Description

I'm trying to figure out what signatures the current source build as, and there are some dependencies to get this to build which are also in flux. One thing that could make things more easy is to add a github workflow that not just parses the files, but actually constructs wasm out of it. Personally, I want to understand some API impact with less guessing about what the signatures will end up as. It is important to be able to do this without a lot of thinking or cognitive load, and one way to minimize that is to look at a GH workflow that can successfully compile this to wasm and just copy/pasta that.

Research direction

Start by reading the current source-build setup and its dependencies, then inspect how a GitHub workflow can compile the source into WebAssembly. The work is done when the workflow successfully constructs wasm rather than only parsing files, making the resulting signatures easier to inspect for API impact.
