exthost.motion-job stayed in01f5991as the bench proof of machine_host_token() on the default token path. forgeext 31cdb40, the revisionc177aabpins, makes the token file overridable (FORGEEXT_HOST_TOKEN_FILE) and keeps /run/forgefirm/ext-host.token when the variable is unset or empty. The recipe's binary from that revision (sha256 15ca6003b59f69fb9eadf686094430fbbd25e7cc177230a0417738484fe3427e) ran on the bench reference with the variable unset, and exthost.platform, exthost.service, motion.jog-roundtrip and exthost.motion-job passed on it (campaign c-20261015103714-0c91): the package's job reached the machine as job:org.forgetest.reference through the credential read from the default file. Its paths, now: - forgectrl src/jobpost.*: tests/jobpost_test.c, POST /job's multipart reader (row added). - forgectrl src/tokens.*: tests/tokens_test.c, the scoped tokens and the extension host's credential file (row added). - forgectrl src/jobrun.*: still covered by the burn tests. - forgeext src/api.*, src/machine.*, src/run.*: still covered by exthost.service's forgeext/**. Both rows name tests forgectrl's build.yml runs at the pinned 22a2cfc. No other catalog test required exthost.motion-job. exthost.py's hw import went with it. Fingerprints: every exthost test moves with the module text. The next image owes exthost.service and exthost.armed-freeze for forgeext's source change. Proof: the coverage lint over the tree manifest from the pins finds 0 uncovered paths and 0 host-tested row problems (48 tests); pyflakes on the touched files is clean; forgetest's unit suite under Linux passes (327).
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.
