This is working exactly as designed. I have done some initial work that would allow customizing the various settings like fill and line colors, but haven't really been working on this software much.

The FaceSVG software is not designed for the laser cutter you mention - it is designed for the Shaper Origin "CNC" router. As a result, the cut paths are being generated as expected. There is nothing to prevent you from changing the paths to be red or any other color, in Inkscape or just by editing the file directly. I did that, changing the "stroke" to rgb(225,0,0) for all the "interior" paths.
