LinuxCNC AXIS Web Control Panel Source Logic
Status: source-locked implementation contract
Scope: the selected XYZAC TRT Web/WASM panel and its LinuxCNC-compatible
Worker command path
Source baseline: LinuxCNC submodule 239dcf4284762ad7e9c65d390bc5524d855c2f8e
Relationship map: linuxcnc-axis-web-control-panel-source-logic.png
Reproducible graph source: linuxcnc-axis-web-control-panel-source-logic.dot
This document is the control-flow authority for the Web panel. A button is implemented only when its complete path is defined here:
browser gesture
-> React handler
-> AxisOperationController operation
-> SimSession command gate
-> LinuxCNC/WASM task, interpreter, TP or IO authority
-> canonical snapshot
-> React projection
The React state is never an authority. A rejected Worker command must remain rejected in the UI, with the source gate reason visible as the disabled-button title and in Diagnostics.
"Source parity" has a strict meaning in this document:
| Mark | Meaning |
|---|---|
SOURCE_EXACT |
Same user action, source handler, UI enable formula, command ordering and observable result as AXIS. |
SOURCE_ADAPTER |
Browser/WASM transport differs, but the accepted action and observable machine semantics are the same. Any stronger Web safety gate is stated explicitly. |
SOURCE_BLOCKED |
AXIS has the action, but the selected WASM or browser boundary cannot represent its canonical state. It stays disabled or absent and is never emulated with local state. |
WEB_EXTENSION |
No AXIS control exists. The control must be visibly and textually separated from source parity and must not alter the meaning or gate of an AXIS action. |
Only SOURCE_EXACT and SOURCE_ADAPTER count as implemented AXIS parity.
SOURCE_BLOCKED is an honest capability boundary. WEB_EXTENSION is never
evidence of parity. If this document and the pinned source disagree, the pinned
source wins and this document, its graph and the Web implementation must be
updated together.
The panel does not add a startup/run alias. The source-defined machine sequence
is explicit: release E-stop when needed, power on, home, then press the single
toolbar Run control (or the source R shortcut).
Native AXIS selects its startup program in this exact priority order:
positional command-line argument, AXIS_OPEN_FILE, [DISPLAY] OPEN_FILE, then
the built-in lathe/mill sample. The browser has no AXIS process argument or
process environment override, so the selected INI's [DISPLAY] OPEN_FILE is
the first applicable source authority. For xyzac-trt.ini it selects
./demos/xyzac_switchkins.ngc. Browser UI persistence must not insert a new
higher-priority executable source and must never schedule a hidden second
PROGRAM_LOAD after the configured file appears.
AXIS has both Machine/View menu bindings and toolbar/notebook bindings. The Web surface keeps the toolbar as the single machine-command entry point and the notebook tabs as the single view entry point. This removes duplicate buttons; the command, gate and source symbol for each retained entry are unchanged.
Source References
The primary GUI source is
linuxcnc/src/emc/usr_intf/axis/scripts/axis.py. The accepted command and
post-completion/abort behavior are also checked against
linuxcnc/src/emc/task/emctaskmain.cc; the Web panel must not stop at the
Python button handler when the LinuxCNC task layer defines an additional
transition.
Source-lock manifest
The source baseline is the submodule commit above, not a LinuxCNC version name or an approximate UI description. The two primary GUI files are additionally fingerprinted so the audit fails on an unreviewed source drift:

Source Surface Inventory
This inventory separates source controls from the smaller Web surface. A source-only or host-bound entry is documented explicitly rather than silently replaced by a different action.
| Source surface | Source entries | Web treatment |
|---|---|---|
| File menu | Open, Recent Files, Edit, Reload, Save As, Properties, Edit Tool Data, Reload Tool Data, Ladder Editor, Quit | Open and Reload are SOURCE_ADAPTER toolbar entries. Edit Tool Data and Quit are visible SOURCE_BLOCKED entries. The remaining host/file actions are recorded below and are not silently aliased. |
| Machine menu | E-stop, Power, Run, Run from selected line, Step, Pause, Resume, Stop, Optional Stop, Block Delete, MDI history actions, six desktop tools, Homing, Unhoming, ten zero-coordinate actions and two tool-touch modes | E-stop/Power/Run/Step/Pause/Resume/Stop/Home/Touch Off are represented; every omitted or ABI-blocked source action is recorded below. |
| View menu | Five preset views, inches/mm, program/rapid/alpha/live/tool/extents/offset/limit/velocity/DTG layers, grid, large DRO font, PyVCP, commanded/actual, machine/relative, joint/world and Clear Live Plot | The menu has five views; the toolbar additionally has inverted-front Y2, for six toolbar presets. Supported projections are SOURCE_ADAPTER; every omitted view action is recorded below. |
