" paths. The base freecad.data mounts at /freecad (share at /freecad/share, modules at /freecad/Mod). getResourceDir()=/freecad/share/. Qt wasm plugin + qt.conf considerations apply. DIMENSION D — next parity stages, concrete plans. Investigate each: 1. PERSISTENCE (why the fix failed): trace Application.cpp bootstrapEarly()->LoadParameters() vs initConfig ordering and the ParameterManager serializer lifecycle. The idempotent-guard re-point using getUserConfigPath() didn't work — WHY? Is getUserConfigPath()/_appDirs valid at the 2nd LoadParameters call? Is saveParameter() gated by IgnoreSave() (Application.cpp:2061)? Is _pcUserParamMngr->SaveDocument() a no-op because paramSerializer is null OR because SetIgnoreSave(true) is called somewhere on wasm? grep for SetIgnoreSave. Propose a VERIFIED fix approach (with the exact call sequence) so user.cfg lands at /tmp/.config/FreeCAD/v26-3/user.cfg and reloads. 2. CAM/pybind11: what exactly does CAM need pybind11 for (area/tsp_solver/PathSimulator)? Is pybind11 header-only (just add an include dir)? Can we drop pybind11 into /opt/toolchains and set FREECAD_USE_PYBIND11=ON + point at it? Assess feasibility + steps. 3. BIM/Arch: now that Draft + numpy work, can the BIM (Arch) workbench load for NON-IFC modeling? grep src/Mod/BIM for hard top-level ifcopenshell imports in InitGui.py (would block load) vs lazy imports. What would enabling BUILD_BIM require (deps, gates)? Is a degraded BIM (walls/structure, no IFC) achievable? Produce concrete fix plans with effort/impact for each.

I'm diving into the FreeCAD codebase to investigate persistence, CAM/pybind11, and BIM/Arch components across these three dimensions. Let me start searching through the source files to find concrete answers.

I need to examine the persistence mechanism more closely—specifically how LoadParameters works, the saveParameter logic, and the idempotent guard fix that prevents duplicate operations. I should also trace through bootstrapEarly and understand how getUserConfigPath and _appDirs are initialized.

Let me dig into the persistence internals and the other two areas in parallel.

I'm trying to trace why the fix didn't work by checking if `_appDirs` is still valid when the second LoadParameters call happens, and more importantly, figuring out where the actual save operation occurs — I see `saveParameter()` mentioned at line 2061 but that's inside the destructor, so I need to find where the real save happens.

The ordering checks out—`_appDirs` is initialized before the second `LoadParameters()` call, so it should be valid at that point. Now I need to verify what `ApplicationDirectories::getUserConfigPath()` actually returns to confirm it's pointing to the correct directory like `/tmp/.config/FreeCAD/v26-3/`.

Beyond that, I should trace through `SetSerializer` to understand whether creating a new `ParameterSerializer` and calling `LoadOrCreateDocument` actually redirects where `SaveDocument` writes to. There's also a critical detail in Parameter.cpp around line 1831 where `SetIgnoreSave(true)` gets called—I need to check under what conditions that happens, because if `IgnoreSave` is set to true,   …

Looking at the sSaveParameter Python binding that App.saveParameter() invokes — this is the critical runtime save operation, not destruct() which won't persist across browser reloads. The issue is that SaveDocument writes to a file path, but on WebAssembly with IDBFS, I need an explicit FS.syncfs() call to actually persist data to IndexedDB; writing to /tmp/.config/ through MEMFS alone won't survive the reload.

I'm tracking down the core issue now. The idempotent guard is setting `mConfig["UserParameter"]` to `ucp + "user.cfg"`, where `ucp` comes from `getUserConfigPath()` which calls `_appDirs->getUserConfigPath()`. The comment in index.html indicates UserConfigPath should be `/tmp/.config/FreeCAD/`, but there's a mismatch between what the code expects and what's actually being resolved.

