You are working on the FreeCAD -> WebAssembly port. Ground EVERYTHING in the real code; do not guess. - Source tree: /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/freecad-port/FreeCAD (git branch wasm-port). CMake build dir (out-of-source, already configured): /opt/toolchains/src/freecad-gui-build — read /opt/toolchains/src/freecad-gui-build/CMakeCache.txt for BUILD_* flags and dep paths. Build binary: bin/FreeCAD.wasm (~180 MB). - Toolchain: emscripten, ASYNCIFY + JS exceptions (-fexceptions), SINGLE-THREADED (no pthreads). Static CPython 3.14 + static Qt 6.11 (wasm) + static OCCT + static Coin3D. Everything is statically linked; there is NO dlopen — Python C-extension modules are registered statically via PyImport_AppendInittab in the generated file src/Main/WasmInittab.cpp / WasmInittabGui.cpp (see also freecadWasmRegisterInittab in src/Main/MainGui.cpp). - CRITICAL wasm constraints you MUST check for and design around: (1) THREADING HANGS: any std::thread ctor / std::async(default or async policy) / QThreadPool / QtConcurrent / QThread worker HANGS or throws (no pthreads). Fix pattern: force synchronous/deferred on __EMSCRIPTEN__ (e.g. std::launch::deferred), or #ifndef FC_OS_WASM guard the worker and run inline. Example already in-tree: Mod/Sketcher/App/planegcs/GCS.cpp forced std::launch::deferred; App/Application.cpp guards _recomputeThread with #ifndef FC_OS_WASM; Gui/ProgressBar.cpp skips qApp->processEvents() on __EMSCRIPTEN__. (2) MODAL DIALOGS / NESTED EVENT LOOPS: QDialog::exec()/QMessageBox::exec()/QEventLoop::exec() may deadlock under asyncify when driven from outside the main loop. Task-panel (docked, non-modal) dialogs are preferred. (3) Reentrant ccalls from JS during asyncify suspend corrupt state — a QTimer command-pump (/fc-cmd.py) exists for JS->Python. QtWebEngine has NO wasm port (Web workbench / in-app help / real Start page can't use it). (4) Wasm guards used in-tree: __EMSCRIPTEN__ (compiler-provided) and FC_OS_WASM (FreeCAD-defined) — both are defined on wasm. - Built modules today: Part, Sketcher, Material, Start (+ kernel). Everything else is OFF (see BUILD_* in CMakeCache). - PySide/shiboken: FREECAD_USE_PYSIDE=OFF, FREECAD_USE_SHIBOKEN=OFF, PySide6_DIR/Shiboken6_DIR NOTFOUND. Python 'PySide'/'shiboken6' import fails at runtime ("Cannot load shiboken6"). Many workbenches (Draft, BIM, most task dialogs) are Python+PySide and cannot function without it. DELIVERABLES — do BOTH: 1) Write a thorough, concrete, ready-to-apply plan to /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/porting/<SLUG>/plan.md — include: exact CMake flags/edits, exact source edits (file + before/after or unified-diff snippets precise enough to apply), any NEW files (full contents), external-dependency build recipes (how to build each dep for this emscripten/asyncify toolchain), a threading-hazard list (grep the real files, give file:line + the exact construct + the exact fix), a modal-dialog-hazard list, the PyImport_AppendInittab lines to add, an ordered step list, and an effort/risk estimate. Put any patch files or new-file contents as separate files in that dir too. 2) Return the structured summary (the schema). Keep summary fields concise; the depth goes in plan.md. Your returned text IS the structured object. Be exhaustive and correct — token cost is not a concern. Verify claims against the actual files (use grep/read). If a dependency has no known wasm port, say so plainly and estimate the porting effort. === YOUR SCOPE: Import/export: STEP/IGES (Import) + STL (Mesh dependency) (slug: import-io) === Only .FCStd open/save works today (already wired via a JS command pump). Investigate the Import module (BUILD_IMPORT OFF) for STEP/IGES via OCCT (present) — cmake, deps, threading/modal audit. Note that STL/OBJ import needs the Mesh module (separate agent). Design the browser file-picker/download flow reuse for these formats (the /fc-cmd.py pump + FS already exist in deploy/index.html). Write your full plan + any patch/new-file contents under /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/porting/import-io/ (create the dir; plan.md is required). Then return the structured summary with deliverableFile=/home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/porting/import-io/plan.md.

