update.slots-and-signature's apply section required 200 from
POST /update/apply, where the daemon answers 202 with started, like
every job endpoint, so its first bench run on image 20260902144848
ended before the job did; the cleanup then deleted the staged archive
under the running job. The drill requires 202 and started, and looks
for the daemon's refusal ("archive is not signed with the ForgeFIRM
release key"). Bench: the apply started, the job ended with that
refusal, PASS.
A queue started 4 s after a forgetest restart ran 7 tests instead of
10. The bench page's /state poll had a fixture probe in flight (an mDNS
answer), probe_fixture stamped its time at its start, and the queue
start read the stale fixture, none, so the three operator tests the
fixture runs in the unattended queue were routed to nobody. The probe
now runs under a lock and is stamped when it completes: a caller that
arrives during a probe waits for its answer. tests/test_fixture.py
holds the race with a slow scripted probe; it fails on the old code.
Catalog consequence: the update implementation hash moves; the runner
change is dev-only.
A queue runs the catalog in registration order among tests with the
same prerequisites, and cooling.aa-offset-calibrate followed
cooling.flow-verify. A flow-verify trial heats the tube water (a no-flow
trial by 17 C on the bench) and the warm slug circulates past the
coolant sensors for minutes afterward; the calibration's stationary gate
passed 44 s after the trial on image 20260902144848 and the edges read
the wave as disagreement.
The calibration is registered first now, with the reason beside it, and
tests/test_cooling_order.py holds the order.
Catalog consequence: the cooling.* implementation hashes move (the suite
file changed).
The hang case resumed the controller and sent $X alone. The stream
fault raises Alarm 17 (motor fault), which the core treats as a critical
event: $X is refused with error:79 until a soft reset, and the reset is
what the stream takes as the operator's acknowledgment of the fault
(grblHAL 38b450e: the kernel stopped and re-armed, the stale ring
cleared, the producer armed again). The drill's first bench run on image
20260902144848 therefore ended in Alarm.
The drill now records $X before the reset and requires the error:79
refusal, sends the soft reset, unlocks, requires Idle, requires the ring
back at its idle free count (the stale bytes of the interrupted move are
gone), and then jogs. The final assertion read the state off the report
dict returned by wait_idle as a string; it never ran before because the
TIMEOUT test short-circuited it.
Bench: motion.deadman PASS on 20260902144848 (kill respawn 1.2 s, hang
to underrun 0.21 s, $X -> ALARM:17 error:79, reset + $X -> Idle, ring
33521664 of 33521664, jog Jog -> Idle, restart retook supervision).
Catalog consequence: the motion.* implementation hashes move (the suite
file changed) and the set re-ran and passed. The failed first run had
closed the campaign, so the always-required core ran again in the new
one, as the campaign rules require.
The gate that refuses a latch unlock while the chain may hold HV_ENABLE
up (charge_pump_alive or a pulse engine not idle) ran at the start of
phases B, U and K3 of kernel.fire-line, within a second of the previous
phase's run. A run feeds the charge-pump watchdog every 200 ms and the
one-shot holds ALIVE for 0.45 s after the last feed, so the gate read
alive=1 and refused: the first bench run of the gate (forgefirm
64f552fc; the laser_pgood gate before it was vacuous) failed phase B on
image 20260902144848.
wait_hv_off() polls the chain for up to 3 s before it refuses, logs the
release when it was not immediate and records every wait in the
evidence (hv_release_s). require_hv_off and check_hv_off use it. The
bench scripts that copy the gate (fire_test.py per phase,
gate_a_kernel_drills.py K3 after K2) get the same wait.
Bench: kernel.fire-line PASS on 20260902144848 with the chain released
after 0.41 s at each of the three phase boundaries. Host:
tests/test_kernel_suite.py covers release inside the window, a chain
held past it, and a chain already off.
Catalog consequence: the kernel.* implementation hashes move (the suite
file changed); the kernel set re-ran and passed.
