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 TechDraw (Tier 3). Read src/Mod/TechDraw/{App,Gui}/CMakeLists.txt (App: OCCT TKHLR built; deps Measure+Part+PartDesign+Import all live. Gui: QGraphicsView-based, Qt Svg/Xml/PrintSupport). CRITICAL single-thread rewrites: TechDraw/App/DrawViewPart.cpp (~382 QtConcurrent::run+QFutureWatcher HLR offload), DrawComplexSection.cpp (~270), DrawBrokenView.cpp, DrawViewDetail.cpp, DrawViewSection.cpp — convert each to synchronous inline HLR then invoke the finished handler directly. Grep the whole src/Mod/TechDraw for QtConcurrent/QFutureWatcher/QThreadPool and serialize ALL of them (this is the make-or-break). Determine registrations + package Templates/PAT/LineGroup/Symbols data + TechDrawTools Python. Return spec. High value: projected drawings/dimensions/sections.

Fable

I see the pattern now—the simplest approach is to replace the QtConcurrent::run call with synchronous inline execution and then invoke the finished handler directly. There's already a fallback path for when the GUI isn't up that does something similar, running projectShape synchronously and returning the result, though it doesn't call onHlrFinished in that case.
The safest transformation preserves the connect-and-finished-handler semantics but executes synchronously: run the projectShape lambda inline, then call onHlrFinished() directly. The waitingForHlr state transitions (true then false) will still work fine in this synchronous flow, and I need to check the caller chain to make sure call …

Fable
thinking
The execution flow goes through partExec, which calls makeGeometryForShape, then buildGeometryObject to set up the shape projection. Right now it only manually triggers the completion callback for the coarse/non-GUI case, but the cleanest fix would be to make the GUI branch also execute the projection synchronously inline, matching the non-GUI path so partExec can handle completion uniformly.
However, there's a timing issue: onHlrFinished() relies on m_tempGeometryObject being set, but that assignment happens in partExec *after* makeGeometryForShape returns, so calling it inside buildGeometryObject would see the stale value instead of the newly constructed geometry object.
The solution is …

Fable

DrawViewSection is straightforward—the non-GUI branch already handles things synchronously, so I'll make the GUI-up path synchronous as well. The destructor's QFuture checks are harmless to leave since a default-constructed QFuture returns false for isRunning(). The tricky part is that onSectionCutFinished calls buildGeometryObject, which itself triggers HLR operations.
For the GUI branch, I'm replacing the async logic with a direct synchronous call to makeSectionCut, then immediately calling onSectionCutFinished to complete the flow. Rather than a complex refactor, I'll just simplify the try-catch block to run synchronously while keeping the overall structure intact.
Next I need to handle …

Fable

I'm looking at how DrawComplexSection handles section cutting—it currently spawns makeAlignedPieces on a thread while synchronously calling DrawViewSection::makeSectionCut on the base shape, then waits for both futures to complete. For a single-threaded approach, I'd run makeAlignedPieces synchronously first, then call DrawViewSection::makeSectionCut, though I need to be careful about the ordering and dependencies.
The key insight is that DrawComplexSection::makeSectionCut is called virtually from the base sectionExec, which then calls onSectionCutFinished afterward—so with synchronous execution, the futures will be default-constructed and isRunning() will return false, allowing onSectionCu …

I'm noticing there's a bug in the original detailExec where the non-GUI path doesn't return, causing it to fall through into the threaded execution. Since the wasm environment has the GUI up anyway, I'll refactor this to make the GUI path synchronous and replace the entire threaded block.
Writing detailExec function...
The new version checks if we're already waiting for HLR or detail work, then calls makeDetailShape directly and triggers the completion handler. The onMakeDetailFinished call does a QObject::disconnect on a default QMetaObject::Connection, which is safe even if it was never connected.

The packaging structure maps the source tree under `src/Mod/<WB>` to `/freecad/Mod/<WB>`, so for TechDraw that means packaging `src/Mod/TechDraw` to mount at `/freecad/Mod/TechDraw`, which includes both the Python modules and data directories like Templates, LineGroup, Symbols, Patterns, and PAT files. However, the GUI icons are handled differently—they're compiled from SVG resources into Qt resource files rather than being packaged directly from the source tree.
The challenge is that Preferences.cpp reads these data directories from the filesystem at runtime using `getResourceDir()+"Mod/TechDraw/..."`, so they need to be present in the final package. While packaging the entire `src/Mod/Tec …

I'm noticing a critical issue in the control flow: when `onMakeDetailFinished` calls `buildGeometryObject`, it now runs the shape projection synchronously and stores the result, then checks if the GUI is up. In GUI mode (wasm), it skips calling `onHlrFinished`, but the original design had `buildGeometryObject` offload the HLR work to a background thread, with the completion signal triggering `onHlrFinished` later—so the async callback chain is now broken in GUI mode.
I need to fix this by removing the `!DU::isGuiUp()` guard and always calling `onHlrFinished` directly after `buildGeometryObject` returns, since the work is now synchronous. I also need to check `DrawViewSection::onSectionCutFi …

I'm seeing that buildGeometryObject is now synchronous, so multiple call sites that previously waited for the m_hlrWatcher.finished signal are now directly invoking onHlrFinished, each protected by a guard checking if the GUI is active. Looking at DrawViewSection::onSectionCutFinished as an example, it's calling buildGeometryObject and then conditionally triggering onHlrFinished based on that GUI state check.
Since HLR is now always synchronous, I need to update those guards in DrawViewSection, DrawViewDetail, and DrawViewMulti to always call onHlrFinished rather than conditionally. DrawProjectSplit uses its own static buildGeometryObject so it's unaffected, and DrawViewPart's makeGeometryF …

Fable
thinking
DrawViewMulti::execute takes a different approach—it directly assigns the geometry object from buildGeometryObject without going through m_tempGeometryObject or calling onHlrFinished. Instead, it handles the face extraction and paint request itself, so no changes are needed there since the synchronous buildGeometryObject already populates the geometry with the projected shape data.
For cases 1 and 2, I need to remove the GUI check and make the onHlrFinished call unconditional in both DrawViewSection.cpp at line 627 and DrawViewDetail.cpp at line 401—they have identical conditional blocks that need to be simplified.

