Can AI Write a Safe Fanuc Macro Program? Not Unsupervised
Macro B is where AI G-code generation is least safe: niche corpus, per-control system variables, and code whose whole job is safety checks. The boundaries.

Editing at the machine is a real skill with a fixed procedure: find the block, understand it in context, change one thing, verify before running. Step by step.
AI G-code fails in plausible ways, so verification needs structure: six passes from dialect check to single-block first run, each catching what the last cannot.
Restarting mid-program is a state problem: everything the skipped lines established must be rebuilt first. The gather-restore-enter method, step by step.
The safe pre-door sequence is three commitments in code: retract Z by a route you calculated, stop the spindle, and stop the program. The two retract idioms.
Faking it fails faster in CNC than almost any job, and the stakes are fingers and machines. The legitimate fast lane exists: learn fast, disclose honestly.