The real problem is whether `_userConfig` includes the version subdirectory `v26-3` that FreeCAD needs. The mount covers `/tmp/.config`, so `/tmp/.config/FreeCAD/v26-3/` should be accessible, but I need to verify how `ApplicationDirectories` constructs the path and whether it includes that version component.

I'm spotting a critical pattern here—there are two different code paths setting `_userConfig`. One path constructs it by searching through directories with version appending, while another path pulls it directly from a configuration map. This suggests there's a branching condition determining which approach gets used.

The real issue is whether the directory actually gets created. The `findPath` function has a guard that skips directory creation if Python is already initialized, and by the time `initConfig` runs at line 2833, Python might already be set up. So even though `_userConfig` should resolve to `/tmp/.config/FreeCAD/v26-3`, that directory might never actually be created on disk, whi  …

Looking at the config path logic with the doNotAppend behavior, the function checks if the config home directory combined with subdirectories forms a versioned path, and if not, it looks for the most recent available version if the path exists.

So configSubdirs ends up as ["FreeCAD", "v26-3"], where the version string gets appended without actually creating the directory. Then findPath is called with create=true, but the create branch only executes if Python isn't initialized — on wasm, if Py_IsInitialized() returns true during initConfig, the directory never gets created on the filesystem. This means _userConfig points to /tmp/.config/FreeCAD/v26-3 as a path, but the actual directory doesn  …

I'm tracing through the initialization flow on WebAssembly—main() calls App::Application::init() which sets up _appDirs, then LoadParameters() runs with those directories available. But bootstrapEarly gets invoked earlier through global constructors before main() even executes, so I need to understand the actual sequence of when things initialize.

The issue might be that bootstrapEarly creates the parameter managers with stale paths (UserConfigPath is empty at that point, so it defaults to "user.cfg" relative to the current directory), then later when init() runs and LoadParameters() is called again, it should re-point those managers to the correct path. But there are two possible failure m  …

I'm tracing through the initialization sequence — `_appDirs` gets constructed at line 2833 before `PyImport_AppendInittab` is called at 2843, which means Python hasn't been initialized yet when the ApplicationDirectories object is created. Since `Py_IsInitialized()` returns false at that point, the findPath function takes the create branch and successfully generates the `/tmp/.config/FreeCAD/v26-3/` directory.

But there's a critical detail: `bootstrapEarly` runs during module load through global constructors, potentially creating `_pcSingleton` and `_pcUserParamMngr` before `initConfig` is called. When `initConfig` runs later, it reuses the existing singleton rather than recreating it. The   …

FileLock isn't the issue on EMSCRIPTEN since tryLock returns true, so SaveDocument continues and writes the config file to /tmp/.config/FreeCAD/v26-3/user.cfg through LocalFileFormatTarget.

So bootstrapEarly gets triggered whenever GetApplication() is called before main's initialization, which on WebAssembly likely happens during module load when global constructors run. This means the re-point path definitely executes. The critical part is that this re-point happens during LoadParameters at initConfig-time, which calls LoadOrCreateDocument() — on the first run it creates an empty document since no file exists yet, but I need to trace through what happens on subsequent runs.

I'm tracing through the initialization sequence more carefully—the `_appDirs` construction happens at line 2833, and the second LoadParameters call is at line 2930, both within initConfig, so the timing checks out. But there's something else I'm missing about the actual root cause.

When we re-point the serializer and call LoadOrCreateDocument, we're reloading the document into the parameter manager, which on first run creates an empty document and potentially wipes out defaults that were registered earlier. That's a data concern though, not the path issue itself.

FileLock is a no-op on emscripten and just returns true without touching the filesystem, so SaveDocument works fine. The extractVersionFromConfigMap function pulls BuildVersionMajor and BuildMinor from mConfig, which should be set earlier in initConfig from build metadata. If those values are missing and throw an exception, the ApplicationDirectories constructor fails and leaves _appDirs null, which then causes issues downstream.

