ForgeFIRM's own files live under /data/forgefirm; two configuration
files did not. The machine settings sat at /data/forgefirm.conf, in the
root of /data beside the factory's own files, and the cloud-mode
configuration sat at /data/etc/gfhome.conf, inside a directory the
factory owns. Both move:
/data/forgefirm.conf -> /data/forgefirm/forgefirm.conf
/data/etc/gfhome.conf -> /data/forgefirm/gfhome.conf
There is no migration: only the bench has ever run this firmware.
/data/etc now holds only the factory's wpa_supplicant.conf.
The acceptance check of the file modes reads the settings file at its
new path, and the two bench tools that read it directly follow. The
pins move to the revisions that carry the change, forgectrl also
bringing the fix that reads the module's disabled state as idle:
forgectrl 468ee21 (0.1.12)
grblhal-glowforge 9ee624b (0.1.10)
forgefirm-app 56f134a (0.1.28+git)
The lock moves meta-openglow to b7ad6d9, which pins python3-gfhardware
on the same revision. The four upstream layers stay where they were:
`kas lock --update` moves every floating repository, and a release is
not the place to take poky, meta-openembedded and meta-freescale along
for the ride.
The three components carry documentation-only commits: the README
becomes an index card, AGENTS.md lands, and the comments that pointed at
the retired BRINGUP.md now point at the documentation site.
The pins move because the tree is already past the image that
20260907224817 built: a comment in the kernel config fragment
glowforge.cfg changed the meta-glowforge-bsp layer content hash, which
the manifest counts as a platform change. Measured against that image's
manifest: meta-forgefirm and meta-openglow-core are unchanged,
meta-glowforge-bsp is not. A fresh image build and a full acceptance
campaign therefore precede any release, and holding these pins back
would buy nothing.
Verified: every pinned revision is on its public remote, and
bitbake -c fetch resolves all of them.
forgectrl 0.1.6 (b1eee4d): the xy_microsteps setting and the quiet hold route.
grblhal-glowforge 0.1.5 (48d5f1d): the XY scale, tick and stop ramp derived
from the microstep mode, plus the producer lead ceiling.
forgefirm-app 0.1.25+git (d1c47b8): the checked header keys note; the
python3-gfhardware pin in meta-glowforge-bsp moves with it.
Fetch-verified with bitbake -c fetch. Pin bump only: the acceptance
consequence is the catalog invalidation the manifest already derives.
forgectrl 8ef9509 at 0.1.2, grblhal-glowforge 2f5edee at 0.1.2, and the
forgefirm-app recipes at dd0ebf3, 0.1.23+git. These are the sources the
full campaign on image 20260903211413 passed against, now that their
repositories are pushed and the build no longer needs the local overlay.
The audit remediation's commits and the bench session's fixes in the
three repositories, pushed and bench-proven on image 20260902144848
(built from the same commits through a local pin overlay). Each PV
moves with its SRCREV; the manifest records the PV.
The service-protocol half of the cloud catalog on its own test: the cloud
client restarted as gfutilities' emulator under the /run/gfcloud-emulate
marker signs in, passes the firmware check, opens the WebSocket, answers
the connect-time hunt and the image requests with the dev image's canned
frames, and runs a print from the app through the real download path to
':completed' - nothing moves, nothing arms, and only the app has to be
driven, by a person or an agent through the prompt API. The real client
is restarted afterward and its hunt waited out. session_live now knows
the emulator's session is not the machine's, so enter_cloud restarts it
rather than reusing it; restart_client is the one restart the offline
and emulator entries share.
The dev image adds python3-gfutilities-emulator (the fixtures, packaged
on their own in meta-openglow); forgefirm-app moves to 12ad3b1 (gfcloud
--emulate). Catalog: 44 tests, 27 auto / 9 operator / 8 live; the new
test covers the gfutilities service layer and examples/, which step 4
will take off the other cloud tests. Replays over the prompt script;
contract and BRINGUP updated. A layer change (the dev image recipe):
everything re-requires on the next image.
The same python3-gfhardware commit meta-openglow pins; the cloud client
learns the offline service (actions on /run/gfcloud-offline.sock, no
web session) for the acceptance tests.
forgectrl pin b27398a: the SoC die joins the watched board temperatures
(/status temps soc_c and the kernel's CPU cooling state soc_throttle,
the Status tab, the per-job range line naming a throttle), a throttle
starting or ending is logged, and the supply sensor stays a raw count by
decision (its heatsink cannot be reached with a thermometer while the
machine runs). forgefirm-app pin e65cfc2 (0.1.16+git): every pulse-header
key without an applier is declared with its reason or counted as
undecided in the job log, and CLOUD.md carries one disposition table for
the whole header.
BRINGUP: the pulse-header envelope item is closed. Its durable content is
in the facts bank ("The factory's envelope, decoded": the mandatory tags,
the empty tach windows, the factory's pause and fail tiers, the
per-sensor units, the unarmed flow controller, and ForgeFIRM's answer
with its catalog proofs) and in the "Deliberately not gated" paragraph,
which names every declared family. Item 19 is now the bench-measured
head crash and rail-contact detector; the fire-watch item holds the
header's lid IR thresholds as its prior. The facts bank also records the
SoC's own thermal guard (85 C passive, 90 C critical, no heatsink on the
factory board) and the board temperatures at idle.