| Toolbar | E-stop, Power, Open, Reload, Run, Step, Pause/Resume, Stop, Block Delete, Optional Stop, zoom, six views, rotate, Clear Plot | Same source order and icon assets are retained for supported controls; unsupported controls are disabled with a source/ABI reason. |
| Manual notebook | Axis/joint selector, continuous/increment jog, Home Axis, Touch Off, Tool Touch Off, Override Limits, spindle direction/stop/speed/brake and coolant | XYZAC axis selector, jog, Home Axis, Touch Off, spindle and coolant are represented. Joint selection, Tool Touch Off and Override Limits are explicitly bounded by the selected configuration/ABI. Tool and probe state is read-only; Prepare/Change/Arm/Disarm are IO/HAL operations, not AXIS main-panel controls. |
| Web case strip | no AXIS equivalent | Load exact XYZAC TRT case is a Web workspace/bootstrap control, not an AXIS source button. It may only call the same documented LOAD_WORKSPACE + PROGRAM_LOAD transaction and must not introduce a second Run/Power/Home flow. |
| MDI notebook | MDI entry, Go, history selection/double-click, Up/Down history, Ctrl-M/H/Shift-H clipboard operations | Entry, Go and local history are represented; clipboard/file history operations are host/UI-only and are not sent as machine commands. |
| Help menu/dialogs | About AXIS, Quick Reference, dialog close buttons and website link | About is SOURCE_ADAPTER. Quick Reference and the external website link are not rendered; neither is mapped to a machine action. |
| Bottom controls | Linear jog speed, angular jog speed, max velocity, spindle override, feed override and rapid override | Linear jog, max velocity, spindle and feed are adapters. Angular jog and rapid override are SOURCE_BLOCKED; one must never stand in for the other. |
| Browser UI persistence | AXIS preferences do not override [DISPLAY] OPEN_FILE with executable source text |
OPFS may persist presentation preferences such as view, zoom, tabs, units and selected axis. It must not persist or automatically load G-code source/path. |
The Web surface may remove duplicate menu entries, but it may not change the meaning of a retained command. This is why Machine/View menus are not rendered when the same source action already has a toolbar or notebook entry.
Exhaustive native-action ledger
This ledger accounts for every interactive family constructed by axis.tcl or
bound by axis.py. Separators, labels, scrollbars and read-only status text are
not actions. Dynamically generated joint and grid entries are counted as
families because their cardinality comes from the selected INI.
| Native action family | Source symbols | Parity disposition |
|---|---|---|
| File Open/Recent/Edit/Reload/Save/Properties | open_file, open_file_name, edit_program, reload_file, save_gcode, gcode_properties |

Desktop-process boundary; not rendered and never mapped to Diagnostics as though it were the same action |
| Home all/joint and Unhome all/joint | home_all_joints, home_joint_number, unhome_all_joints, unhome_joint_number |
Home all/selected axis: SOURCE_ADAPTER; Unhome and joint-mode selector: SOURCE_BLOCKED |

| Grid Off/custom/INI increments, large DRO font, PyVCP, Joint/World | set_grid_size, set_grid_size_custom, toggle_dro_large_font, toggle_show_pyvcppanel, set_teleop_mode |
Not rendered; Joint/World is SOURCE_BLOCKED, presentation-only settings are not aliased |
| Clear Live Plot | clear_live_plot -> LivePlotter.clear -> positionlogger.clear |
SOURCE_ADAPTER; this is the only native live-trace deletion action |
| Axis/joint selection and jog increment | ja_rbutton, jogincrement, activate_ja_widget |
XYZAC axis and increment selection: SOURCE_ADAPTER; native joint selection is SOURCE_BLOCKED |
| Jog negative/positive and key jog | jog_minus, jog_plus, jog_on, jog_off |
SOURCE_ADAPTER; press/release semantics and Manual-tab guard apply |
| Home Axis, Touch Off, Tool Touch Off, Override Limits | corresponding zerohome/override widgets |

SOURCE_ADAPTER; source trim, mode and adjacent-history de-duplication apply |
| Linear/angular jog speed, max velocity, spindle/feed/rapid override | update_*slider_vel, set_maxvel, set_spindlerate, set_feedrate, set_rapidrate |
Linear jog/max velocity/spindle/feed: SOURCE_ADAPTER; angular jog/rapid: SOURCE_BLOCKED |

About: local adapter; Quick Reference and notification-clear are not rendered |
| Case selector/load, packaged 3D Chips, Diagnostics, pan/reset buttons, source editor | no AXIS widget equivalent | WEB_EXTENSION; may not be counted as AXIS parity |
Source Keyboard Contract
The following bindings are copied from axis.py lines 3109-3186 and
3194-3327. The source binds lowercase Tk event sequences even though Quick
Reference displays several letters in uppercase. Keys requiring an unavailable
command are blocked instead of being silently mapped to another operation.
