The "Coverage lint (enforced)" step pipes the lint into tee for the step summary. A step with no shell: runs under bash -e with no pipefail, so the status of the step was tee's. An uncovered path, an empty covers entry, a host-tested row problem (the lint exits 1) and a manifest the lint cannot load (exit 2) each passed the job: the first three after they printed the report, the last after one error line on stderr and an empty step summary. The header of the workflow and the Testing page say that an uncovered path fails the job, and this step is the only place that runs the lint with --enforce. The run block now starts with `set -o pipefail`, so the status of the step is the lint's. The tee to the step summary stays. A comment above the block says why. Proof: the step body, read with PyYAML from this workflow and, as the control, from the workflow before this change, run under bash -e from forgefirm/forgetest of a copy of the tree on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12, GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY a file. The tree manifest from the recipe pins: both bodies exit 0 and write the summary (0 uncovered paths, 0 host-tested row problems, 43 tests). The same manifest with one uncovered forgectrl path planted: the lint reports 1 uncovered path, the former body exits 0, this one exits 1, and both write the summary. The manifest missing: the former body exits 0, this one exits 2. Acceptance: none; CI only. .github/ is outside meta-forgefirm and every covers map.
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.
