Description

I think this broke after webpack was added. There may be a fix using https://webpack.js.org/loaders/worker-loader/ and possibly also symlinks though I've tried linking to worker_scripts/util.js and worker_scripts/mat.js (not entirely clear if these are files are totally necessary) in the www/ directory and that hasn't worked.

Research direction
Investigate the webpack configuration to understand why threadedRidge broke. Look at the web worker setup using worker loader. Check files worker scripts/util.js and worker scripts/mat.js for symlinking in www/. Review the webpack config file and verify worker loader configuration. Also check GitHub PRs or issues for similar fixes.
