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:

The current local LinuxCNC tree contains unrelated heartbeat instrumentation and an INTRO_GRAPHIC substitution. Neither changes the AXIS control flow specified here; they are not used to redefine parity.

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 Open/Reload: SOURCE_ADAPTER; Recent/Edit/Save/Properties: browser file/host boundary, not rendered
Tool table edit/reload, Ladder Editor, Quit edit_tooltable, reload_tool_table, classicladder, destroy Tool editor/Quit: visible SOURCE_BLOCKED; reload/Ladder: host boundary, not rendered

Run, Run from line, Step, Pause, Resume, Stop task_run, task_run_line, task_step, task_pause, task_resume, task_pauseresume, task_stop Run/Step/toggle Pause-Resume/Stop: SOURCE_ADAPTER; Run from line is SOURCE_BLOCKED until source-line selection is canonical
Optional Stop and Block Delete toggle_optional_stop, toggle_block_delete Visible SOURCE_BLOCKED; block delete's source wait, MANUAL switch and preview reload must not be approximated by a local checkbox
MDI history clear/copy/paste/select/double-click/Up/Down clear_mdi_history, mdi_history_hist2clip, mdi_history_clip2hist, mdi_history_butt_1, mdi_history_double_butt_1, mdi_up_cmd, mdi_down_cmd Select/Up/Down/local history: SOURCE_ADAPTER; clipboard/file persistence variants are browser/host boundaries
Calibration, HAL Configuration, HAL Meter, HAL Scope, LinuxCNC Status, Debug Level external exec commands in Machine menu 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
Zero P1..P9 and G92 coordinate systems clear_offset SOURCE_BLOCKED; Touch Off is not an alias for clearing a coordinate system
Tool touch-off target workpiece/fixture toggle_tto_g11 selecting G10 L10/G10 L11 SOURCE_BLOCKED with Tool Touch Off; no local target state is exposed
Top/Z2/Side/Front/Y2/Perspective, zoom and rotate set_view_*, zoomin, zoomout, rotate Tcl command SOURCE_ADAPTER; Y2 is toolbar-only in the native layout
Inches/MM, commanded/actual, machine/relative metric, display_type, coord_type SOURCE_ADAPTER; display projection only
Show program, rapids, alpha, live plot, tool, extents, offsets, limits, velocity, DTG toggle_show_*, toggle_program_alpha Program/live/extents/offsets/limits/velocity have adapters; rapids, alpha, tool toggle and DTG are not rendered
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 Home/Touch Off: SOURCE_ADAPTER; Tool Touch Off/Override Limits: visible SOURCE_BLOCKED
Spindle CCW/Stop/CW, slower/faster, brake spindle, spindle_decrease, spindle_increase, spindle_constant, brake SOURCE_ADAPTER; button-state formulas and press/release ordering apply
Mist and Flood mist, flood, mist_toggle, flood_toggle SOURCE_ADAPTER; independent canonical IO bits
MDI entry, Go, Enter, history activation send_mdi, send_mdi_command 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, Quick Reference, clear notifications About/keys dialogs and Ctrl-Space binding 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.

Complete Web Control Inventory

Every rendered actionable element has a stable data-axis-control value. This table is exhaustive for the selected XYZAC panel. A control may not be added to React until its ID, source mapping, gate and result are added here. Repeated MDI history rows intentionally share the family ID mdi-history-select.

Tool/probe IO operations (TOOL_PREPARE, TOOL_PREPARED, TOOL_CHANGE, TOOL_CHANGED, PROBE_CONFIG) remain Worker capabilities for interpreter, 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

  1. web/worker/sim-session.mjs is the command gate and transaction boundary.
  2. web/worker/wasm-linuxcnc-tp.mjs, wasm-program-runtime.mjs, wasm-xyzac-io.mjs and wasm-xyzac-device-io.mjs are the only authorities for selected-case motion, interpreter and device state.
  3. web/react/src/App.tsx may render a button disabled from a gate snapshot, but a Worker gate is still mandatory because UI state can be stale.
  4. Every accepted operation produces a ledger entry and canonical snapshot; every rejected operation produces a stable source/gate reason.
  5. A feature that cannot be represented by the selected ABI is disabled with an explicit reason. It must not be approximated with G92, a fixed G43, local booleans or a second JavaScript state machine.
  6. New controls must be added to this matrix, the source symbol inventory and a focused Worker/browser regression test before deployment.
  7. Executable program source/path is never part of UI preference persistence; refresh performs one INI-authorized startup load.
  8. Live Plot clearing is controlled only by the Worker live_path_epoch; React object/array replacement is never a lifecycle signal, and only the explicit VISUAL_CLEAR source adapter advances the epoch.
  9. Every contract row carries or inherits one of SOURCE_EXACT, SOURCE_ADAPTER, SOURCE_BLOCKED or WEB_EXTENSION; extensions and blocked capabilities are never counted as source parity.
  10. Exact axis.tcl::update_state formulas 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:

  1. Update the source baseline and the affected matrix row/transaction above.
  2. Recompute the source-lock hashes and review every changed source symbol.
  3. Update the Worker gate/authority path.
  4. Update the React handler only after the Worker contract is verified.
  5. Add normal, blocked and recovery assertions to the focused test.
  6. Regenerate the relationship graph from its DOT source.
  7. 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.
