host_row_problems' docstring gave the reason a row is listed as "a
dispatch, a call or a schedule runs on no change". A workflow on
workflow_call alone runs on every run of the workflow that calls it
(forgeext's package.yml is one); the lint lists it because it does not
follow a call to its caller. The reason it printed, "<ci> runs on no
push or pull request", was false the same way for such a workflow, and
for a flow mapping (`on: {push: ...}`) that names push. The docstrings
of _on_every_run and workflow_runs said that a step under an `if:`
other than true does not run on every run, where the lint evaluates no
condition: a step under `always()` or `success()` runs on every run and
still counts as no step. The Test page of the site says each of these
as the lint applies it.
The docstrings now say what the lint reads: a row is listed when the
workflow's own `on:` names neither push nor pull_request as the lint
reads it (a dispatch, a call or a schedule alone, a call not followed
to its caller, a flow mapping), and a step with a condition counts as
no step because the lint evaluates none. The row's reason reads "<ci>:
the lint reads no push or pull_request in its own on:". The comments
of the two cases that hold these rules say the same. No rule changes:
the same rows are listed, for the same workflows.
Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest): test_manifest.py runs 39 tests, OK, on Windows
with python 3.14 and on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12, with
test_the_workflow_has_to_run_the_host_test asserting the new reason. A
probe of host_row_problems: a workflow on workflow_call alone and one
whose flow-mapping `on:` names push are each listed with the new
reason, and a plain `on: [push]` one is not. The coverage lint on the
tree manifest from the recipe pins reports 0 uncovered paths, 0
host-tested row problems, 43 tests. pyflakes reports no undefined name.
Acceptance: none. forgetest is dev-only and in no fingerprint (the
source_sha of 43 of 43 tests is unchanged); the lint runs in CI, not in
a campaign, and tests/ are in no fingerprint.
OpenGlow / ForgeFIRM firmware for Glowforge
BETA
ForgeFIRM is in beta. Every release below 0.1.0 is a beta release. It's stable, but you may still hit the occasional bug, 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.
