Production CNC machines are beyond safety glass and sheet metal already.
Sometimes even in work cell cages!

Programming CNC has been done by opening up the print or CAD model and telling the CAM package to generate the tool paths for many years already.

Sometimes programmers edit the generated code a little bit to adapt it, but there's little zero risk in trying machine models on this. The worst that can happen is a crash that scraps a $50k spindle.

@AlphaOmega
It's not just that -- it has markup explanations/comments.
Imagine if someone was told to change the explanation of those particular sections -- they could totally have made some change that accidentally made those parts unrendered.
Some static site generators silently drop template sections that have errors, for example.
Of course, this theory still requires that someone told someone to change what those sections say, which seems plausible enough...

@silence7 they claim it's a coding error, but maybe it's a deliberate coding error?
Or maybe they just wanted to update the "explanation" part of those sections, but doing so being the build.
