The acceptance test for forgectrl's GET /events. The daemon counts event streams per peer address, so the test is several peers at once: it binds its client sockets to 127.0.0.2 through 127.0.0.5, which are all this host. Three streams must each get 200, text/event-stream, and the hello event; a fourth address must get 503 with the reason while GET /settings still answers; a second stream from the first address must be served, and the older one must get bye and the end of its response; POST /motion/release and /motion/energize must arrive on a stream that was open all along as motors.released and motors.energized, in order, with ids that count up; and with every stream closed a place must come back within 25 s, since a closed client is only noticed at the daemon's next write to it (its keep-alive). The SSE client was run against a host-built daemon before any bench time was spent, which found two defects in it: its reads blocked for the socket timeout, not the window the caller asked for, and a replaced stream ends with the last chunk of the response, not with the socket closing. Passes on the bench reference: the fourth stream refused in words, the replacement told and ended, alarm, motors.released, and motors.energized as ids 1 to 3, and a place back 3 s after every stream closed. It covers forgectrl's src/events.*, src/main.c, src/status.*, and src/grblport.*.
OpenGlow / ForgeFIRM firmware for Glowforge
BETA
ForgeFIRM is in beta. Every release below 0.1.0 is a beta release. Expect problems, and expect frequent updates. Upgrade whenever a newer release is available, and report what you find on the community forum.
Open firmware for Glowforge brand CNC lasers. ForgeFIRM replaces the cloud-dependent factory software on the stock control board, with no hardware modification, and gives the machine a local controller, a local web control panel, and a standard Grbl interface. The factory cloud experience stays available as an option.
This repository is the base of the build and of the release: the
meta-forgefirm Yocto layer, the kas configuration, the image recipes, the
install and release scripts, the acceptance tool (forgetest/), the bench
tools (scripts/bench/), the bench actuator firmware (fixture/), and the
release artifacts (releases/).

Build
kas build kas/forgefirm-glowforge.yml
Build covers the host setup, the two images, the source variant and the debug kernel. Release flow covers the pins, the push order and the signing pipeline.
Test
cd forgetest && python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
The acceptance catalog that gates a release, and the bench tools, are on Acceptance and The bench.
Contributing
AGENTS.md carries the rules for this repository and for the project: safety ordering, proof before done, the push order, and the writing rules. They apply to human contributors too, and Contribute is the same set on the site.
What this costs
Nothing. ForgeFIRM is free in both senses, under MIT and GPL licenses. There is no paid tier, no license key, no subscription and no Pro edition. If someone offers to sell it to you, the licenses allow it, but what you take home is their build rather than this one: get it from the source.
Safety
These machines contain a CO2 laser: it burns, blinds, and starts fires. Never defeat the lid switches or the interlock. Never leave a running job unattended. Keep a fire extinguisher within reach. Read Safety before you cut your first job, and Regulatory and legal before you install.
This is experimental software. Use of it could seriously maim or kill you or others, and it may void your warranty. Use it at your own risk.
