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 — BUILD pivy._coin as a wasm static archive (THE linchpin: unblocks Draft/Show/Assembly). pivy source: src/3rdParty/pivy ; SWIG interface: src/3rdParty/pivy/interfaces/coin.i ; pivy/coin.py is already on the FS and imports the native _coin module. Coin3D is in-tree at src/3rdParty/coin (headers src/3rdParty/coin/include) and is ALREADY statically linked into FreeCAD.wasm — so your archive only needs to COMPILE (define PyInit__coin); Coin symbols resolve at FreeCAD's final link.
STEPS: (1) find the exact _coin import in pivy/coin.py and the SWIG module name in coin.i. (2) host-generate the wrapper: `swig -c++ -python -I<coin/include> -I<pivy interfaces> [needed -D] -o /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/pyside-port/build/pivy-coin/coin_wrap.cxx coin.i` (coin.i may %include sub-interfaces from interfaces/ — add -I). (3) emcc compile coin_wrap.cxx for wasm: `em++ -fexceptions -O2 -DNDEBUG -std=c++17 -I<coin/include> -I/opt/toolchains/python-wasm/include/python3.14 [Qt/other -I as needed] -c coin_wrap.cxx -o coin_wrap.o`. The Coin API subset must match the wasm Coin build — if SWIG wraps Coin classes disabled in the wasm Coin, exclude them in coin.i or expect link-time (not compile-time) undefineds (acceptable — Coin is linked). (4) `emar rcs libpivy_coin_wasm.a coin_wrap.o`; verify `emnm ... | grep PyInit`. Write everything under /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/pyside-port/build/pivy-coin/. Return the SUBLIB spec: archivePaths, initSymbol (PyInit__coin), inittabEntry (determine the registered name pivy expects — likely "pivy._coin=_coin" or "_coin=_coin"), notes. If SWIG/compile fails, iterate (this is high priority); report the failure precisely if truly blocked.

I'm breaking down the process for building `pivy._coin` as a WebAssembly static archive: first I need to locate the `_coin` import in the Python module and identify the SWIG module name, then generate the wrapper code using SWIG, compile the resulting C++ file with emcc for WebAssembly, and finally create the archive with `emar` while verifying the PyInit symbol is present.
Now I'm going to explore the source tree and run some commands to examine the key files.

I'll start by exploring the environment and the pivy source structure.

The SWIG configuration in `coin.i` sets up the module name as `coin` within the `pivy` package, and when compiled with the `-python` flag, it generates a `coin.py` file that imports the native `_coin` module at runtime. The task mentions that `pivy/coin.py` should already exist on the filesystem and handle this import, but it seems that file is missing.
I need to check several key files to understand the build setup: the `interfaces/CMakeLists.txt` to see the exact SWIG invocation with all its flags and defines, the contents of the `pivy/pivy/` directory to see what's actually there, the `install_helpers.py` script that generates `coin_header_includes.h`, and verify whether the generated `c …
Fable
The SWIG module is `%module(package="pivy") coin`. Let me examine the interfaces CMakeLists (the authoritative SWIG invocation), the pivy Python dir, and the deploy FS where coin.py reportedly lives.

Fable

I'm getting clearer on how SWIG structures the Python module generation. With the `-python` flag, SWIG creates two key files: a Python wrapper module that handles imports, and a C++ wrapper that defines the actual compiled extension module. In Python 3 specifically, the compiled module gets named with an underscore prefix like `_coin`, while the user-facing wrapper is just `coin.py`.
The include path ordering is crucial here—SWIG needs to find the interface files like `pivy_common_typemaps.i` and `coin_header_includes.h` that are included within `coin.i`. Since these live in the `interfaces/` directory where SWIG is invoked from, they're automatically discoverable, but the Coin headers them …
Fable
Now let me understand the pivy mechanism deeply. The `install_helpers.py` "swigifies" headers by copying real Coin headers into `pivy/Inventor/` with `%include` directives. Let me check the current state and the header includes.

I'm seeing that the Inventor directory already has a substantial number of header and interface files, and the modification timestamp suggests the install script may have already processed them. Let me check if one of those header files has the expected `#ifdef __PIVY__ %include` directive prepended. Also, I notice the package structure has `pivy` as the main module with `coin.py` nested inside it, and the imports in `__init__.py` are pulling from that internal `coin` module.
Now I'm realizing the critical piece: SWIG 4.4.1 with the package directive generates a relative import in the coin.py file, so when it's imported as `pivy.coin`, it tries to import `pivy._coin`. This means the inittab …

The swigified headers exist (125 .h). Let me verify one has the `%include` injection, confirm SWIG's import style by checking Coin's generated headers location in the build tree, and inspect the fake_headers plus typemaps.

I'm identifying where the Coin library headers are located—there's a source directory in the FreeCAD repository and a generated build directory where the compiled headers end up during the build process.
The SoCube.h check failed, so I need to investigate the actual structure of the swigified headers and look at the generated basic.h to understand what configuration macros are being set. The Coin build configuration matters since it determines which features are enabled (like threading support) and which preprocessor defines get set, which will affect how the SWIG wrapper compiles against these headers.