Catalog: cooling.gate-off checks the die field, the unthrottled state at
idle and the widened run-end line (the unit fake mirrors it). COOLING
section 9 and the SERVICES verification status describe the present.
The acceptance catalog gains the test behind forgectrl 5a31d66: an
exhaust floor at the legal maximum must trip AIRFLOW after the grace and
three ticks (hold, fire blocked, no resume, the exhaust gate TRIPPED and
named in the reason); a purge current floor at the ADC rail must trip
the same way; an exhaust floor of zero must read off in gates_off and
trip nothing; restored, the next session must run OK with every fan at
or above its floor. Three host cases against a scripted engine that
models the grace and the readings. The covers map names src/airflow.*.
COOLING.md gains 3a (the airflow gates) and the five settings with their
ranges and bands; SERVICES.md the gate rule, the rows, the AIRFLOW
verdict and fan_gates; SAFETY.md names the floors among the verdict's
inputs; BRINGUP item 19 records the gates as in with provisional floors
and the catalog at 44. Pins: forgectrl 5a31d66, forgefirm-app 81027ff
(0.1.15+git); fetch-verified.
The pulse header's envelope now reaches the cooling engine: the cloud
client (python3-gfhardware c34faa1) derives the coolant window and the
fans' minimum speeds from the header and rides them on every report,
and the engine (forgectrl 57f6064) resolves each as the stricter of its
setting and the job's, never looser and never overruling an off gate.
cloud.pause-resume, which runs a real print, now also reads the client's
"job limits from the header:" line and the engine's "effective limits:"
line from the two logs; two host cases cover the failure paths. The
needle guard lists the engine's phrases as not the app's.
COOLING.md section 2 explains what a cloud job brings with it; BRINGUP
item 19 records the pass-through as landed. Pins: forgectrl 57f6064,
forgefirm-app c34faa1 (0.1.14+git); fetch-verified.
The full acceptance campaign on dev image 20260821181036, the first built on
the <recipe>-pin.inc layout, satisfied 42 of 42 and its export authorizes a
release, so the status header, the acceptance section and item 12 describe
that rather than a campaign still owed; the catalog count is 42, not 35.
CAMPAIGN-LOG records the completion. Item 7 stops listing the cloud work the
campaign closed (the oversize live print, the progress bar watched from the
app, packaged-path cloud boot, the lid flash), records the operator's
declines (SPKI pinning, emulator parity, the ten-event pause machine) and the
reasoned memory guards, and item 19 no longer lists MCsn and PDfm as
unchecked: the client refuses both, so seventeen mandatory tags are dropped,
not nineteen.
forgefirm-app pin moves to b82d379 (python3-gfhardware): CLOUD.md and three
present-tense comments, no behavior change. No catalog consequence beyond the
pin bump itself, which the manifest scopes to the component.
Both recipes pin the same repository and the pin files say to move them
together. Documentation only on this side: the cloud doc now records what
the factory enforces from the pulse header, and what it does not.
cloud.lid-abort now proves the park with the machine's own counters
(cloud clears them at every job start, so a completed park reads back
at (0,0)); stale ring bytes replayed ahead of the park would not.
The lid/button/interlock parity change (BRINGUP item 16): the arm wait
and a running job cancel on lid or interlock the factory's way, the
button pauses/resumes, lid_policy and the cloud pause tick settings.
Cloud tests cloud.* and the new motion/laser lid tests cover the
components; the python3-gfhardware / gfutilities pins move with this in
meta-openglow.
A component pin bump counted as a platform change: the layer content hash
in the platform identity covered the recipe carrying the SRCREV, the
platform is folded into every acceptance fingerprint, so every image
that carried any component update invalidated the whole catalog (dev
image 20260816191951: every test domain-changed after a one-line
forgectrl bump; the two manifests differ only in
platform.layers.meta-forgefirm). The component entry already identifies
the pinned source file by file; the pin double-counted it.
Component pins now live in <recipe>-pin.inc (SRCREV and the PV that
moves with it, nothing else) - forgectrl, grblhal-glowforge and
forgefirm-app here, the BSP components in meta-openglow - and
forgefirm-image-manifest.bbclass leaves *-pin.inc out of the layer
content (FORGEFIRM_MANIFEST_PIN_SUFFIX). Recipe bodies, patches, config
fragments, init scripts and third-party pins with no manifest entry stay
layer content; a pin written into a recipe body still hashes (the safe
direction). manifest-from-tree.py mirrors the rule and reads pins
through the recipe's requires; test_tree_manifest.py proves both
(pin bump: hash unchanged; recipe body or inline pin: changed).
Bitbake resolves the same SRCREV/PV for every pinned recipe.
Docs: ACCEPTANCE.md (what layer content is), kas/README.md (the pin
files in the push order), BRINGUP.md (the finding and the bench
consequence: the first image built with the pin files is itself a
platform change, so its campaign is a full one; pin bumps inherit
after it).
No catalog consequence: nothing in the image's behavior changes; the
change is to the acceptance identity computation, proven by the unit
tests and the CI lint on the tree manifest.
