The remaining bench diagnostics run from forgetest's #bench tab. The
tools that also run from a LAN host share scripts/bench/gfbench.py:
GF_HOST names a remote machine (host mode, sysfs through ssh, Grbl and
forgectrl over the LAN); unset, the tool runs on the board itself
(local mode, sysfs directly, everything on 127.0.0.1), which is how the
page runs them - with GF_HOST=127.0.0.1, the panel token in GF_TOKEN
and their data files under <data>/bench/ (FORGETEST_BENCH_DATA). The
helper also reads a machine setting from forgectrl, or from the settings
file on the board while forgectrl is stopped.
Ported: pwm_sweep / pwm_hold (scope = a takeover; the latch relocked,
the write refused if FIRE or LASER_ON reads active), pwm_stream_test
(PASS/FAIL exit), flow_characterize, flow_recheck_char,
flow_warm_validate and flow_matrix (takeovers: forgectrl owns the
thermal hardware, so the page's takeover replaces the tools' own
controller stop/restart, whose command line predated the supervisor;
results and logs in the bench data directory), flow_sustained,
fan_test, temp_calibrate (dry; watch bounded in seconds; the threshold
and the coolant conversion from the shared code), flow_escalate_drill
(cool_confirm_max_s shortened through forgectrl's settings for the
drill and restored; the setting's minimum is the default budget), and
live_fire_drills (<drill> [S] [F], all six drills, host from GF_HOST,
token from the board). flow_matrix joins the registry. What stays
unported cannot run against the machine at all: the two null-sink CI
harnesses and the .puls decoder.
Runner: a scope tool runs inside the takeover wrapper; the bench
environment above is passed to every tool. Tests: test_bench_registry
(registry <-> scripts/bench consistency, every ported tool builds its
command line, every script compiles, gfbench host/local modes) and the
server test (scope tool takeover, the environment reaching the tool).
Local mode smoke-run on the bench (temp_calibrate watch, setting, token)
from /tmp, removed after.
No catalog consequence: bench tools are not image components (dev-only
forgetest); the acceptance catalog is unchanged.
The host-side coolant and fan tools call the ssh on PATH, or the client
named by GF_SSH (a wrapper such as a WSL distro's ssh), instead of a
fixed wrapper. The bench README lists every committed tool and data
file, and explains how the coolant-flow fire-gate threshold was
derived from the committed flow-matrix data and how to re-run that
derivation on another machine.
- LIGHTBURN.md: mandatory "Before you cut" safety section; the
walkthrough now reflects the firing machine (dry runs need the
layer output off or M5; live first-cut instructions); the homing
entry documents homing_mode and the gfcloud method; the machine
address is a placeholder.
- README.md: condensed safety section linking the full text and the
regulatory notes.
- INSTALL.md: "Regulatory and legal" section ahead of the install
steps; routine updates route through the panel updater rather than
the installer.
- BRINGUP.md: the release signing key is described as held offline
(no on-disk path); bench address and credential notes removed;
Next-work item 7 corrected (the installer embeds the production
release key); status entry for audit remediation Phases 0-1; the
GATE A kernel drills join the pending image-flash checklist.
- bench scripts: the target host comes from GF_HOST (or argv) instead
of a hardcoded address.
- laser_stream_test.py: per-session controller runs with a hermetic
cooling-verdict publisher; new assertions that every stream
terminates with FIRE clear (including M3 held to stream end) and
that no FIRE bit rides a zero-step gap; a cycle-churn session
exercises the stop/start seams.
Audit findings D-1, D-2, D-3, D-5, D-10, D-12, B-10, and the harness
half of D-4/G-1.
BRINGUP records the gate as complete with tach-verified results;
LIGHTBURN.md documents the per-layer Air Assist toggle driving the
cut-profile ventilation; fan_test.py joins the bench kit.
