You are an adversarial verifier for a FreeCAD-wasm code review. A reviewer claims:
SEVERITY: low
CATEGORY: feature-gap
FILE: src/Gui/WasmGLFixedFunc.cpp
SUMMARY: Clip planes, polygon mode, and stipple are silently dropped, so section planes and GL-polygon-mode wireframe/dashed edges do not work.
DETAIL/EVIDENCE: glClipPlane (line 468) is a no-op and GL_CLIP_PLANE0..7 are swallowed in ffCap (line 335); SoClipPlane section views will not clip. glPolygonMode (line 470) and glLineStipple/glPolygonStipple (lines 475-476) are no-ops; hidden-line/dashed styling via GL yields nothing (Coin's line-set wireframe still works). None of these block a solid box but are gaps for the full viewport. Note glPolygonOffset itself is real WebGL2 (passes through) but GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_LINE/POINT enables are swallowed, so coincident edges over faces may z-fight.
RECOMMENDATION: (none)
Independently verify by reading the actual file(s) and running git/grep as needed (repo at /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/freecad-port/FreeCAD, toolchain at /opt/toolchains, deploy at /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/freecad-port/deploy-gui). Default to REFUTED if you cannot confirm the evidence. Adjust severity to what the evidence actually supports.

I should check the file to confirm what's actually there.

I'm verifying the claims against the actual file contents. The glClipPlane function is indeed a no-op, and the GL_CLIP_PLANE0 through GL_CLIP_PLANE7 capabilities are being swallowed by the ffCap function, which returns 1 to indicate they're handled without calling ffRealEnable.
The polygon mode and line/polygon stipple functions are confirmed as no-ops, and the polygon offset point and line modes are correctly swallowed since WebGL2 only supports polygon offset fill anyway. glPolygonOffset itself passes through to the real implementation since it's not in the no-op list.
The core issue is genuine: WebGL2 doesn't natively support fixed-function clip planes like glClipPlane—they require shad …

All evidence lines verified in the file:
- Line 468: `void glClipPlane(GLenum, const GLdouble*){ }` — no-op confirmed.
- Line 335: `if (cap>=0x3000 && cap<=0x3007) return 1;` — GL_CLIP_PLANE0 (0x3000) through GL_CLIP_PLANE7 (0x3007) return 1, so `ffRealEnable` is skipped; swallowed. Comment even says "(ignored for now)".
- Line 470: `void glPolygonMode(GLenum, GLenum){ }` — no-op confirmed.
- Lines 475-476: `glLineStipple` and `glPolygonStipple` no-ops confirmed.
- Lines 331-332: GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_LINE (0x2A20) and GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_POINT (0x2A02) return 1 (swallowed). Note these are not valid WebGL2 enable targets anyway (WebGL2 only supports POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL), so swallowing them avoids a GL error — but the z-fighting caveat for coincident line/point offset is fair.
- glPolygonOffset is indeed not overridden here, so it passes through to emscripten's real WebGL2 implementation — accurate.
The functional impact is real: WebGL2 has no fixed-function clip planes (would need shader gl_ClipDistance, unavailable), so SoClipPlane section views won't clip, and GL polygon-mode/stipple styling produces nothing. The reviewer's own caveats (Coin line-set wireframe still works; none block a solid box) are accurate and appropriately scope this as a non-blocking feature gap. Low severity is well-calibrated.