| Key | Source handler | Web treatment |
|---|---|---|
F1, F2, lowercase o, r, t, p, s, Escape, Ctrl-r, F7-F12 |
E-stop, power, open, run, step, pause, resume, stop, reload, coolant and spindle handlers | Worker-backed commands where the corresponding control is supported. Display labels remain O/R/T/P/S. |
uppercase R, F |
task_reverse, task_forward |
Source controls are recorded as blocked because the selected WASM program ABI has no reverse/forward command; they are never mapped to Run. |
Home, Ctrl-Home, Shift-Home, End, Ctrl-End |
selected joint home, home all, zero selected G54 axis, system touch off, tool touch off | Home and system Touch Off have adapters; zero-G54 and Tool Touch Off are blocked. |
lowercase x, y, z, a |
Select the first four source axes | Axis selection adapter. Native AXIS does not bind lowercase c to C-axis selection; c selects continuous jog. C remains selectable only through its radio control. |
-, =, arrows/Page keys/[/] and their Shift variants |
jog_on_map/jog_off_map or selected-axis jog_minus/jog_plus |
Jog key semantics require keydown start and keyup stop. Pointer controls are supported; unavailable key bindings are not reassigned. |
lowercase c, lowercase i, uppercase I |
Continuous, next incremental and previous incremental jog modes | Represented by the jog increment selector; no second machine-mode state is created. |
`, digits 0-9 |
Select joints in joint mode; otherwise set feed override from 0% to 100% | Joint-mode selection is blocked. Feed changes, if bound, must use the same mode-dependent meaning. |
,/.; </>; ;/' |
Linear jog speed; angular jog speed; maximum velocity | Linear jog/max velocity have adapters; angular jog speed is blocked and must not alias linear speed. |
v, d, !, @, #, $ |
Cycle view, rotate, units, display type, coordinate type, teleop mode | View/rotate/units/display/coordinate actions are projected; teleop mode is explicitly unavailable. |
uppercase B, lowercase b |
brake_on, brake_off |
Must preserve the distinct source edges; Quick Reference describes them as Shift-B/B. |
Ctrl-K |
clear_live_plot |
Worker visual-only VISUAL_CLEAR. |
Ctrl-S, Ctrl-M/H/Shift-H, F3, F4, F5, Ctrl-Space |
Save G-code, MDI history, notebook selection and notification clear | Save/clipboard actions are host boundaries; tabs are local navigation plus their documented mode callback; notification clear has no machine effect. |
State Gates
AXIS does not have one combined RUNNING/STOPPED/READY enum. Source parity is
derived from independent LinuxCNC status dimensions; Web-friendly labels may be
displayed, but they may not replace these dimensions as gate authority.
| Source dimension | Exact values used by AXIS | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
task_state |
STATE_ESTOP, STATE_ESTOP_RESET, STATE_OFF, STATE_ON |
Machine E-stop/power state. emctask.cc::determineState() publishes only ESTOP, ESTOP_RESET or ON; STATE_OFF is an accepted command value and is documented by emcmodule.cc as not used as a stable status value. |
task_mode |
MODE_MANUAL, MODE_AUTO, MODE_MDI |
Current task command domain. |
interp_state |
INTERP_IDLE, INTERP_READING, INTERP_PAUSED, INTERP_WAITING |
Interpreter lifecycle used by axis.tcl::update_state. |
task_paused / paused |
Boolean pause projection | Used by task_resume and toolbar relief/icon projection. |
exec_state |
DONE, ERROR, motion/IO/delay/system-command wait states |
Task executor progress; it is not interchangeable with interp_state. |
motion_mode |
TRAJ_MODE_FREE, TRAJ_MODE_COORD, TRAJ_MODE_TELEOP |
Joint/world motion selection and touch-off availability. |
taskfile, homed[], on_any_limit, queued_mdi_commands, spindle[].direction |
Independent status fields | Additional source gates; none may be inferred from a React label. |
The source helper definitions are exact:
running = task_mode in {AUTO, MDI} and interp_state != IDLE
manual_ok = task_state == ON
and not running
and (interp_state == IDLE
or (task_mode == MDI
and queued_mdi_commands < max_queued_mdi_commands))
ensure_mode(m, *p) polls, returns if the current task mode is an accepted
mode, otherwise sends c.mode(m), waits for completion and polls again. It is a
command transaction, not a React state assignment and not a success check that
may be skipped.
Source-exact widget enable formulas
These expressions are copied from axis.tcl::update_state; handler and task
checks still apply after a widget is enabled.
| Native widget/family | Exact AXIS UI enable condition |
|---|---|
| E-stop | Always enabled |
| Power | task_state != STATE_ESTOP |
| Open | interp_state == INTERP_IDLE |
| Reload | interp_state == INTERP_IDLE && taskfile != "" |
| Run | task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state == INTERP_IDLE |
| Step | task_state == STATE_ON && taskfile != "" |
| Pause menu | task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state in {INTERP_READING, INTERP_WAITING} |
| Resume menu | task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state == INTERP_PAUSED |
| Pause/Resume toolbar | task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state != INTERP_IDLE |
| Stop | task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state != INTERP_IDLE |
| Run from selected line | task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state == INTERP_IDLE && highlight_line != -1 |
| Homing/Unhoming/Zero-coordinate menus | task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state == INTERP_IDLE |
| Manual group | task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state == INTERP_IDLE |
| MDI group | task_state == STATE_ON && queued_mdi_commands < max_queued_mdi_commands |
| Touch Off | `task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state == INTERP_IDLE && (motion_mode != TRAJ_MODE_FREE |
| Tool Touch Off | Touch Off condition plus a loaded tool |
| Override Limits | on_any_limit |
| Spindle slower/faster | task_state == STATE_ON && interp_state == INTERP_IDLE && spindle.direction != 0 |
| Feed/spindle/rapid override and max-velocity sliders | No update_state disable formula; setters send their command directly. INI and command-layer range/enable rules still apply. |
| View controls and Clear Live Plot | No machine-state gate |
The Web may disable an action while a browser-only asynchronous load is in flight. Any other gate stronger than this table must be identified as a Web safety adaptation, not attributed to AXIS.
