The cases that tested a mock, a timer, a wording or a table, or that
replayed a judgment a host test already holds, leave forgetest/tests.
What catches a false PASS, keeps the bench safe, or guards the gate
stays.
- test_baseline: the fake sysfs tree is a mixin with no test_ methods,
so ExtensionFreeTests and BaselineModeTests no longer re-run
BaselineTests' 25 cases (133 runs, now 45). CoolPublishTests, the
lamp-fade cases and TransientNotLeftoverTests go; PositionDeadbandTests
keeps a reading past the band and an unreadable reading, both never
excused. Both latch-relock cases stay.
- test_fixture: MdnsTests, the three timing cases, the probe's log
wording, and nine prompt-routing variants go. A live test never runs
unattended, the arm-press opt-in, the short-press edge, the presence
press handing over the arm press, and the arm notice dropping at the
press stay (35 cases, now 21).
- test_cloud_suite: three false-PASS guards stay: the latch open at a
dark print's button, a lid stop that is not edge-driven, the kernel
refusing the resume. The guards for the latch unlocking in the hold
and a paused print resuming left with their catalog tests in 6a434bb.
The rest go, with the harness pieces and the hunt-lid fixture only
they read (41 cases, now 3).
- test_cooling_suite: GateOffTests, CriticalTierTests, FanGateTests and
FansQuietTests go with their harness; the flow verdict's log reads
stay: only the text after the offset, never an older verdict before it
(the flow-under-load false-PASS guard), a rotated log read whole.
- test_queue: RunClockTests and three ordering cases go, and refusals
are judged by a reason given, not its words; both live
acknowledgment cases stay.
- test_takeover_position: the six cases that judge the head and move
nothing stay.
- test_camera_home_return: the five cases where the head must not move
stay, and so do the three that check the hand-back jog's direction and
distance (homed, unhomed with the counters not counted twice, after
cloud mode): a wrong sign or a double count drives the head into the
gantry stops (15 cases, now 8).
- test_server: the keep-alive and ETag cases, the takeover and scope
half of the bench case, and the page's self-contained asserts
(test_page.py's) go.
- test_operator: the wording cases, the fixture case (test_fixture.py's)
and JournalTests go.
- test_mode: the supervisor timeout table goes.
- test_takeover_client: the listener, the offline service back, the
online client without the hunt, and GRBL under no marker stay.
- test_responsiveness: PageTests and ImplementationCostTests go; the
log cache keeps appends, a partial line, a replaced file and a fresh
list, and the fingerprint cache a changed manifest and one with no
content hash.
- test_bench_registry: GfbenchTests and two description and argument
pins go.
- test_installer: the log-format and TLS-wording cases and
InstallerShapeTests go; the die case checks the reason is in the log,
not its format.
- test_image: KernelIdentTests and the registration pin go.
Each file's __main__ guard now ends the file, and the docstrings say what
each still proves.
Proof: each of the fifteen files passes under Linux as forgetest-ci
discovers it, and pyflakes reports nothing new in them.
Acceptance: none; test-only.
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.