So I've confirmed Coin version 4.0.10 and located the generated basic.h file in the build directory. Looking at the swigified headers, they're actually just copies of the original Coin headers rather than modified versions — the SbBox2d.h file has the standard Coin header guard instead of a `__PIVY__` marker.
This raises a question about whether install_helpers.py actually ran or if these headers were already present in the pivy submodule. The injection logic should insert a marker before the first `#include` statement, but I'm not seeing it in SbBox2d.h, which suggests either there's no corresponding `.i` file for it or the injection was skipped for some reason. Rather than get bogged down …
Fable
The swigified headers are copies of real Coin headers. Let me verify the `%include` injection state, and critically — find how FreeCAD's own code compiles against Coin in the wasm build (the exact client-of-Coin include flags + GL setup I need to mirror).

The swigified headers are already injected in SbBox2d.h at line 36-37, so install_helpers.py has already run and I don't need to re-run it. I notice there's a mismatch though — there are 128 .i files but only 125 .h files, which is worth investigating.
Now I need to find the exact compile command for SoFCDB.cpp.o in the FreeCADGui build to see the full set of include paths, compiler flags, and defines being used. The ninja build file should have a build statement for that object with the CXX_COMPILER rule, and the per-target variables like INCLUDES and DEFINES should be listed right after it.

Swigify injection confirmed (SbBox2d.h:36 has `#ifdef __PIVY__ %include`). install_helpers.py already ran. Now let me extract the exact compile flags FreeCAD uses for a Coin-consuming Gui object.

I'm looking at the specific compiler flags for Coin includes—there's a source path and a generated build path—plus the Python include directory, and I'm noting the key flags being used.
The critical insight is that GL headers come from emscripten's built-in sysroot rather than needing explicit includes, so I need to be careful about how I handle the fake_headers. For SWIG's parser, I'll include the fake_headers to help it understand the GL stubs, but for the actual em++ compilation of the wrapped code, I should use the real emscripten GL headers that Coin was built with. So the SWIG include path needs pivy's fake_headers, while the em++ compile path should skip them and rely on emscripten's …
Fable
I have the exact client-of-Coin flags. Key includes: `-isystem .../src/3rdParty/coin/include` (source) + `.../freecad-gui-build/src/3rdParty/coin/include` (generated), Python at `/opt/toolchains/python-wasm/include/python3.14`.

Emscripten has the GL headers I need. The Coin config files are internal to the source directory, while clients use the generated public headers I've already reviewed. The public headers don't have much threading gating, which is expected. FreeCAD's build includes `-DHAVE_CONFIG_H`, but that's for FreeCAD's own config, not Coin's—when compiling the SWIG wrapper for Pivy, I should keep it clean as a Coin client would, using just Coin's includes plus Python and exception handling.
Now I'm setting up the build directory and preparing to run SWIG. I'll create a reproducible build script under `build/pivy-coin/` that documents the exact steps. First, I need to establish the key paths: the Pivy i …

I'm seeing the critical issue now: when `pivy.coin` is imported, the `__package__` variable is set to "pivy", which triggers a relative import of `_coin`. This means the inittab registration needs to use `pivy._coin` as the module name. The PyInit function is named `PyInit__coin` according to the SWIG definitions, which is the entry point that needs to be properly configured.
The module uses multi-phase initialization (PEP 489), which is compatible with the inittab mechanism — when PyImport_AppendInittab registers the module, it will call PyInit__coin, which returns the PyModuleDef, and the import system handles setting the module's `__name__` correctly to match how it was imported. This pa …

Critical facts locked in:
- coin.py line 18: `from . import _coin` when packaged → import name is **`pivy._coin`**
- PyInit symbol: **`PyInit__coin`** (coin_wrap.cxx:4882, multi-phase init via PyModuleDef_Init)

The syntax check passed cleanly with only standard SWIG warnings, confirming the headers and Python integration are working correctly. Now I'm moving on to the full optimization compilation to generate the object file, which will take longer due to code generation.

I'm checking the SWIG_name definition around line 4885 to see if it's set to "_coin" or "pivy._coin", since the module name gets overridden by the import system when loaded through inittab.
Now I need to confirm the inittabEntry format — it should be "pivy._coin=_coin" which translates to calling PyImport_AppendInittab("pivy._coin", PyInit__coin), and then add the archive to the linker flags. Let me grab SWIG_name and write out the build script.