Control Matrix
| Panel control | React command | Source flow and required result |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency Stop / Cancel | ESTOP {active} |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: estop_clicked sends STATE_ESTOP_RESET only when status is STATE_ESTOP; every other status sends STATE_ESTOP. emcTaskSetState(ESTOP) aborts motion, spindle, task and IO, disables trajectory, applies volatile unhome and synchronizes the task plan. |
| Power on / off | POWER {active} |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: onoff_clicked sends STATE_ON only from STATE_ESTOP_RESET; otherwise it sends STATE_OFF. Power off aborts motion/task/IO and volatile homes; the subsequently observed source state is normally STATE_ESTOP_RESET, not stable STATE_OFF. The selected taskfile path remains status data. |
| Open G-code file | browser file + PROGRAM_LOAD |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: native UI gate is interpreter IDLE. open_file_guts polls, saves mode, ensures MANUAL, processes an optional filter, restores saved mode, resets start line/highlight, task_plan_synch + wait, program_open, replaces the text/canon, constructs status-derived preview init codes, parses, redraws, then calls set_mode_from_tab. A parse error is reported against the newly selected file; AXIS does not roll back to the previous canon. |
| Load case / packaged program / edited source | LOAD_WORKSPACE and/or PROGRAM_LOAD |
WEB_EXTENSION entry points. Once a file is selected they must use the Open/Reload adapter and may add a browser-load/queue exclusion while asynchronous parsing is active. Edited text is committed only through Reload; these controls are not native AXIS buttons. |
| Switchkins Identity / TCP: XYZAC / User K | KINEMATICS_SELECT {type} |
SOURCE_ADAPTER for the selected INI's HALUI MDI commands: M429 -> type 0, M428 -> type 1, M430 -> type 2; each remap executes M68 E3 Q<type> then M66 E0 L0 and verifies motion.switchkins-type in task context. The Web's homed/idle/empty-TP gate is a stated safety strengthening around the source MDI/task gate. |
| Run | PROGRAM_RUN |
run_warn, ensure_mode(AUTO), AUTO_RUN from the selected start line, then periodic task/TP ticks. Normal AXIS Run uses line 0. In emctaskmain.cc, an ended or aborted task plan is closed; the next EMC_TASK_PLAN_RUN reopens the current taskfile and runs from line 0. Therefore Run after completed or aborted must work directly and must not require a separate Reload/Restart click. |
| Run from selected line | not exposed | AXIS task_run_line requires an editor highlight and source AUTO_RUN start line. The Web editor has no source-line selection command yet, so no partial/fake button is rendered. |
| Reverse / Forward | not exposed | AXIS task_reverse/task_forward are keyboard-only source actions; the selected WASM program ABI has no corresponding command and Web preserves the distinction from Run. |
| Step | PROGRAM_STEP |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: source toolbar gate is ON plus taskfile, not interpreter IDLE. task_step clears highlight/runs warning unless already AUTO+IDLE, ensures AUTO and sends AUTO_STEP. Task-layer homing remains authoritative. |
| Pause / Resume | PROGRAM_PAUSE / PROGRAM_RESUME |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: task_pause accepts AUTO plus READING/WAITING. task_resume requires paused plus mode AUTO or MDI. The combined toolbar calls task_pauseresume, accepts AUTO or MDI, blocks resume when resume_inhibit, and otherwise pauses any non-IDLE interpreter. Web scheduling must serialize the edge but cannot change these state conditions. |
| Stop | PROGRAM_ABORT |
AXIS enables Stop only while the interpreter is non-idle; then it highlights the active line, issues c.abort(), waits for completion, and clears the abort edge. The Worker may accept an internal abort edge in more states, but the Web button follows the AXIS UI gate. |
| Block delete / optional pause | disabled | LinuxCNC source has these controls, but the selected WASM ABI does not expose their canonical state. They are visible as disabled, with blocked_by_abi, and never emulate a local toggle. |
| Preview view, zoom, rotate, clear plot | local view or VISUAL_CLEAR |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: view operations do not change task/interpreter/TP/IO. Ctrl-K maps clear_live_plot() -> live_plotter.clear() -> positionlogger.clear() and clears only Live Plot; it never deletes the loaded AxisCanon preview. Native Run, Stop, completion and Open/Reload do not call this clear path. |
| DRO coordinate/display/units | local projection | Maps AXIS coord_type, display_type and metric variables; values remain Worker snapshot projections. |
| Preview layers | local projection | SOURCE_ADAPTER only where the source variable exists: path=show_program, live=show_live_plot, limits=show_machine_limits, velocity=show_machine_speed, offsets=show_offsets, extents=show_extents. AXIS also has rapids, alpha, tool and DTG controls that the Web does not expose. Toggling visibility never deletes layer data. |
| Manual / MDI tabs | SET_MODE |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: native tab callbacks are ensure_manual and ensure_mdi, including set_motion_teleop transitions. axis.tcl::update_state calls set_mode_from_tab only when returning to ON+IDLE from a non-idle/task-state transition while task mode is AUTO. No unrelated React effect may force a mode. |
