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: Global threading-hazard sweep (slug: threading-audit) === Systematically grep the ENTIRE src/ (App, Base, Gui, ALL Mod/*, src/3rdParty where feasible) for std::thread, std::async, std::future with launch::async, QtConcurrent::, QThreadPool, QThread subclasses, #pragma omp, std::jthread, worker-thread patterns. For each hit that is on an interactive/recompute/render path, give file:line, the construct, and the exact wasm fix (deferred / #ifndef FC_OS_WASM inline / remove). Produce a prioritized master list — this is the systemic risk for every module we enable. Write your full plan + any patch/new-file contents under /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/porting/threading-audit/ (create the dir; plan.md is required). Then return the structured summary with deliverableFile=/home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/porting/threading-audit/plan.md.

I'm starting by reviewing the threading hazards in the currently-enabled modules like App, Sketcher, and Gui, then I'll expand to check all the other modules we might enable. Looking at the key files now—Application.cpp has a recompute thread that's already memory-guarded, and I'm seeing std::thread usage scattered across FreeCADGuiPy, AutoSaver, Thumbnail, Tree, GraphvizView, and ProgressBar that need examination.

Now I'm checking the enabled-module threading patterns more carefully: Start module uses QThreadPool with QRunnable in DisplayedFilesModel, Part module has QtConcurrent in CrossSections and QThread in TaskCheckGeometry—both of these are already enabled, so they're immediate conce  …

The `showMainWindow(inThread=True)` method in FreeCADGuiPy.cpp only applies when FreeCAD's GUI is embedded in an existing Python environment like Jupyter, not in the WebAssembly entry point. I should dig into the module configuration details, particularly the recompute worker logic in Application.cpp and how Quarter handles Coin3D rendering for the GUI.

Now I'm looking at several GUI-related modules and components: the AutoSaver, Thumbnail generation, tree view threading, Graphviz visualization, the DisplayedFilesModel which is enabled, and some Part workbench features like cross-sections and geometry checking. Let me examine these in batch.

I found something significant in SensorManager.cpp—it's spawning a QThread on the rendering path through Coin3D Quarter, and I need to verify whether it's actually started and properly guarded since this could be a real threading hazard. Though I'm also noticing that most of the other QThread hits are just thread identity comparisons, which are harmless.

The SignalThread in SensorManager only gets started when the sensor queue callback originates from a non-main thread, but in single-threaded WebAssembly all callbacks come from the main thread, so this code path never executes and the SignalThread effectively becomes unused.

Now I'm shifting focus to the enabled modules that actually use threading — DisplayedFilesModel with QThreadPool and QRunnable, CrossSections with QtConcurrent, TaskCheckGeometry with QThread, and GraphvizView — to see where the real concurrency concerns are.

I'm looking at the CrossSections.cpp code around lines 250-290 to pinpoint the issue. QtConcurrent::mapped with waitForFinished is a blocking parallel operation, but on single-threaded WebAssembly with Qt, QtConcurrent relies on the global thread pool which may not exist or could cause synchronous execution or hangs. I need to add a guard for this. The TaskCheckGeometry comparison at line 1705 using currentThread() is harmless, but I should verify if there are other problematic patterns in that function.

CS_FUTURE is disabled at line 63 due to multi-threading issues, making the CrossSections QtConcurrent code dead weight in both Part and MeshPart modules. TaskCheckGeometry only does thread comparisons without spawning new threads, so that's safe. Looking at the enabled modules, the actual threading hazards are concentrated in App/Application.cpp and a few other places.

The recomputeThread in Application.cpp is already protected by the WASM guard, which is good. Sketcher's GCS.cpp uses std::async but forces deferred execution, so that's safe too. The real problem is DisplayedFilesModel.cpp in Start module — it directly calls QThreadPool::globalInstance()->start() without any guards, and Star  …

Both GCS async sites are properly guarded with the Emscripten deferred launch directive. I've got a clear view of which modules are enabled now, and there's one unguarded hazard I've spotted: the QThreadPool in DisplayedFilesModel.cpp within the Start module. I need to verify whether DisplayedFilesModel actually gets compiled and used in the Start module, and whether the Start App even gets instantiated—though since this is a full audit including modules that will be enabled later, I should treat it as a potential issue regardless.

