_KEY_RX took an opening quote and a closing quote each on its own, so a key with one stray quote read as the bare key: `push":` and `pull_request':` counted as push and pull_request, where YAML reads the keys `push"` and `pull_request'`, which are no events; a step's `run": ...` counted as its run command, and `uses": actions/checkout@v4` as a checkout. A HOST_TESTED row whose workflow was spelled so passed the lint, while that workflow runs on no push and runs no such step. _KEY_RX now reads a quote only as a matched pair. A key with one stray quote is no key the lint reads, and where the lint reads keys it counts as running nothing: an event key spelled so makes the `on:` name no event, and one at the top level, at a job's name or key, or at a step's key below its dash line makes every step of the workflow count as no step (each carries "unread", which _on_every_run refuses). So a step's `if": false` still keeps the step from counting, as it did under the loose reading, and under a `jobs":` top level, where a job's `if: false` goes unread, no step counts either. The HOST_TESTED comment says so. The lint only lists more: a workflow with no such key reads as before. 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. test_the_events_a_workflow_runs_on gains an `on:` with `push":`, and one with `push:` and `'pull_request:`, each naming no event, and test_a_step_counts_only_when_every_run_of_the_workflow_runs_it_and_its_failure_fails_the_run gains a step with `if": false`, a step with `run": ./build/tray_test`, a job with `if": false` and a `jobs":` top level, none of them running the test. Negative controls on scratch copies: _KEY_RX as it was fails the `run":` step and the `push":` event; the matched pairs with no stray-quote rule fail the `if": false` step and the second `on:`; the rule at a step's keys alone fails the job's `if": false`. The 17 workflows of the tree's repositories (211 steps) read to the same events and steps before and after the change. The coverage lint on the tree manifest from the recipe pins reports 0 uncovered paths, 0 host-tested row problems, 43 tests. pyflakes reports no undefined name. Acceptance: none. forgetest is dev-only and in no fingerprint (the source_sha of 43 of 43 tests is unchanged); the lint runs in CI, not in a campaign, and 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.