| Joint/World (teleop) mode | not exposed | AXIS View menu calls set_teleop_mode/c.teleop_enable; the selected WASM motion ABI has no canonical teleop setter, so Web does not pretend its coordinate mode is a joint/world toggle. |
Jog - / + |
JOG_START, SIM_STEP, JOG_STOP |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: source requires manual_ok and the visible Manual tab. Incremental sends one JOG_INCREMENT; Continuous sends one JOG_CONTINUOUS and motion continues until the deferred release issues JOG_STOP. Web servo sampling is transport/runtime work, not repeated user jog commands. |
| Home Axis | HOME {axis} |
manual_ok, ensure_mode(MANUAL), then source joint-home command. Individual axis home is rejected outside identity kinematics, matching home_joint. |
| Home All / Re-home All | HOME {all:true} |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: manual_ok, ensure MANUAL, if all_homed() ask the native re-home confirmation, then set_motion_teleop(0), c.home(-1), wait. Native text remains Home All; the Web RE-HOME ALL label is presentation-only and cannot trigger a hidden home during load. |
| Touch Off | TOUCH_OFF {axis,value,system,units} |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: source UI condition is the Touch Off formula above; task-layer MDI additionally enforces homing unless NO_FORCE_HOMING. Prompt for P0 Current through P9 G59.3, save mode, ensure MDI, scale linear units, issue G10 L20 <P-token> <axis>[value*scale], wait, redraw/reload, restore saved mode and TELEOP. |
| Tool Touch Off | TOOL_TOUCH_OFF {axis,value,system,units} |
LinuxCNC source requires G10 L10/L11 plus G43, but the selected WASM interpreter does not expose canonical tool-offset storage. The control is therefore disabled with blocked_by_abi_tool_offsets; it never sends a fake fixed G43. |
| Override limits | disabled | SOURCE_BLOCKED: widget enable requires on_any_limit; handler separately requires interpreter IDLE. If already overridden it ensures AUTO; otherwise it ensures MANUAL and calls c.override_limits(). The selected WASM ABI cannot represent this canonical path. |
| Spindle CCW / stop / CW | SPINDLE_COMMAND |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: manual_ok, ensure MANUAL, then c.spindle(0) or c.spindle(direction, default_spindle_speed). Pressed state comes from canonical spindle[0].direction, not an RPM-sign inference. |
| Spindle - / + | SPINDLE_COMMAND {delta} → SPINDLE_CONSTANT on release |
AXIS binds Button-1 to spindle_decrease/spindle_increase and ButtonRelease to spindle_constant; Web preserves this press/release sequence. |
| Brake | SPINDLE_BRAKE |
Source brake command, gated by manual_ok. |
| Mist / Flood | COOLANT_COMMAND |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: manual checkboxes belong to the ON+IDLE manual group and call c.mist(value)/c.flood(value) directly. F7/F8 poll status and send the inverse canonical bit. |
| Tool / probe status | read-only | AXIS does not put Prepare/Change/Arm/Disarm buttons in this manual notebook. Tool changes remain interpreter/MDI and IO/HAL operations. Web displays canonical tool/probe state but exposes no extra main-panel command buttons. |
| Jog Speed | SET_JOG_SCALE |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: the slider changes AXIS's linear jog-speed value used by subsequent jog commands; it is not itself a motion command and has no update_state power gate. |
| Angular Jog Speed | not exposed | AXIS has a separate ajogspeed control for rotary joints; the selected WASM TP exposes one shared jog scale only, so the Web panel does not alias linear Jog Speed to this control. |
| Feed Override | SET_OVERRIDE |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: set_feedrate sends c.feedrate(percent/100) without a machine-state UI gate. Selected INI MAX_FEED_OVERRIDE=2 makes the range 0-200%. Web debouncing may coalesce pointer events but must preserve the last ordered value. |
| Spindle Override | SET_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: set_spindlerate sends c.spindleoverride(percent/100) without an update_state power gate. Its maximum defaults to MAX_FEED_OVERRIDE when MAX_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE is absent. |
| Max Velocity | SET_MAX_VELOCITY |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: set_maxvel converts display units and sends c.maxvel(value/60) without an update_state power gate. The selected WASM TP exposes this as its velocity limit/scale. |
| Rapid Override | disabled | AXIS set_rapidrate calls c.rapidrate and is distinct from Max Velocity. The selected WASM TP has no rapid-scale setter, so the Web control is disabled with blocked_by_abi_rapidrate. |
| MDI command/history | MDI_EXECUTE |
SOURCE_ADAPTER: send_mdi validates manual_ok; nonempty text is trimmed, the entry cleared, MDI mode ensured, and the command is inserted unless it equals the immediately preceding history entry, then c.mdi(command) is sent. A single click selects history; native double-click executes it. |
| File tool-data editor / Quit | disabled | AXIS launches a host editor or terminates the desktop process. Browser controls remain visibly disabled with host_boundary_tool_editor / host_boundary_process_quit; clicking them cannot report a false success. |
| About AXIS | local dialog | SOURCE_ADAPTER: mirrors the source .about open/OK-close action and changes no Worker/task/TP/IO state. The native website link is a separate external-host action. |

Tool/probe IO operations (TOOL_PREPARE, TOOL_PREPARED, TOOL_CHANGE,

MDI, HAL and focused IO tests. They are deliberately absent from the Web main
panel because no corresponding AXIS main-panel buttons exist.
