## Known Limitations (v0.2.0)
### WebAssembly Support (Partial)
- **Status**: WASM bindings implemented but full compilation blocked
- **Blocker**: Upstream dependency `scirs2-spatial v0.1.5` → `tokio` (doesn't support wasm32-unknown-unknown)
- **Workaround**: Use `wasm32-wasip1` target for server-side WASM runtimes (Wasmtime, WasmEdge)
- **Resolution**: Awaiting scirs2-spatial v0.1.6 with feature-gated tokio dependency
- **See**: `/tmp/NUMRS2_WASM_STATUS.md` for detailed analysis
### Browser WASM
- Browser-based WASM (`wasm32-unknown-unknown`) requires conditional compilation excluding spatial features
- Server-side WASM (`wasm32-wasip1`) works with current dependencies
- All WASM-specific code is ready and tested, only blocked by dependency tree
