Over three months, Boson Projets contributed to IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell by developing features that improved error handling, build stability, and material data accessibility. They built a Pyodide fatal error demonstration page using HTML and JavaScript to aid debugging workflows, and stabilized WebAssembly builds for Pyodide targets by refining CMake-based build scripts, dependency management, and packaging processes. Their work included adding reproducibility tests in Python and HTML to catch missing schema files, enhancing reliability for client-side workflows. Additionally, Boson implemented Python utilities to retrieve material profiles and layers for IFC elements, supporting more robust material management and analysis within the repository’s data structures.

Monthly summary for 2025-11 (IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell): Delivered a new material utilities capability to retrieve material profiles and layers for IFC elements, enabling better material management and analysis within the IFC schema. This work improves data accessibility and paves the way for richer analytics on building materials.

In Sep 2025, the IfcOpenShell team stabilized and hardened WebAssembly (WASM) builds for Pyodide targets, delivering consolidated build fixes and robust dependency management. Work focused on packaging and discovery of schema files, and aligning library paths for WASM targets (CGAL, OCCT, Eigen3, libxml2) with Pyodide packaging. We introduced explicit path handling and packaging refinements to improve determinism and reduce build failures. A reproducibility testing cadence was added to capture missing schema files in WASM builds (Python and HTML), enabling faster debugging and regression prevention. Overall, this work enhances client-side usability, reliability, and maintainability of the WASM workflow. Technologies demonstrated include Pyodide/WASM, CMake-based build tuning, explicit dependency/path management, packaging (MANIFEST.in), and test automation.

June 2025: Delivered a Pyodide Fatal Error Demonstration Page in IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell to aid error handling debugging. The page demonstrates a fatal error when loading a non-existent model type via Pyodide and initializes IfcOpenShell for realistic testing. No major bugs fixed this month; main value is improved error visibility and faster debugging for QA and developers. Skills showcased include HTML/JS, Pyodide integration, IfcOpenShell initialization, and debugging/testing.
