SAFETY: the chain de-energizes itself behind a pause without being asked -
the charge-pump feed ends with the run, so HV_ENABLE drops with the watchdog
about half a second in, and on the resume it is back ~216 ms before the first
step (pad measurements). A pause is deliberately not a cancel: the latch stays
unlocked and the window open, which is what lets the next press resume the
job, while emission still ends because the stream stops driving FIRE. The
disarm grace counts down through a hold, so a job left paused disarms itself,
and a lid or interlock open while paused takes the cancel path - nothing
resumes past an enclosure opening.
LIGHTBURN: the two things an operator needs before pausing a cut - the resume
restarts from where the deceleration ended and accelerates from a standstill,
which M3 shows as a deeper spot and M4 mostly hides, and a job left paused
disarms itself and asks for the button again. Stop leaves the head where it
stopped; returning to the job start belongs to the lid and interlock policy
alone.
laser_lifecycle_test.py: the button toggle (press = Hold, press = Run;
the arming press is not a pause), lid and interlock cancel mid-job with
the return to the job start and no alarm, and lid_policy=hold.
Acceptance catalog: motion.button-hold-resume, motion.lid-cancel-home
(operator: travel job, lid open -> cancel message, banner, no alarm,
autonomous return, Idle at the start), laser.lid-cancel-mid-fire (live:
emission stops in hardware, cancelled, returned, armed=false, latch
locked, hardware button latch SET). covers name the switch and laser
sources explicitly.
LIGHTBURN.md: what the lid, Stop and the button now do; SAFETY.md: the
door policy and the button as a software layer; BRINGUP.md: item 16
records the whole parity change (host-proven, bench validation pending)
and items 4/12 point at it.
laser_lifecycle_test drives the controller's button wait through the
file-backed switch source (GF_SWITCH_FILE): a press with the lid closed
arms and nothing arms before it; the lid or the interlock loop opening
during the wait cancels the job (reason reported, alarm 3, never armed).
Acceptance catalog: laser.arm-wait-lid (operator kind - no press is
given, so nothing can fire) starts a laser job, has the operator open
the lid at the white-button prompt, and checks the cancel message,
alarm 3, armed=false, the kernel latch locked, no emission, and Idle
after $X. covers names glowforge_laser.c, glowforge_switches.c and
glowforge_switch_map.h explicitly.
LIGHTBURN.md: opening the lid or the interlock loop while the button is
lit cancels the job; a press with the lid open never arms.
- kas/README.md: the real-time rationale rests on the feeder's bounded
queue depth, not ring size; the ring is 16 MiB (~84 s at 200 kHz,
~28 min at the 10 kHz cloud tick), a capacity for cloud-mode preload.
- BUILD.md, kas config, release checklist, cold-build workflow: only
forgefirm and meta-openglow (branch scarthgap) are cloned as
siblings; every ForgeFIRM source repo is fetched by pinned SRCREV.
- UPDATE-SYSTEM.md reads as the present-state design: the cloud-mode
compatibility baseline is the cloud client's configured firmware
version, not release metadata; decisions and open items listed
plainly.
- README.md states what GRBL mode still needs the Glowforge service
for (camera-referenced homing) and what runs without it.
- BRINGUP.md: generic build-host and fwup-lab references, the retained
reproductions of the no-fire drill, the System tab.
- LIGHTBURN.md: the arm-window timeouts are machine settings.
- forgefirm-image.bb describes forgectrl as the machine-services
daemon and points at the right backlog entry.
- American spelling throughout.
BRINGUP gains the Phase 4 (stale-gate cluster) record - code-complete,
host-verified, hot-deployable, bench drills listed. LIGHTBURN.md now
describes the job-based armed window: relock at program end, on a
sender change, or after the spindle-off grace (counting even in Hold).
- LIGHTBURN.md: mandatory "Before you cut" safety section; the
walkthrough now reflects the firing machine (dry runs need the
layer output off or M5; live first-cut instructions); the homing
entry documents homing_mode and the gfcloud method; the machine
address is a placeholder.
- README.md: condensed safety section linking the full text and the
regulatory notes.
- INSTALL.md: "Regulatory and legal" section ahead of the install
steps; routine updates route through the panel updater rather than
the installer.
- BRINGUP.md: the release signing key is described as held offline
(no on-disk path); bench address and credential notes removed;
Next-work item 7 corrected (the installer embeds the production
release key); status entry for audit remediation Phases 0-1; the
GATE A kernel drills join the pending image-flash checklist.
- bench scripts: the target host comes from GF_HOST (or argv) instead
of a hardcoded address.
- laser_stream_test.py: per-session controller runs with a hermetic
cooling-verdict publisher; new assertions that every stream
terminates with FIRE clear (including M3 held to stream end) and
that no FIRE bit rides a zero-step gap; a cycle-churn session
exercises the stop/start seams.
Audit findings D-1, D-2, D-3, D-5, D-10, D-12, B-10, and the harness
half of D-4/G-1.
README: replace the stalled REST/GUI roadmap with what the firmware does -
GRBL mode over TCP for LightBurn/UGS/cncjs, optional cloud mode, the web
control panel, cameras, A/B install beside the factory firmware - plus the
supported hardware incl. the 8 MP camera limitation and a real roadmap.
kas/README: xvclk is the board's 24 MHz oscillator; the pin/push rule covers
every source repo; camera and motion sections are hardware-validated, with the
OV8856 caveat spelled out; the device-tree item closes with the control_12v
residue named; forgectrl is the machine-services daemon with two supervised
controllers.
LIGHTBURN.md: drop the pre-first-light status line.
BUILD.md: state the NXP firmware licensing and where the EULA lives on the
machine. The image now installs firmware-imx-lic, so the EULA text ships beside
the VPU/EPDC blobs it covers; a bbappend declares that package at parse time,
which is what makes it installable from an image recipe.
BRINGUP item 2: grbl-mode laser software implemented + bench-verified
without fire (record in the gate list); first light pending.
LIGHTBURN.md: arming/button-press operation, S-max 1000, fire gates.
scripts/bench/laser_stream_test.py: host-side stream-dump contract
verification against the null-sink build.
BRINGUP records the gate as complete with tach-verified results;
LIGHTBURN.md documents the per-layer Air Assist toggle driving the
cut-profile ventilation; fan_test.py joins the bench kit.