Good news—the OCCT wasm build already includes all the necessary data-exchange toolkits like TKDESTEP, TKDEIGES, TKDESTL, and others, so there's no need to port external dependencies. Now I'm checking how the Part module handles the SHARED to static conversion in the wasm environment.

The Import module doesn't have threading issues, and the modal dialogs live in the Gui module. What's becoming clear is that the Import module splits into two parts: the App side handles the actual import and export logic through readers like ReaderStep and ReaderIges, while the Gui side provides the workbench commands and dialogs for user interaction.

For WebAssembly, the strategy should be to build just the Import App module and route file I/O through Python functions like Import.open, Import.insert, and Import.export via the command pump, similar to how FCStd files are handled. This avoids the modal dialog hazards of the Gui commands. I need to examine how the Python API is exposed in In  …

I'm noticing that the STEP/IGES import handlers are registered through the ImportGui module, though some lines appear commented out. I need to check InitGui.py to see where the actual registration for STEP/IGES import and open operations happens.

The crucial point for WebAssembly support is that the App module's Import functions—open(), insert(), and export()—handle the actual work through OCCT without requiring the GUI layer. Let me examine the AppImportPy.cpp implementations and InitGui.py to confirm these functions work independently.

The core functions I need are `Import.open()`, `Import.insert()`, and `Import.export()` — pure Python functions at the App level that handle STEP/IGES file operations using OCCT readers and writers, without requiring any GUI components. This makes them ideal for the wasm command-pump workflow. My approach is to build just the Import App module, register it in the initialization table, and then drive these operations through the command interface.

The ImportGui module adds modal file dialogs and PySide dependencies, which I want to avoid at runtime. The CMake structure will build both App and Gui automatically if BUILD_GUI is enabled, but I can work around this by registering only the Import  …

I'm checking whether OCCT's STEP/IGES readers use threading internally—specifically if the parallel meshing in BRepMesh relies on OSD_ThreadPool, which would degrade to sequential execution in a single-threaded WebAssembly environment. The key question is whether the OCCT WebAssembly build has threading disabled.

Since the Part module already works fine with basic operations like makeBox, OCCT itself is functional. The STEP transfer might trigger BRepMesh for visualization, but that happens during recompute time in Part, so it should be manageable. I'm noting OSD_ThreadPool as a potential concern but expecting OCCT to handle the fallback gracefully.

I'm tracing how STEP/IGES file types get registered in FreeCAD—they start as "Part" in the Part module's initialization, then get reassigned to "ImportGui" through the GUI layer. The registration system uses FreeCAD.addImportType to map file extensions to Python modules that handle open() and insert() operations, and for headless mode I need to ensure the "Import" module is the one handling these operations. I'm looking into Part's Init.py to understand the base registration, and I notice ImportOCAF2.cpp is using Base::SequencerLauncher for something related.

The progress bar handling in Gui/ProgressBar.cpp already skips processEvents on Emscripten, so there's no hang risk there. Now I need  …

The Part module handles IGES imports while the Import module manages STEP files with colors, and InitGui.py remaps both to ImportGui for the graphical interface. For WebAssembly, I can bypass the GUI layer and call the Python import functions directly—either `Import.open()` or `Import.insert()` work for both STEP and IGES files.

For exports, `Import.export()` handles STEP while Part module manages IGES. The wasm approach should use the `/fc-cmd.py` pump to invoke these functions directly, mirroring how FCStd files are processed. Regarding mesh requirements: STEP and IGES don't need BUILD_MESH since meshing is only for STL and OBJ formats, which the Mesh agent handles separately. OCCT alread  …

Enabling BUILD_IMPORT triggers an error and disables itself unless BUILD_PART_DESIGN is also enabled, so I need to either turn on BUILD_PART_DESIGN (which only requires BUILD_SKETCHER, already active) or remove the BUILD_PART_DESIGN dependency from the Import module's requirements.

There's only a soft runtime reference through a type lookup by name, so PartDesign isn't a hard compile-time dependency for Import. This means I can either patch the REQUIRES_MODS line to remove the PartDesign build requirement, which would be the minimal fix.

When PartDesign isn't loaded, `Base::Type::fromName("PartDesign::FeatureBase")` returns a bad type with ID 0, so the filter checking `jt->getTypeId() == featureBase` won't match any real objects since they all have valid non-zero type IDs — making Option A safe.

I'm looking at the import and export dialog handlers that get triggered through the GUI file dialog flow. These are task-panel dialogs that call `exec()` to run modally, which creates an asyncify issue since they're blocking operations.