Button Dependency Matrix
The following matrix describes the side effects that determine the next set of enabled controls. The right-hand column is an observable Worker state change; React must derive its button gates from that state on the next snapshot.
| Action | Must be true before the click | State change after acceptance | Controls affected next |
|---|---|---|---|
ESTOP(active=true) |
Always accepted by the task state machine | IO estop=1, ready=0; interpreter and TP aborted; task ESTOP; loaded source retained |
Disable power-on, home, jog, MDI, spindle, tool, probe and all program controls except E-stop reset/recovery-safe actions |
ESTOP(active=false) |
Source toggle requires current status ESTOP | IO E-stop clears; observed source task state becomes ESTOP_RESET; Web may display STOPPED only as an adapter label |
Power is enabled; motion/manual/MDI remain disabled until ON |
POWER(active=true) |
Source ON edge is valid only from ESTOP_RESET; it does not require interpreter IDLE |
Trajectory enables and observed task state becomes ON | Manual group requires ON+IDLE; program Run still meets UI/taskfile adapter and task-layer homing rules |
POWER(active=false) |
Source toolbar allows the toggle whenever status is not ESTOP, including active execution | Motion/task/IO abort, trajectory disables, volatile-home joints unhome, task plan synchronizes; taskfile retained | Observed state returns to ESTOP_RESET; nonvolatile homing is not falsely cleared by the UI |
HOME(all/axis) |
AXIS homing UI: ON+IDLE; handler manual_ok, then MANUAL |
Home authority updates homed[]; individual coordinate-axis home is rejected for non-identity/duplicate coordinates |
AUTO's task layer may run only when all required joints are homed unless NO_FORCE_HOMING=1 |
PROGRAM_LOAD |
Native Open/Reload requires interpreter IDLE; Web additionally excludes active TP/MDI queue and concurrent parse | Save mode, ensure MANUAL, restore mode, set line 0, synchronize, open/replace taskfile and canon, parse status-derived preview, then apply tab mode | New taskfile/preview replace the old selection. Static preview replacement is independent of Live Plot data. |
KINEMATICS_SELECT |
Machine on, homed, idle, TP queue empty, valid type 0/1/2 | M429/M428/M430 selection updates canonical kinematics and the HAL switchkins type | Identity is required for individual coordinate-axis homing; a non-empty queue blocks selection |
SET_MODE(MANUAL) |
Source task rejects leaving active AUTO; tab handler also requires manual_ok |
Task mode MANUAL plus source joint/teleop selection | Manual widgets are still controlled by ON+IDLE, not mode alone |
SET_MODE(MDI) |
Tab handler requires manual_ok; task mode transition follows source motion-mode calls |
Task mode MDI | MDI widgets use ON+queue-capacity; submission still calls manual_ok |
PROGRAM_RUN |
Native toolbar formula is ON+IDLE and does not test taskfile. Web adds current-taskfile validation; task acceptance adds all-homed unless NO_FORCE_HOMING=1. Completed/aborted are valid idle starts. |
task_run: warning, ensure AUTO, AUTO_RUN(start_line), reset next start line to 0. Task layer reopens the retained file when plan is closed. |
During non-IDLE, native Run relief is pressed and Open/Reload/Run/manual controls disable; on IDLE, direct Run is available again. |
PROGRAM_PAUSE |
Source handler: AUTO plus READING/WAITING; combined toolbar: AUTO/MDI plus non-IDLE and not currently paused | Trajectory pauses, previous interpreter state is saved, interpreter becomes PAUSED | Combined toolbar remains enabled and becomes Resume; Stop, E-stop and Power remain enabled by their own formulas |
PROGRAM_RESUME |
paused true, mode AUTO or MDI, and for combined toolbar resume_inhibit false |
Trajectory resumes and interpreter restores interpResumeState |
Combined toolbar returns to Pause; manual controls remain disabled until interpreter IDLE |
PROGRAM_ABORT |
AXIS exposes Stop while machine ON and interpreter non-IDLE; the task abort command itself is immediate | Interpreter aborts, TP queue is cleared, current taskfile/path remains selected, and the open task plan is closed | Stop periodic run polling; direct Run is enabled again when the task is idle and reopens the same taskfile from line 0. Reload is not a prerequisite. |
JOG_START |
manual_ok, Manual tab visible and a valid selected joint/axis. Homing selects coordinate TELEOP versus joint FREE behavior; it is not an unconditional GUI prerequisite. |
One incremental command or one continuous command is sent | Continuous stays active until release/cancel sends JOG_STOP; incremental has no stop edge |
JOG_STOP |
An active jog gesture exists | Active jog is aborted/stopped; TP remains runnable | Allows a subsequent jog, MDI or source-gated manual command |
TOUCH_OFF |
Source widget/handler formula plus valid value; task MDI homing enforcement applies unless configured off | MDI G10 L20 updates the selected coordinate system, reloads preview, then restores saved task/motion mode |
Position/DRO/offsets refresh; program execution state remains idle |
SET_MAX_VELOCITY |
No native machine-state UI gate; numeric value follows source unit conversion/range | Source TP maximum velocity changes | Motion duration/velocity changes; jog/feed/rapid controls remain independent |
| Rapid Override control | Not available in the selected WASM TP | No state change | Rapid Override remains disabled; Max Velocity must not be used as a substitute |
| Spindle/Coolant | Native manual widgets require ON+IDLE; spindle direction/brake handlers additionally use manual_ok and ensure MANUAL where source does; coolant checkbox handlers do not switch mode |
Canonical device IO changes only after Worker verification | Direction/checked states update from canonical status; spindle speed +/- also requires nonzero source direction |
| Feed/Spindle override | No native machine-state UI gate; values follow INI ranges | Send c.feedrate/c.spindleoverride equivalents |
Canonical override changes without inventing an ON-only restriction |

Any E-stop or power-off edge invalidates active motion immediately. It does not delete the selected taskfile, static preview or Live Plot, and only joints configured with volatile home are unhomed by the native source. The UI must not leave stale enabled controls while waiting for the next canonical snapshot; the Worker gate remains final authority if a click races a status transition.