Fable

There's a reentrancy consideration with DrawViewSection::onSectionCutFinished where the base class's onHlrFinished eventually triggers postHlrTasks, which is virtual and can call back into DrawViewSection::postHlrTasks, potentially invoking sectionExec again for auto-scaling. This recursive pattern already existed in the original console-mode path, so it's a known and handled scenario.
The guards in sectionExec and partExec that check `waitingForHlr()` or `waitingForCut()` will simply not trigger now since those flags are never set to true anymore — which is correct for the synchronous execution model. The temporary geometry object handling in partExec remains unchanged from the original be …

The QtConcurrent references have been cleaned up—only harmless includes and member declarations remain. Now I'm checking InitGui.py to see how the workbench registers and whether there are any missing dependencies or issues.

The icon path references FreeCAD's resource directory, which gets copied during the build process to the datadir, but for WebAssembly builds the icon needs to be accessible at a different location in the filesystem hierarchy.
The challenge is that the CMake build flattens the directory structure—it copies icons from `Gui/Resources/icons/` in the source tree to `Mod/TechDraw/Resources/icons/` in the build datadir. If I just mount the source tree directly, the icon would be at `Mod/TechDraw/Gui/Resources/icons/`, which doesn't match the expected runtime path. I need to either replicate that flattened structure or adjust how the icon path is resolved.
Let me check how existing modules like Me …

I'm checking how the Measure workbench resolves its icon path — whether it uses the source tree layout under Gui/Resources or a Qt resource path. Since the installed flattened layout doesn't include Mod/Measure/Resources, the modules must be relying on the source directory structure.

PartDesign references its icon using the flattened installed directory structure, but when I search the actual freecad.data for that icon path, it doesn't show up—which suggests either the icon file is missing (resulting in a fallback default) or it's being packaged differently than expected.
Since PartDesign itself works fine in the current build, a missing workbench icon is purely cosmetic and non-blocking. For TechDraw, I should package the icon directory from src/Mod/TechDraw/Gui/Resources/icons to /freecad/Mod/TechDraw/Resources/icons to match what InitGui expects, mirroring how CMake handles the source tree layout. If that's omitted, it's just a visual gap, not a functional problem.

BUILD_TECHDRAW is currently disabled but needs to be turned on. I'm checking its dependencies—BUILD_PART, BUILD_PART_DESIGN, BUILD_SPREADSHEET, BUILD_MEASURE, and BUILD_IMPORT—and they're all already enabled in the current configuration, so we're good there. Now I need to verify that the App CMake is properly linking QtConcurrent.
The libQt6Concurrent.a library is already in the link line, which is necessary since we're using its headers and members. The App target also links against Measure, Part, Spreadsheet, and PartDesign (plus optional Import), all of which are built. I notice TechDrawLIBS references PartDesign, and while the output name is _PartDesign, the CMake target name is PartDes …

I'm checking whether QGraphicsView is using a QOpenGLWidget viewport in QGVPage.cpp, which could be problematic under WebAssembly even though QtOpenGL is linked. The issue might be with how the viewport is being set up.

The OpenGL viewport is only activated when users explicitly select that renderer preference, and since the default uses the native QWidget path, this isn't a blocking issue for WebAssembly support. I'll flag it as a potential risk for users who do opt into the OpenGL renderer on TechDraw pages, but no immediate fix is required.
Now I'm checking the module dependency chain in AppTechDraw.cpp to confirm it loads Part and Measure correctly, and then I'll verify the Gui module's load dependencies in AppTechDrawGui.cpp.

TechDraw's dependencies are all in place. I'm checking whether there's an unused `waitingForAlign` variable or alignment path issue in DrawComplexSection where `onSectionCutFinished` depends on `prepareShape` ordering—the current approach preserves the existing behavior. I'm also tracing through `makeSectionCut` to see where `prepareShape()` gets called after `makeAlignedPieces` runs.
The alignment result feeds directly into `prepareShape`, which scales the aligned shape. The original async code had `makeAlignedPieces` running concurrently with the base cut logic—a genuine race condition. By serializing it (align first, then base cut), I get the correct deterministic order. Now I'm ready to …

I'm noticing a discrepancy between how PartDesign is registered in the module list versus what the MEMORY note indicates about the inittab naming convention. The list uses `PartDesign` but there's a question about whether it transforms to `_PartDesign` in inittab, though for TechDraw the target name matches the PyInit function name directly.
Looking at the pattern used for Part and Measure modules, TechDraw should follow the same straightforward approach where the registered name, target name, and PyInit function all align. I'm building a CMake block that mirrors the BUILD_MEASURE structure, appending both TechDraw and TechDrawGui to their respective module lists.

I've confirmed that `getVisibleEdges()` is available and can be used to verify the probe detects visible edges on a projected box, which exercises the complete synchronous HLR pipeline. Now I'm ready to compose the StructuredOutput with the TechDraw module configuration, setting the build tier and flags.
I'm specifying the CMakeListBlock with the BUILD_TECHDRAW conditional, mapping the Python source trees for both the module and its resource icons, and documenting the four files that needed edits across the drawing view classes. The module depends on Part, PartDesign, Spreadsheet, Measure, and Import, with no additional link libraries needed since Qt dependencies are already handled.
