+# Unified Meson Build System Migration
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-16
+**Status**: ✅ Complete
+**Branch**: `claude/migrate-meson-wasm-build-01YWkjg2Mc2TDABbySUGcR7K`
+
+## Overview
+
+Successfully migrated gdk-pixbuf.wasm from legacy shell script build approach to the unified Meson build pattern used across the Discere OS WASM ecosystem.
+
+## Changes Summary
+
+### New Files Created
+
+1. **`emscripten-cross.ini`** - Emscripten toolchain configuration
+   - Centralizes cross-compilation settings
+   - Defines WASM32 target architecture
+   - Configures Emscripten binaries (emcc, em++, emar, etc.)
+
+2. **`scripts/unified-build.sh`** - Unified build orchestrator
+   - Single entry point for all build variants
+   - Tool validation (emcc, meson, ninja)
+   - Build type support: minimal, standard, webgpu
+   - Automatic manifest generation
+   - Post-build optimization with wasm-opt
+   - Colored output and comprehensive logging
+
+3. **`dependencies.json`** - CDN dependency manifest
+   - Lists runtime dependencies (glib, libpng, libjpeg-turbo, etc.)
+   - CDN URLs for Discere WASM ecosystem
+   - Version tracking and requirement flags
+
+### Modified Files
+
+1. **`meson_options.txt`** - Added WASM-specific options
+   ```meson
+   - wasm_build_type: minimal|standard|webgpu
+   - wasm_simd: Enable SIMD optimizations (default: true)
+   - wasm_threading: Enable pthread support (default: true)
+   - wasm_optimize: size|speed|balanced (default: balanced)
+   ```
+
+2. **`wasm/meson.build`** - Unified build configuration
+   - Conditional compilation based on build options
+   - Proper flag management for MAIN_MODULE and SIDE_MODULE
+   - Memory configuration per build type
+   - Threading and SIMD support
+   - All flags centralized (no manual emcc calls needed)
+
+3. **`deno.json`** - Simplified build tasks
+   - `build:wasm` - Standard build (default)
+   - `build:minimal` - Minimal size build
+   - `build:webgpu` - WebGPU-enabled build
+   - `build:clean` - Clean build from scratch
+   - `build:size` - Size-optimized build
+   - `build:speed` - Speed-optimized build
+
+## Build System Architecture
+
+### Before (Legacy)
+```
+deno.json
+  └─> Manual EMCC_CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
+       └─> Complex meson setup commands
+            └─> Separate build-main and build-side tasks
+```
+
+### After (Unified)
+```
+deno.json
+  └─> scripts/unified-build.sh [build_type]
+       ├─> Validates tools (emcc, meson, ninja)
+       ├─> Configures Meson with options
+       │    └─> emscripten-cross.ini (toolchain)
+       │    └─> meson_options.txt (build options)
+       ├─> Compiles via Meson
+       │    └─> wasm/meson.build (MAIN + SIDE targets)
+       ├─> Installs to install/wasm/
+       ├─> Optimizes with wasm-opt
+       └─> Generates manifest.json
+```
+
+## Build Variants
+
+### Minimal
+- Target size: 70-100KB (SIDE_MODULE)
+- Memory: 64MB initial, growth enabled
+- Use case: Production deployments
+
+### Standard (Default)
+- Target size: 100-200KB (SIDE_MODULE)
+- Memory: 128MB initial, 1GB maximum
+- Use case: General production use
+
+### WebGPU
+- Target size: 150-300KB (SIDE_MODULE)
+- Memory: 256MB initial, 2GB maximum
+- Features: WebGPU + ASYNCIFY enabled
+- Use case: GPU-accelerated image processing
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Single Source of Truth
+- All build flags in `meson.build` and `meson_options.txt`
+- No manual `emcc` invocations in shell scripts
+- Upstream-compatible (updates flow through naturally)
+
+### Type-Safe Configuration
+- Meson validates all options
+- Clear error messages for invalid configurations
+- IDE-friendly (completion support)
+
+### Dual Build Architecture
+
+**SIDE_MODULE** (Production):
+- 70-200KB size
+- Dynamic loading via `dlopen()`
+- Host provides dependencies (glib, png, jpeg, etc.)