But if _appDirs construction had thrown, initConfig would throw and the app wouldn't boot properly — yet the app does boot and 3D works, so _appDirs must be valid. That means the version resolves to 26.3 and the config path should be correct.

I found something critical — at line 2856 there's a check for whether Python is initialized, and on WebAssembly the initialization order matters. The embedder calls `freecadWasmRegisterInittab()` in main before `init()` runs, but Python doesn't actually get initialized until `Base::Interpreter().init()` is called around line 2870. This means when `_appDirs` is constructed at line 2833, Python isn't ready yet, even though there's a comment in the else branch suggesting it should be in a normal Python interpreter context.

The key question is whether `freecadWasmRegisterInittab()` actually calls `Py_Initialize()` or just registers modules with `PyImport_AppendInittab()`. If it only registers m  …

I'm tracing through the initialization sequence and confirming that `freecadWasmRegisterInittab` only registers the inittab without actually initializing Python. The real initialization happens later in `Interpreter().init()` around line 2870, which comes after `_appDirs` is constructed at line 2833. This means when `_appDirs` is created, `Py_IsInitialized()` returns false, so the v26-3 directory gets created as expected. I've now verified the fix logic is sound from every static angle, though I can't test it in the browser to confirm runtime behavior.

The pump mechanism is working correctly—it's renaming and executing the command file as expected, so the saveParameter function is running. Given how thoroughly I've verified the static logic, the most honest assessment is that the re-pointing logic itself is sound and deployed, which means the persistence issue isn't stemming from the path resolution or serializer layer.

The real culprit is likely that the re-point executes successfully, but `getUserConfigPath()` returns a path where the v26-3 directory was never actually created, causing SaveDocument's file operations to fail silently when the parent directory is missing—the XMLException gets caught and swallowed, leaving no file written   …

The BIM workbench loading depends on several things: the `lark` parser library, QtSvgWidgets for the GUI, and critically, whether the import chain in `createTools()` → `ifc_commands` → `ifc_openshell` actually fails hard when ifcopenshell is missing.

I'm checking whether the import chain from `nativeifc` triggers a hard import of ifcopenshell or if it respects the lazy guard that's already in place. The `__init__.py` uses `importlib.util.find_spec` to safely check for ifcopenshell without forcing an import, but I need to trace through what happens when `ifc_commands` gets imported to see if that protection holds.

The real concern is `addonmanager_utilities` and the `packaging` module — if AddonManager isn't built for wasm or if packaging isn't available, the import chain breaks at load time and BIM fails to initialize. Let me map out the full dependency chain from BIM's InitGui through to where these imports happen.

The BIM command files don't hard-import ifcopenshell at the top level, which is good, and none of the BIM dependencies are showing up in the deploy manifests yet—meaning BIM isn't being packaged. Let me verify the manifest grep is working correctly by checking what actually is included, like Draft or numpy.

Looking at the file distribution across different modules: Draft has 450 files and is working properly, numpy has 377 files present, while BIM is essentially missing with just 1 stray file, and Arch has only 38 files that appear to be references rather than a complete implementation. The packaging and lark dependencies aren't included either, which means BIM's ifc_openshell.py is missing critical imports it needs.

To get BIM working in a degraded state, I'd need to enable the BUILD_BIM flag (currently off for wasm), which requires setting up the Lark parser as a Python package. Then I'd need to package the lightweight pure-Python dependencies like packaging and lark, plus handle the addonma  …

I'm seeing that addonmanager_utilities has some problematic dependencies for WebAssembly—it imports subprocess which isn't available in wasm, and it pulls in QtNetwork and addonmanager_freecad_interface which create a heavy dependency chain. Loading BIM through the ifc_opensh path would hit a hard blocker when trying to import these modules on wasm.

The cleanest solution is to patch ifc_openshell.py to lazy-load the `create_pip_call` function inside the function that actually uses it, so BIM can load without pulling in the entire AddonManager. Since ifcopenshell isn't present anyway, that pip-install helper never gets called.
