No case held the step of implementation_sha that adds what a test's own import imports in turn (`sibling_imports(sib, sibs)`), nor the recursion in sibling_imports itself: the judge.py of test_a_sibling_imported_inside_a_function_moves_the_tests_that_run_it imports nothing. Either line deleted kept test_manifest.py green, while on the real catalog the first drops motion.py's shared text from cloud.mode-switch's hash and setup.py's from motion.release's. The guard on the suite's package imports read the relative spelling alone: a `from forgetest import server`, an `import forgetest.server`, or a `from forgetest.suite.setup import ...` in a suite module passed it, and the sibling walk does not follow any of them, so the module they name joined no hash. The case's judge.py now imports limit.py, which imports base.py: an edit to either moves m.two and not m.one. The guard refuses any import of the package by its absolute name in a suite module, at any depth. No suite module imports the package that way. catalog.py does not change. Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s tests -v` in forgetest): test_manifest.py runs 39 tests, OK, on Windows with python 3.14 and on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12. Negative controls on scratch copies: catalog.py without `sibling_imports(sib, sibs)` in implementation_sha fails the case at the limit.py edit; the walk without its recursion fails it at the base.py edit; in suite/forgectrl.py, a `from forgetest import server` and an `import forgetest.server` inside a function, and forgectrl.auth's import of setup.py spelled `from forgetest.suite.setup import request, decode`, each fail the guard. pyflakes reports no undefined name. Acceptance: none. tests/ are in no fingerprint (source_sha of 43 of 43 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.
