IMAGE_INSTALL:remove applies after every append, so the release recipe's
removal of nano also stripped it from the dev image that appended it back.
The dev recipe now re-sets the removal list to gfui-client alone.
No catalog consequence: dev image composition only.
The distro keeps its ipv6 feature (busybox networking and ifupdown
inet6, openssh, ntp and rsyslog follow); forgetest binds "::" by
default, one dual-stack socket that still serves IPv4. The release
image drops nano (with it file and the libmagic database, 8.7 MB; the
dev image keeps nano), the udev hardware database (7.7 MB of USB and
PCI identities for buses the board lacks, via BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS) and
urllib3's pyOpenSSL/cryptography recommendation (6 MB; nothing imports
them, TLS goes through the standard library). BRINGUP item 21 records
the round and the bench checks it owes; item 16 gets its re-measure
plan on the UP kernel with the performance governor.
Coverage: image.* covers the rootfs composition and the distro conf
(platform); forgetest's own suite covers the server.
The service-protocol half of the cloud catalog on its own test: the cloud
client restarted as gfutilities' emulator under the /run/gfcloud-emulate
marker signs in, passes the firmware check, opens the WebSocket, answers
the connect-time hunt and the image requests with the dev image's canned
frames, and runs a print from the app through the real download path to
':completed' - nothing moves, nothing arms, and only the app has to be
driven, by a person or an agent through the prompt API. The real client
is restarted afterward and its hunt waited out. session_live now knows
the emulator's session is not the machine's, so enter_cloud restarts it
rather than reusing it; restart_client is the one restart the offline
and emulator entries share.
The dev image adds python3-gfutilities-emulator (the fixtures, packaged
on their own in meta-openglow); forgefirm-app moves to 12ad3b1 (gfcloud
--emulate). Catalog: 44 tests, 27 auto / 9 operator / 8 live; the new
test covers the gfutilities service layer and examples/, which step 4
will take off the other cloud tests. Replays over the prompt script;
contract and BRINGUP updated. A layer change (the dev image recipe):
everything re-requires on the next image.
The image has no `nice` binary - BusyBox ships renice only - so
motion.step-timing-under-load could not spawn its CPU hog at all. Set the
niceness from the parent with os.setpriority once the child exists, and
assert the value that actually took: a hog left at nice 0 would be a
harsher test than intended, and one left unset must not pass silently.
Add htop to the dev image for bench diagnostics. The release image is
unchanged - it carries neither forgetest nor htop.
A stdlib-only daemon on the dev image (HTTP :8090) that runs the acceptance
catalog against the machine from a self-contained page, keeps the append-only
result log under /data/forgetest, and exports the release artifact the gate
reads. Tests declare kind (auto / operator / live), hardware (api / takeover),
coverage globs, prerequisites, and core membership; a test's domain
fingerprint is the hash of the manifest files its globs select plus the
platform and its own implementation, so a PASS stays valid exactly while
nothing it covers changed. Campaign rules: a FAIL ends the campaign, the core
(image health, kernel latch and drills, one live emission witness) is never
inherited, invalidate-all forces a full campaign, no SKIP. Live tests need the
operator acknowledgment and the physical arm press through the controller;
takeover tests stop forgectrl for the duration with a crash-recoverable
marker; the tool never touches the laser latch.
Catalog v1: 24 tests ported from the proven bench drills with their recorded
pass criteria (image, kernel K1-K3 and fire A/B/U, forgectrl API and logs,
motion incl. dead-man, cooling, live laser, camera, update, cloud). The bench
tab lists every scripts/bench tool and runs the board-side ones as
subprocesses (takeover tools wrapped). 44 host unit tests, including the gate
verification fixtures. Installed only by forgefirm-image-dev, with the bench
scripts under /usr/share/forgetest/bench.
- Move the passwordless-root debug-tweaks image feature out of the
shared kas config into forgefirm-image-dev.bb, so the release
forgefirm-image built from the same config is not passwordless-root.
release.sh gains a gate that reads the built rootfs /etc/shadow and
fails on an empty root password, plus a config-level guard that
debug-tweaks is not present in the resolved kas dump. (B-1)
- The installer copies ffboot out of the signature-verified new rootfs
it already mounts, instead of fetching and executing it from a mutable
GitHub raw ref. (B-2)
- Record audit remediation Phase 2 (GATE B) status in BRINGUP.md,
including the bench pass still required to close the gate.
The release image now targets the 200 MiB factory eMMC slot: content
plus 40 MiB working space, hard build failure past the slot size. The
raw ext4 is deployed alongside the wic; scripts/mkfw.sh packs it into
a signed .fw with factory-pattern upgrade.a/upgrade.b tasks. fwup
1.16.0 recipe (applies ForgeFIRM and Glowforge-signed archives on
device) is installed in both images. Dev images stay SD-sized with a
256 MiB working margin and no ceiling.
Verified on the 20260808153331 build: release ext4 180.8 MiB; signed
.fw applies byte-exact with fwup 1.16.0 and with the factory's 0.14.2
(raw-format pubkey), and 0.14.2 -V verifies the signature.
Every image writes /etc/forgefirm-version and echoes "ForgeFIRM
<version>" on the serial-console login prompt (/etc/issue, beneath the
OpenGlow banner) and at SSH login (motd). Release images carry
v${FORGEFIRM_RELEASE}; the dev image stamps the build timestamp - the
same DATETIME as the artifact name - tagged (dev) so a bench machine
is never mistaken for a release.
Sources live at github.com/ScottW514/forgectrl (history extracted, layout src/ + init/); the recipe pins SRCREV and installs the init script from the repo. Adds the build-forgectrl.sh bench cross-compile script.
The dev image required the shared glowforge-image base directly, so it
was not a superset of forgefirm-image (it lacked v4l-utils, audit N12).
Require forgefirm-image and add forgectrl + debug tooling on top.
