* A **web control panel** on port 8080: machine status and position, coolant
and fan telemetry, safety-switch states, camera view, machine settings,
hardware diagnostics, firmware updates, and boot-slot management.
* **Unified logging**: every ForgeFIRM component logs through syslog into its
own directory under `/data/log/forgefirm`, with per-logger levels for the
device and for an optional remote syslog server, a live viewer in the
panel, and a one-click log bundle — sanitized of identifying details — for
attaching to an issue report.
* Both **cameras** as MJPEG streams and full-resolution snapshots — the lid
camera feeds LightBurn's camera overlay directly.
* **Camera-referenced homing**: `$H` from any sender runs the factory-style
camera homing cycle through the Glowforge service (a Glowforge account and a
live service session are required for `$H`; everything else in GRBL mode
runs without them), and the machine records where it is.
* **Installs alongside the factory firmware** in the unused A/B rootfs slot,
archiving every factory version first, so the machine can be switched back
to stock at any time without the Glowforge cloud.

## Roadmap
* Limit-switch homing as an alternative to camera-referenced homing.
* Camera lens calibration and bed alignment for the LightBurn overlay.
* Capture support for the 8 MP (OV8856) camera modules.
* Cloud mode: stream jobs into the motion ring during the run, lifting the
job-length cap that buffering the whole job imposes.