Required Transactions
Startup program selection
native priority: argv[0] -> AXIS_OPEN_FILE -> [DISPLAY] OPEN_FILE
browser applicable priority: selected INI [DISPLAY] OPEN_FILE
-> keep preview/program controls in loading state
-> LOAD_WORKSPACE
-> exactly one PROGRAM_LOAD for the configured OPEN_FILE
-> publish the configured program, source hash and preview atomically
-> enable source-gated controls
The UI cache is read only for presentation preferences. A stale cached program from an earlier Web version is ignored and replaced on the next UI preference save. No default-preview-then-cached-preview transition is permitted.
File replacement
poll
-> native Open/Reload gate: interpreter IDLE
-> Web safety adapter also requires TP/MDI queue empty and no active parse
-> save task mode
-> ensure MANUAL
-> optional source FILTER; on failure report and stop
-> restore saved task mode before PLAN_OPEN-equivalent parsing
-> set first line 0 and clear previous highlight
-> task_plan_synch + wait_complete
-> program_open / PROGRAM_LOAD
-> replace editor text and AxisCanon/static preview owner
-> construct preview init codes from canonical status and parse
-> reapply selected tab mode after the UI refresh
-> publish one canonical replacement snapshot
The replacement is rejected while the TP or an MDI move still has a queued or
active segment by the Web safety adapter. Native open_file_guts builds
preview initialization from polled machine position, units, tool, modal G/M
codes and tool offsets. Therefore loading B after A moved the machine must not
silently initialize relative preview at the origin. A failed filter does not
open a new taskfile. A G-code preview parse error is reported for the newly
selected file; native AXIS does not promise rollback to the old static preview.
E-stop recovery and startup
ESTOP(active=true)
-> emcMotionAbort + spindle/task/IO abort + trajectory disable
-> volatile-home joints may unhome; task-plan synch
-> observed task_state ESTOP
ESTOP(active=false)
-> send STATE_ESTOP_RESET; abort/synch; observed task_state ESTOP_RESET
POWER(active=true)
-> valid from ESTOP_RESET; trajectory enable; observed task_state ON
HOME(all=true)
-> manual_ok -> MANUAL -> joint mode -> c.home(-1) -> wait
PROGRAM_RUN
-> if the previous plan is completed/aborted: reopen current taskfile at line 0
-> AUTO mode, interpreter READING; browser scheduler drives WASM samples
Run after completion or Stop
RUNNING -> M2/end-of-file -> WAITING -> queue/IO drained -> IDLE/completed
-> press Run
-> reopen current taskfile
-> AUTO_RUN line 0
RUNNING -> Stop/abort -> abort interpreter + TP -> close task plan -> IDLE/aborted
-> press Run
-> reopen current taskfile
-> AUTO_RUN line 0
This is the source behavior in emctaskmain.cc: closing the task plan avoids
resuming at an aborted line, and EMC_TASK_PLAN_RUN_TYPE opens the selected
file again when no plan is open. The Web runtime may expose PROGRAM_RESTART
internally for recovery/testing, but it is not a required user step and is not
a second visible Run control. After the reopen/synchronization, a positioning
block whose target already equals the current canonical pose is a zero-motion
block: it advances the interpreter line but must not enqueue an invalid
zero-length TP segment.
Touch-off command encoding
AXIS's all_systems list is P0 Current, P1 G54 through P9 G59.3.
touch_off_system passes the first token from the selected entry to
G10 L20, so the source command is G10 L20 P1 X... for G54 (and P0 for
the current system). The Worker accepts the same P-token or a G54..G59.3
display token, records the normalized source_system, and executes the same
canonical P form. This keeps the source command and the interpreter encoding
auditable without changing the UI behavior.
Continuous jog
AXIS binds Button-1 to continuous jog and ButtonRelease to jog_stop.
The source sends one JOG_CONTINUOUS command and motion continues until a
deferred JOG_STOP; it does not submit a fresh user command every GUI sample.
The Web equivalent keeps one active {axis,direction} gesture, sends one
JOG_START, advances its WASM servo simulation internally and sends
JOG_STOP exactly once on release, cancel, leave, focus loss or E-stop.
