Three catalog tests leave for the host proofs that now carry them; the catalog goes from 106 to 103. - cooling.report-channel. forgectrl's tests/host_routes.sh (e69d967) runs the channel against a live daemon: a run report with the controller's secret writes exhaust 65535; no secret, a wrong secret and a short secret are 403 and the duty file is unchanged; an accepted idle while the ring still reads running writes 32768; the secret dies with the controller. cool_report_test.py and super_test case L own the secret, and cooling.fans-quiet-after-motion owns the live M8/M9 return to the idle duty. The forged Host: localhost was the same secret refusal. - events.stream. events_test.c owns the hello, the replacement, and motors.released; host_routes.sh owns the live cap (three peers held, a fourth 503, GET /settings 200 beside them, closing one admitting the next). forgectrl.lease and exthost.events still cover src/events.*, and _EventStream stays for forgectrl.lease. - setup.what-changed. setup_test holds tray -> laser.focus and fan -> airflow under the image's table beside tube -> laser.floor; host_routes.sh holds /wiz/changed (403, 400) and that every step the menu names is one GET /wiz lists. src/setup.* and src/wiz.* stay covered by the other setup tests, and help.js, panel.js and index.html by camera.key-read. preserved() and flag_of() go with it; recommended() stays. tests/test_setup_suite.py drops setup.what-changed from the id list, the takeover list and the covers lookup, and its flag_of case keeps only the recommended() assertion. test_setup_suite.py passes (36 tests). The coverage lint on the tree manifest finds no uncovered path across the 103 tests; its one finding is setup.check-lens's empty src/lensfind.* entry, which the forgectrl pin bump clears. pyflakes on the four files reports only the unused t0 in cooling.py that HEAD already has. The full forgetest suite was not run. Fingerprints: the cuts change the shared text of suite/cooling.py, suite/forgectrl.py and suite/setup.py, so 56 of the 103 tests' implementation hashes move (cooling 12, setup 26, forgectrl 5, and exthost 13 through its import of suite/forgectrl.py). The next forgectrl pin bump already owes 54 of them; exthost.platform and setup.machine-name are the two it adds. releases/ is 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.
