A HOST_TESTED row names a workflow and a host test, and the coverage lint judges the row by what the workflow's steps run. The parser stored a step's `if:` and `continue-on-error:` and read neither, read no job key, and read no `on:`. So a step under `if: false`, a step whose failure the run tolerates, a job under an `if:`, and a workflow on `workflow_dispatch` alone all counted as running the test, and a checkout under a condition counted as a checkout: a disabled or tolerated host test keeps its row green and its paths covered. The lint now reads the workflow's events and the conditions of a step and of its job. `workflow_triggers` returns the events of the `on:` mapping, list or scalar. What is under an event (its branches, its paths, a dispatch's inputs) is not an event, and a flow mapping names none. A row's workflow must run on push or pull_request, or the lint reports that it runs on no push or pull request: a dispatch or a schedule alone runs on no change, and a call alone is listed as well, since the lint does not follow it to its caller. `workflow_steps` tracks the job each step is in and carries the job's `if:` and `continue-on-error:` on the step as `job`. `_on_every_run` counts a step only when neither it nor its job carries an `if:` other than the literal `true` or a `continue-on-error:` other than the literal `false`. `workflow_runs` and `checkout_path` use it, so a conditional step runs nothing and a conditional checkout is no checkout. The reason for such a step stays "does not run it". `needs:` is not read, nor are the `paths:` and `branches:` filters of an event: the lint stays a floor there. Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s tests -v` in forgetest): test_manifest.py runs 36 tests, OK, with the two new cases, test_a_step_counts_only_when_every_run_of_the_workflow_runs_it_and_its_failure_fails_the_run and test_the_events_a_workflow_runs_on, and with test_the_workflow_has_to_run_the_host_test extended by a dispatch-only workflow and a tolerated step. Negative controls on scratch copies: `_on_every_run` forced to return True fails the step case and the host-test case (failures=2); the trigger check deleted from host_row_problems fails the host-test case (failures=1). 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 lint runs in CI, not in a campaign.
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.