Toolpath display lifecycle
The panel renders two different path layers. They must never share an implicit clear condition:
| Layer | Source owner | Visible/retained | Cleared or replaced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static program preview | open_file_guts assigns a new AxisCanon; Gremlin renders that canon |
Remains visible during Run, Pause, Resume, Stop and normal completion | Open/Reload replaces the previous canon with the newly selected program's canon and parses into it. A preview error is reported for the new file; native AXIS does not roll back to the old canon. Clear Live Plot does not affect it. |
| Machining Live Plot | LivePlotter owns linuxcnc.positionlogger; show_live_plot controls visibility |
Accumulates independently of the selected static program. Pause freezes and retains it; Resume continues; Stop and normal completion retain it. Opening, reloading, running or rerunning a program also retains the existing trace. Hiding changes visibility only. | Only clear_live_plot() calls LivePlotter.clear(), whose clear() calls positionlogger.clear(). No call exists in open_file_guts, reload_file, task_run, task_step, task_pause, task_resume or task_stop. |
The Worker publishes a monotonic visual.live_path_epoch. React may clear the
machining Live Plot only when this value changes. Array identity, a full versus
delta snapshot, Pause, Resume, Stop, task mode, queue depth and completion are
not clear signals. To match the source, the epoch changes only for the explicit
VISUAL_CLEAR adapter (or restoration of a previously persisted epoch); it
must not change on a program lifecycle command.
PROGRAM_LOAD accepted -> live epoch unchanged -> replace static preview only
PROGRAM_RUN accepted -> live epoch unchanged -> continue accumulating live trace
PROGRAM_PAUSE -> epoch unchanged -> retain/freeze live trace
PROGRAM_RESUME -> epoch unchanged -> continue live trace
PROGRAM_ABORT/STOP -> epoch unchanged -> retain live trace
program completed -> epoch unchanged -> retain live trace
VISUAL_CLEAR -> increment live_path_epoch -> clear live trace only
PROGRAM_RESTART -> epoch unchanged -> source has no visible Restart action
If Clear Plot is used while motion is still active, history before the clear
edge is removed and positionlogger semantics immediately begin accumulating
the subsequent motion in the new epoch. At IDLE, the cleared trace stays empty.
This source-exact rule supersedes the earlier Web extension that cleared the trace on Run, Restart or Load. That extension contradicted native AXIS and is no longer part of this contract. A product variant that wants per-job traces must provide a separately named export/archive action; it may not change the AXIS Clear Live Plot lifecycle while claiming source parity.
Implementation Invariants
web/worker/sim-session.mjsis the command gate and transaction boundary.web/worker/wasm-linuxcnc-tp.mjs,wasm-program-runtime.mjs,wasm-xyzac-io.mjsandwasm-xyzac-device-io.mjsare the only authorities for selected-case motion, interpreter and device state.web/react/src/App.tsxmay render a button disabled from a gate snapshot, but a Worker gate is still mandatory because UI state can be stale.- Every accepted operation produces a ledger entry and canonical snapshot; every rejected operation produces a stable source/gate reason.
- A feature that cannot be represented by the selected ABI is disabled with
an explicit reason. It must not be approximated with
G92, a fixedG43, local booleans or a second JavaScript state machine. - New controls must be added to this matrix, the source symbol inventory and a focused Worker/browser regression test before deployment.
- Executable program source/path is never part of UI preference persistence; refresh performs one INI-authorized startup load.
- Live Plot clearing is controlled only by the Worker
live_path_epoch; React object/array replacement is never a lifecycle signal, and only the explicitVISUAL_CLEARsource adapter advances the epoch. - Every contract row carries or inherits one of
SOURCE_EXACT,SOURCE_ADAPTER,SOURCE_BLOCKEDorWEB_EXTENSION; extensions and blocked capabilities are never counted as source parity. - Exact
axis.tcl::update_stateformulas remain the reference UI gates. A browser asynchronous-load exclusion must be documented separately; no other stronger React gate may be attributed to AXIS.
Change Procedure
Focused evidence for this contract is kept in
web/worker/test_xyzac_touch_off_source_flow.mjs,
web/worker/test_xyzac_panel_buttons.mjs and
scripts/test_xyzac_panel_buttons_browser.mjs. The completed/aborted direct
rerun contract is covered by web/worker/test_xyzac_program_rerun.mjs and the
published-site execution sequence is covered by
scripts/test_xyzac_program_execution_browser_strict.mjs.
The source-surface audit is enforced by scripts/test_axis_control_contract.mjs.
The exhaustive control-ID audit is enforced by
scripts/test_axis_control_inventory.mjs and
scripts/test_axis_control_inventory_browser.mjs; the latter rejects any
rendered actionable element without a documented ID or with a duplicate ID.
When LinuxCNC source behavior or the selected machine configuration changes:
- Update the source baseline and the affected matrix row/transaction above.
- Recompute the source-lock hashes and review every changed source symbol.
- Update the Worker gate/authority path.
- Update the React handler only after the Worker contract is verified.
- Add normal, blocked and recovery assertions to the focused test.
- Regenerate the relationship graph from its DOT source.
- Run the panel browser test, build the React bundle, and publish a new release directory without replacing the previous rollback target.
The document deliberately records ABI blockers and source boundaries. A
verified Web slice means the implemented path matches this contract; it does
not claim that an unavailable LinuxCNC host or official native oracle has been
silently reproduced in the browser.
