The docstring of the case that holds the refusal said that the
manifest check alone passes a bundle truncated after the unreadable
member, and a comment on the member's directory said that it sorts
after license.manifest. Neither is the mechanism. tar reports an error
that it cannot open the member, skips it, writes every other member
and the end of the archive, and exits nonzero only at its end, a
status the former pipeline lost. Where the member sorts does not
matter. The docstring now says that tar skips the member and the
manifest check alone passes the bundle without it, and the comment is
gone.
Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest), on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12 as an
unprivileged user: test_image.py's PackLicensesTests, 5 tests OK. With
the pack script as it was before 03146a1, the case fails with the
member under zlib/ and with it under aaa/ (exit status 0 both times);
with the script as it is, both placements pass. At the shell, on a
fixture tree with the unreadable member under aaa/ and then under
zlib/, the script as it was exits 0 both times after "Cannot open:
Permission denied", writes a bundle that holds every other member
(zzz/generic_Last, which sorts last, included), and removes the tree.
Text only, so no negative control applies to the change itself.
pyflakes reports no undefined name.
Acceptance: none. tests/ are in no fingerprint.
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.
