Each left after its host cases passed (forgectrl 1dc85f6) and with the coverage lint clean at the pins, its only failure the known setup.check-lens entry on src/lensfind.*: - forgectrl.tokens: host_routes.sh's scoped tokens (a route refused to a token not given it, neither token in the list or the store), with tokens_test and auth_scoped_test. - update.product-gate: host_update.sh's product gate on the upload, with fwproduct_test. - setup.first-run-page: tests/wizard_walk.py. - setup.check-sensors, setup.check-intakes, setup.check-cameras, setup.check-flow-verify, setup.check-envelope, setup.floor: host_setup.sh's checks and the floor burn, with wizcalc_test. envelope_test.py's cases are unchanged. setup.floor's emission stays with setup.focus and laser.emission-witness. - motion.job: jobpost_test, with jobrun_test and lease_test; jobpost.* is covered by exthost.motion-job, which stays. - exthost.motion-jog: host_routes.sh's credential case. Two HOST_TESTED rows, each a binary forgectrl's build.yml runs at the pin c274f19 that proves the path the lint named: src/fwproduct.* to fwproduct_test, src/grblport.* to grblport_test. exthost.motion-job now requires motion.jog-roundtrip in place of motion.job. bedsize.py held setup.check-envelope alone and goes; forgectrl.py loses _words_of and its hw import, motion.py the job runner's helpers, setup_burns.py FLOOR_KEY and FLOOR_KEYS. forgetest's own tests: test_setup_dark.py loses the sensors and intakes judges and the departed ids; test_setup_burns.py loses the floor's cases, and the guards burn() and preview_ok() hold for the focus burn (the program's tail and reach, the thickness in inches and the one refused, a prompt not answered, the witnesses) run on setup.focus. Stay: forgectrl.auth (the fuse view's button refusal on the real button); forgectrl.settings-bounds (the lid lamp: cam.c writes /sys/glowforge/pic/lid_led, not under GF_SYSFS_ROOT); forgectrl.panel-serves (src/ui.h, which no binary at the pin proves; Z inside the lens reach is setup.check-lens's); logs.routing; setup.account-login (the account's render and its home, image content); setup.ssh-until-reboot (src/paths.h); setup.machine-name (udhcpc -x hostname and no mDNS responder, image content); setup.first-run-flow (src/button.*, led.*, advisories.*, hooks.h and the four advisory documents); exthost.motion-job (jobpost.*, which no binary at the pin proves). Proof: the coverage lint, 55 tests; pyflakes; test_setup_burns, test_setup_dark, test_takeover_position and test_image (54 OK). Shared text moved the fingerprints of exthost.armed-freeze, exthost.platform, exthost.service, forgectrl.auth, forgectrl.panel-serves, forgectrl.settings-bounds, laser.armed-kill, laser.emission-witness, laser.pause-resume-lid-cancel, motion.cancel-abort, motion.deadman, motion.jog-roundtrip, motion.liveness-probe, motion.microstep-modes, motion.pacing, motion.release, motion.step-timing-under-load, setup.account-login, setup.check-airflow, setup.check-lens, setup.check-motion, setup.check-switches, setup.cloud-header-capture, setup.first-run-flow, setup.focus, setup.machine-name, setup.ssh-until-reboot and update.slots-and-signature; exthost.motion-job's own text moved with its requires.
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.
