HOST_TESTED carried forgectrl's src/button.* and src/led.* against host_setup.sh, which presents the button as a held word in a fake switches file and no LED at all. Both are driven on the machine by catalog tests that still run: the fuse view forgectrl.auth reads is two-factor, the token and the physical button (main.c cb_fuse_identity through operator_present, button.c); the setup checks' press prompts read the button and light it through led.c, and setup.check-switches reads both back. manifest.py's own rule puts a path a catalog test exercises on the hardware in that test's covers, not in a row: in a row it is in no fingerprint, so a change to the button's poll, its debounce or the LED release moved nothing and every PASS was inherited past it. - manifest.py: the two rows go (src/hooks.h stays: main.c's hook declarations, proven through the setup routes on a host). - suite/forgectrl.py: src/button.* joins _COVERS_AUTH. - suite/setup_dark.py: src/button.* and src/led.* join DARK_COVERS, the covers of every setup check. The laser tests judge the LED by the target the controller writes (glowforge_laser.c button_led), so led.c is not theirs. Proof: the coverage lint, enforced, on the tree manifest from the current pins: 0 uncovered paths, 0 host-tested row problems, 43 tests. tests/test_manifest.py (34) and the unit suite pass. Acceptance: the fingerprints of forgectrl.auth and of every setup check move; a release campaign runs them again.
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.