The module name in SWIG is set to "_coin", but when it's registered in the inittab as "pivy._coin", the multi-phase initialization system uses the name from the import spec rather than the module definition's m_name field, so the registration works correctly and BuiltinImporter finds it and calls the initialization function.
Now I need to verify the whole setup is coherent and note that the integrator must package the pivy Python tree with the generated coin.py file. The minimal pivy package structure includes the __init__.py, the generated coin.py, pivy_meta.py for version info, and optionally py.typed, though I should recommend packaging the full pivy tree to be safe since workbenches lik …

`SWIG_name = "_coin"` (self-name; the inittab key `pivy._coin` overrides it via multi-phase init spec — standard for packaged SWIG modules).
The archive is done and verified. Now let me gather concrete integration details: how the current EXTRA_LINK_LIBS / EXTRA_PY_MODULES are wired in Main/CMakeLists.txt, and where the pivy Python tree must be mounted (the generated coin.py must ship with it).

I need to examine the CMakeLists.txt file to understand how EXTRA_LINK_LIBS and EXTRA_PY_MODULES are structured, and figure out how the FREECAD_WASM_EXTRA_PY_MODULES string gets converted into the inittab format with the "RegName=CInitSuffix" pattern.

I'm seeing how the integration works—there are two cache variables to configure. The first one registers Python modules by specifying their names and initialization suffixes, so I need to add pivy's coin module there. The second variable lists static library archives to link against, and I need to include the path to the compiled pivy-coin library.
Now I'm checking the generator function that parses these entries to confirm it correctly maps the initialization suffix to the PyInit function, and I want to verify what values are currently set in the build cache so I know what to append to.

Let me confirm the inittab generator's exact parsing of "RegName=CInitSuffix" and the current cache values the integrator will append to.

The inittab generator parses the module registration string by splitting on the equals sign to extract the registry name and the C initialization function suffix, then generates an extern declaration for the corresponding PyInit function.
The key insight is that my archive needs to be linked within the start-group/end-group wrapper so that the linker can resolve the PyInit__coin symbol referenced by the generated inittab code, ensuring the archive member gets extracted during the circular symbol resolution phase.
For integration, I need to insert the pivy archive into FREECAD_WASM_EXTRA_LINK_LIBS just before the end-group marker, register the module in FREECAD_WASM_EXTRA_PY_MODULES, and mo …

Everything is confirmed. The generator turns `pivy._coin=_coin` into exactly `PyImport_AppendInittab("pivy._coin", PyInit__coin)`. Let me determine where the pivy Python tree must be mounted by checking how the existing PySide6 package is packaged onto the FS.

The pivy package needs to be placed at `/python/pivy/` on the WebAssembly filesystem so it can be imported directly, matching how PySide6 and shiboken6 are already mounted. During packaging, I'll include the generated coin.py file with the pivy source tree and bundle it into a supplementary .data file or merge it into the existing freecad-pyside.data file.
Now I need to verify that `/python` is actually on sys.path by checking how the boot process mounts the PySide data.
Fable
PySide6/shiboken6 mount at `/python/` on the FS (importable via `/python` on sys.path). So pivy must mount at `/python/pivy/`. Let me confirm `/python` is on sys.path via boot.py and verify the minimal pivy tree files exist.

The boot.py relies on sys.path being configured elsewhere—likely through the C++ bootstrap or PYTHONPATH—to access PySide6 and shiboken6 from `/python`. When consumers import pivy, the module initializes the Coin runtime by calling several setup functions on import, which means the Coin library needs to be fully operational at that point.
Since Coin is already linked into FreeCAD and initialized by the app, the pivy imports should work correctly. Now I need to stage the final pivy directory for packaging—I'll gather the generated coin.py along with the source files (__init__.py, pivy_meta.py, py.typed) into a staging tree at build/pivy-coin/pkg/python/pivy/ so the integrator can easily pack …

`/python` is on sys.path (PySide6/shiboken6 import from there), and consumers do `from pivy import coin`. Let me stage a ready-to-package pivy tree (source `.py` files + my generated `coin.py`) so the integrator can pack it directly, then do a final verification of the archive.

I've sorted through the symbol categories and found a clean breakdown: Python symbols map to the static libpython 3.14, C++ ABI symbols belong to emscripten's libc++abi, the Coin/Inventor symbols are from the in-tree Coin.a library, and the remaining sample contains standard runtime allocation operators.
The invoke_* and exception handling symbols confirm the object was built with Emscripten's JS-exceptions model, which aligns perfectly with FreeCAD's exception handling approach—no mixing of different EH schemes. All undefined symbols resolve at FreeCAD's final link stage, so the archive is a clean, self-contained compile unit with no concerning gaps.
Now I'm ready to structure the output …
Fable
Complete. Full symbol categorization confirms a clean compile-only unit — all 6537 undefined symbols resolve at FreeCAD's final link:
- 6378 Coin/Inventor (`So*/Sb*/cc_*`) → in-tree Coin.a (already linked)
- 99 CPython (`Py*/_Py*`) → static libpython 3.14
- 12 C++ ABI + operator new/delete → libc++abi
- `__THREW__`/`__resumeException`/`invoke_*` → Emscripten JS-exceptions runtime (confirms `-fexceptions`, matching FreeCAD's EH model — no wasm-EH mixing)
- Zero Qt/SoQt symbols
