exthost.ui-delivery leaves for the host proofs that carry it; the catalog goes from 92 to 91. - forgeext ui, in forgeext's tests/install_test.py (23156a4): an installed package's page comes back byte for byte as the html string, with bytes its length; an id that is not installed and a package the operator disabled are each refused in words. - forgectrl's relay of the page and the settings, in tests/extpkg_test.c on forgectrl's build.yml: the page served, a disabled package's page 404, the settings read, a value over its bound 400. The install-time mismatch between the ui capability and a page stays with forgeext's own tests. It has no glob of its own, so no HOST_TESTED row. exthost.sender-keep-out stays: forgeext carries a package's claim on the Grbl sender to the machine with the token it reads only from /run/forgefirm/ext-host.token, so run_test.py does not prove it, and suite/extsender.py is unchanged. test_setup_suite.py passes (31 tests). The coverage lint on the tree manifest finds no uncovered path and no host-tested row problem across the 91 tests; its one finding is setup.check-lens's empty src/lensfind.* entry. pyflakes reports nothing new in exthost.py. The full forgetest suite was not run. Fingerprints: exthost.py's shared text moves, so 12 tests move: the 8 left in exthost.py, and exthost.page-call, exthost.catalog, exthost.wizard and exthost.sender-keep-out in the modules that read it. The pending pin bump from c274f19 already owes 11 of them; exthost.platform is the one it adds, as before. 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.
