Three catalog tests leave for the host proofs that carry them; the
catalog goes from 91 to 88. Each proof passed; none skipped.
- exthost.sender-keep-out, for forgeext's run_test.py (ebdbf59): a
package granted sender.keep_out posts /v0/sender {"out": true}, the
stand-in takes it only with the host's token, and the claim is kept
fresh beside the holds, raised in the host's words, until the package
is disabled. The machine's side is forgectrl's senderout_test.
suite/extsender.py held only it: the module and its import go.
- exthost.events, for forgeext's run_test.py (ebdbf59) and forgectrl's
host_lan.sh (b272b3a): the host holds one stream while a package wants
events and lets it go when none does, a poll at the head comes back
empty at its one-second deadline, a waiting poll is answered 0.10 s
after an event; and the host's slot is a loopback peer's alone, the
same header from a LAN address leaving the host's stream open.
forgeext's evfeed_test and forgectrl's events_test hold the two
daemons' own sides. Its section header, the operator's door, held
only it, and EVENTS_MAX_STREAMS, EVENTS_HOST_HEADER and _stream, which
only it read, go with it.
- exthost.page-call, for forgeext's sdk_test.py (ebdbf59): disabled, the
page package's socket name is gone and its call is refused in the
host's words; enabled, the same call answers 200. sdk_test.py already
held the calls, their form and refusals, and the frozen service;
forgectrl's extpkg_test holds the relay. suite/extcall.py held only
it: the module and its import go.
The coverage lint then named forgectrl src/senderout.c and
src/senderout.h, and nothing else; one HOST_TESTED row takes them, to
forgectrl:tests/senderout_test.c on forgectrl:.github/workflows/build.yml,
which the pin c274f19 runs. grblhal-glowforge's src/serial.* stays
covered by a catalog test and gets no row; holdkeep, evfeed, call and
sandbox stay under exthost.service's forgeext/**, and forgectrl's
src/events.* under forgectrl.lease.
test_setup_suite.py (31) and test_manifest.py (34) pass. The coverage
lint on the tree manifest finds no uncovered path and no host-tested row
problem across the 88 tests; its one finding is setup.check-lens's
empty src/lensfind.* entry. pyflakes reports nothing on exthost.py or
manifest.py. The full forgetest suite was not run.
Fingerprints: exthost.py's shared text moves, so 9 tests move: the 7
left in exthost.py, and exthost.catalog and exthost.wizard in the
modules that read it. The pending pin bump from c274f19 already owes 8
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.
