The documentation site, docs.forgefirm.org, is the one home for the
developer documentation. BUILD.md, kas/README.md, and docs/ACCEPTANCE.md
are on the site under Developers, and they are deleted here. Every
reference points at the site: README.md, BRINGUP.md, UPDATE-SYSTEM.md,
the kas configuration comments, release.sh, the CI workflow comments, and
the releases, forgetest, and bench READMEs.
BRINGUP.md: "Next work" item 16, step timing under CPU contention, is
closed; the video work resolved it. The items after it are renumbered.
CAMPAIGN-LOG.md records the closure.
Documentation and comments only. No layer content changes, so the
manifest identity of the next image does not change. No catalog
consequence.
scripts/acceptance-gate.py recomputes every catalog test's domain fingerprint
from /etc/forgefirm-manifest.json inside the release rootfs and requires the
committed releases/v<version>/acceptance.json to carry a matching PASS
(inherited results not core and newer than the invalidate epoch; the artifact
self-hashed; the catalog identical to the tree). release.sh runs it after the
build and stages the artifact as a release asset; FORGEFIRM_ACCEPTANCE_SKIP=1
bypasses loudly. scripts/manifest-from-tree.py builds the same manifest from
the recipe pins with git for CI and the workstation; forgetest-ci.yml runs the
unit tests and enforces the coverage lint (every manifest path covered by some
test). docs/ACCEPTANCE.md is the contract; the coverage currency rule and the
status live in BRINGUP.
- 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.
- Controllers stop at K80, before forgectrl at K90: runlevel 0/6 no
longer tears down the cooling engine, fire gates, and broker while a
controller may still be executing a job.
- The grblhal/gfcloud init scripts are real emergency levers: stop
routes through the supervisor (POST /controller/stop - a bare pkill
was safed and respawned seconds later), start resumes supervision,
status exists, and the pkill fallback matches full executable paths
instead of truncated names or bare substrings.
- slotmigrate: the partition grow gets the same 2048-sector tolerance
as the filesystem branch (an exact compare rewrote the MBR at S02 on
every boot on disks where the grow cannot land on the last sector),
verifies it made progress, and the resize2fs retry is bounded at
three attempts with the counter kept on p3 itself.
- Installer: archive product/platform are verified after the signature,
and a validly signed OLDER release now requires an explicit yes
instead of installing as a silent downgrade. All predictable /tmp
paths in the installer and ffboot are mktemp now.
- release.sh rejects multiple positional versions (the last one used to
win silently) and a release without factory-era verification dies
unless explicitly bypassed; mkfw.sh refuses to pack when the public
key for the post-sign self-check is missing.
- forgefirm-logrotate: size-capped rotation (boot + hourly) for the
/data logs - a full /data breaks settings, update staging, and the
controllers own writes.
- Bench build scripts derive every path from their own location or
FF_SRC_TOP/FF_BUILD_TOP and log to mktemp files.
- Move the passwordless-root debug-tweaks image feature out of the
shared kas config into forgefirm-image-dev.bb, so the release
forgefirm-image built from the same config is not passwordless-root.
release.sh gains a gate that reads the built rootfs /etc/shadow and
fails on an empty root password, plus a config-level guard that
debug-tweaks is not present in the resolved kas dump. (B-1)
- The installer copies ffboot out of the signature-verified new rootfs
it already mounts, instead of fetching and executing it from a mutable
GitHub raw ref. (B-2)
- Record audit remediation Phase 2 (GATE B) status in BRINGUP.md,
including the bench pass still required to close the gate.
Gates (clean tree, version single-source across FORGEFIRM_RELEASE /
rootfs stamp / .fw meta-version / tag, rootfs-vs-slot size with early
warning, installer-embedded pubkey must match the signing key,
factory-era fwup verification of the packed archive), then build,
pack, sign, checksum, and stage forgefirm.fw + sha256sums.txt +
forgefirm-image-glowforge.rootfs.wic.gz with the gh publish command
(--publish runs it where gh is authenticated). release.sh --dev packs
a dev-key-signed forgefirm-dev.fw from the release rootfs for the GUI
upload path. Signing keys are always passed explicitly - no defaults.
kas/README release order and the plan doc updated to match.
