Four catalog tests leave for the host proofs that carry them; the catalog goes from 103 to 99. - setup.gate-blocks-controllers, setup.advisories-rehash, setup.extensions-consent and setup.cloud-disabled-surface. forgectrl's tests/host_setup.sh (91d30f1) runs the four HTTP proofs against the built daemon with the controller up: each reason the gate holds on and the live fan-count close and reopen; the first-run advisories, their hashes, and an acceptance that takes the press back; the extensions' advisory, its five refusals, and the consent; and every cloud selection refused while cloud mode is off, POST /mode included. builtin_test.c holds the cloud sweep, sha256_test.c the digest, and settings_dir_test.c the search bit the consent adds to the data directory. - gate_is_open and _GATE_COVERS go with the gate test, ADVISORY_DOCS and the hashlib import with the rehash; nothing else calls them. The record builders, REQUIRED_STEPS, SAFETY_PHRASE, Restore and request stay. - The requires that named them: _FIRST_RUN_REQUIRES held only the two deleted ids and goes, so setup.first-run-flow requires nothing from it and setup.first-run-page requires setup.first-run-flow alone; exthost.service keeps exthost.platform. - Coverage: HOST_TESTED rows for forgectrl src/sha256.* (tests/sha256_test.c) and src/builtin.* (tests/builtin_test.c), both run by forgectrl's build.yml at the pinned revision. docs/advisories/** stays behavioral: setup.first-run-flow, which accepts them, covers safety-and-risk.md, licenses.md, privacy.md and cloud-service.md, and exthost.service, which turns extensions on over it, covers extensions.md. - tests/test_setup_suite.py drops the four ids from the id list and the takeover list, the gate test's precheck assertion (the method now names the intake prechecks only), and CloudDisabledSurfaceTests, with the imports only that class used; the docstring no longer describes it. test_setup_suite.py passes (32 tests). The coverage lint on the tree manifest finds no uncovered path and no host-tested row problem across the 99 tests; its one finding is setup.check-lens's empty src/lensfind.* entry, which the forgectrl pin bump clears. pyflakes is clean on the four files. The full forgetest suite was not run. Fingerprints: deleting the four functions changes suite/setup.py's shared text, so 35 of the 99 tests' implementation hashes move: every remaining test in setup.py (10), and the modules that import it at module level, setup_dark (9), setup_burns (2), bedsize (1), exthost (9), extcall (1), extsender (1), extwizard (1), and extcat (1, through its import of exthost). The next forgectrl pin bump already owes 33 of them; exthost.platform and setup.machine-name are the two it adds. releases/ and TEST-AUDIT.md are unchanged.
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.