+- Loaded by discere-concha.wasm (MAIN_MODULE host)
+
+**MAIN_MODULE** (Testing/NPM):
+- Self-contained ES6 module
+- All dependencies statically linked
+- Single-file output (JS embeds WASM)
+- Deno-compatible for local testing
+
+## Mandatory Compilation Flags
+
+### SIDE_MODULE
+```bash
+-sSIDE_MODULE=2              # Dynamic module for dlopen()
+-fPIC                        # Position independent code
+-sERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS=0  # Host provides symbols
+-O3 -flto                    # Maximum optimization
+-msimd128                    # SIMD (Chrome/Edge 113+)
+-pthread                     # Threading support
+-sPROXY_TO_PTHREAD          # Proxy to pthread
+-sWASM_BIGINT=1             # BigInt support
+```
+
+### MAIN_MODULE
+```bash
+-sEXPORT_ES6=1              # ES6 module export
+-sMODULARIZE=1              # Proper module structure
+-sEXPORT_NAME=GdkPixbufModule  # Named export
+-sSINGLE_FILE=1             # Embed WASM in JS
+-sENVIRONMENT=web,webview,worker  # No Node.js
+-O3 -flto -msimd128         # Same optimizations as SIDE
+-pthread -sPROXY_TO_PTHREAD # Threading support
+-sWASM_BIGINT=1             # BigInt support
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Building
+
+```bash
+# Standard build (default)
+deno task build:wasm
+
+# Minimal size build
+deno task build:minimal
+
+# WebGPU-enabled build
+deno task build:webgpu
+
+# Clean build
+deno task build:clean
+
+# Custom optimization
+OPTIMIZE=size deno task build:minimal
+OPTIMIZE=speed deno task build:wasm
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run demo (MAIN_MODULE)
+deno task demo
+
+# Run tests
+deno task test
+
+# Start WebSocket proxy (for networking)
+deno task start:proxy
+```
+
+### Outputs
+
+```
+install/wasm/
+├── gdk-pixbuf-side.wasm    # SIDE_MODULE (70-200KB)
+├── gdk-pixbuf-main.js      # MAIN_MODULE JS loader
+├── gdk-pixbuf-main.wasm    # MAIN_MODULE WASM (embedded in .js if SINGLE_FILE)
+└── manifest.json           # Build metadata
+```

+   ```
+
+3. **Test MAIN_MODULE**:
+   ```bash

+   ```
+
+4. **Archive old scripts** (if any exist):
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p _archive
+   mv build-dual.sh _archive/ 2>/dev/null || true
+   ```
+
+5. **Update README.md** with new build instructions
+

+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### Memory Configuration
+- **Minimal**: 64MB initial, allows growth
+- **Standard**: 128MB initial, 1GB max
+- **WebGPU**: 256MB initial, 2GB max
+
+### Threading
+- Uses `-pthread` and `-sPROXY_TO_PTHREAD`
+- Requires `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin`
+- Requires `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp`
+
+### SIMD
+- Mandatory (`-msimd128`)
+- Requires Chrome/Edge 113+ or Firefox 89+
+- ~2-4x performance improvement for image operations
+
+### Networking (via POSIX sockets proxy)
+- Uses `-lwebsocket.js` and `-sPROXY_POSIX_SOCKETS`
+- Requires WebSocket proxy server
+- Start with: `deno task start:proxy`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build fails with "emcc not found"
+- Install Emscripten SDK: https://emscripten.org/docs/getting_started/downloads.html
+- Activate SDK: `source /path/to/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh`
+
+### Build fails with "meson not found"
+- Install Meson: `pip install meson`
+
+### SIDE_MODULE too large (>200KB)
+- Use minimal build: `deno task build:minimal`
+- Use size optimization: `OPTIMIZE=size deno task build:minimal`
+
+### MAIN_MODULE fails to load
+- Check browser console for errors
+- Verify COOP/COEP headers are set
+- Test with: `deno task demo`