Now I'm doing a broad sweep through the disabled and future modules to build out the complete picture, focusing on the major ones like Mesh, TechDraw, Points, In  …

I'm looking at the threading implementations across different modules—TechDraw's QtConcurrent::run is particularly risky since it spawns worker threads through the global thread pool with QFutureWatcher, though it's currently disabled. Mesh, Points, Inspection, and ReverseEngineering all rely on QtConcurrent as well, so I need to check for OpenMP usage in Fem, boost::thread in TechDraw/Tag.cpp, and vtkSMPTools to get a complete picture of the threading landscape.

TechDraw is the main concern here—it relies heavily on QtConcurrent::run and QFutureWatcher for async operations like hidden line removal, section cutting, and detail alignment, which form the backbone of its rendering pipeline and would require significant porting work if TechDraw gets enabled. Tag.cpp's use of boost::thread primitives is harmless since it's just using mutexes and locks without actual threading. For FEM, the OpenMP pragmas are effectively disabled when compiled without -fopenmp, which is the default for Emscripten.

I'm looking at how parallel_sort is being called throughout the codebase—it uses std::async with different launch policies depending on the branch, and only gets invoked when there are at least two threads available. Let me trace back to see which callers are passing thread counts and check if there's any threading happening in the third-party SMESH library or in the Mesh module itself.

I should also verify whether GraphvizView is actually compiled in the GUI and how GraphvizWorker (which runs as a QThread subclass executing dot via QProcess) gets invoked, since QProcess won't work in WebAssembly anyway.

I'm realizing that `std::thread::hardware_concurrency()` behaves differently in emscripten depending on pthread support—without pthreads enabled, it returns 1, which would prevent parallel_sort from taking the async branch and potentially causing a hang if it tried to spawn threads.

GraphvizView is another concern: it creates a QThread subclass in its constructor but doesn't start it until rendering is triggered, and it relies on external binaries like `dot` and `unflatten` that don't exist in WebAssembly anyway. This is latent but only becomes an issue if a user actually opens the dependency graph view.

The Material module looks safe from threading issues. DlgVersionMigrator.cpp is problematic though — it spawns worker threads using QThread and moveToThread for size calculations and migration work, which runs in the enabled Gui module and gets triggered when opening older files. I'm checking how these threads are instantiated and started, since this represents a real threading hazard in the active GUI code. The CommandTest section registers test commands but appears to cut off mid-thought about their execution.

I'm seeing a critical issue: `checkVersionMigration()` runs unconditionally during startup, and the migration dialog only exits early if using custom directories or if the current version is already known. Otherwise it triggers a size calculation worker thread that hangs, then opens a modal dialog that creates a nested event loop, causing a deadlock under asyncify.

On a fresh wasm sandbox where the version isn't known yet, this could fire immediately on startup—a high-priority hazard for the enabled Gui build. The fix is straightforward: guard `checkVersionMigration()` with an `FC_OS_WASM` check in `StartupProcess::execute()` to skip it entirely, or make `exec()` bail early. I should also v  …

AutoSaver uses QTimer with a single-threaded approach that's safe, while ThumbnailSource runs as a QRunnable in a thread pool. For the inline execution path, I need to handle deletion carefully since QRunnable defaults to autoDelete=true—when running inline I own the object, so I should check the autoDelete flag and delete it appropriately.

The patch header context is slightly misaligned with the actual includes—it references QDateTime and QThreadPool rather than QFileInfo and QMutexLocker at those specific lines—but the anchor point on QThreadPool exists, so it should apply with fuzz.