The manifest lists the modules directory without the kernel's
LOCALVERSION_AUTO hash (the hash does not reproduce across a re-patch of
the same source, so the image manifest strips it). image.health still
compared the full running release against that list and failed on the
first post-flash run of image 20260902144848 with the kernel
6.12.20-fslc-fslc-g72a0b1431a9d against the manifest's 6.12.20-fslc-fslc.
kernel_ident() strips the same suffix from both sides, so a manifest with
or without the hash matches the running kernel, and a different base
release still fails. tests/test_image.py covers both forms.
Catalog consequence: only image.health's own implementation hash moves;
it is an always-run test, so no inherited result is affected.
BRINGUP describes the present: the 54-test catalog and its seven-test
always core, the tier counts, the shipped low-temperature gates, the
density floor ($35 = 10), the two local core commits, the ffboot env
write, the aa-offset route, the current bench image, and the bench
measurements the audit asks for (pooled into the next session). The
workstation shell notes and every em dash are gone.
forgetest: the takeover waits for the cloud client too (found by its
command line); the unauthenticated /boot probe names the endpoint's
parameter; the UI prose is American English. Recipes: forgetest
fetches its package directory and init script only and drops
__pycache__ at unpack; the dev image no longer re-adds forgectrl; the
release image's remove list drops the gfui-client the BSP no longer
has; the platform identity strips the kernel's local-version hash
from the modules directory name, so a re-patched kernel keeps its
fingerprints. grblhal restart is stop then start. release.sh --dev
packs the dev image. fixture.sh refuses a readable env file.
Bench tools: the live-fire drills measure the lid-IR baseline before
every run and point at the fire-watch thresholds the engine reads;
one thermistor conversion (gfbench.degc) serves every drill; the six
dated measurement records leave the tool directory; feeder.c names the
two sysfs writes its caller makes.
Host tests: forgetest 258 pass; the coverage lint reports no uncovered
path across 54 tests. Acceptance: forgectrl.auth covers the /boot
probe; update.* cover ffboot and the manifest identity; the runbook
and bench-tool changes have no catalog consequence.
A test's fingerprint covered its own text and its module's shared text
only, so a judge imported from a sibling suite module (laser.py takes
its motion judges from motion.py) could change without moving the
fingerprints of the tests that call it. The shared text of every sibling
module a module imports now rides along, transitively; unit test.
update.slots-and-signature claimed to refuse a tampered signature but
fed fwup one garbage file. It now makes a throwaway key pair on the
machine, signs a tiny archive, checks that the archive verifies with its
own key and fails against the shipped release key, and asks the update
job to apply it without confirm_unsigned: the job refuses it for its
signature before touching the slot.
BRINGUP named nine cool_* tunables (there are thirty), a cool_fire_ir_delta
key nothing reads, and panel source files that no longer exist; the
inventory is the present one. The bench page's help popovers pointed at a
documentation host and paths that do not exist; they open the site.
The faultpos live-fire drill armed and commanded a cut at an origin it
called stale to test a refusal the design decided not to gate: its only
outcome was an emission at an unknown position. Removed from the script
and the bench page.
live_fire_drills.py discarded every drill's return value, so the bench
page recorded a failed live-fire drill as OK. The exit status is the
drill's.
laser_pgood is the supply's power-good, high on every healthy machine;
fire_test.py and the K3 drill aborted on it and pgood_probe.py inverted
it. The latch-unlock drills now gate on the safety chain holding HV off
(charge-pump watchdog dead, pulse engine idle), as the kernel suite
does, and the probe reports the pin as the kernel publishes it.
motion.deadman: the controller resumed from its hang recovers on $X and
moves again without a restart (the stream's fault acknowledgment).
The inheritance walk skipped every record that was not a PASS on the
current fingerprint, so a FAIL or ERROR recorded after a PASS on the
same image was stepped over and the older PASS inherited into the next
campaign. The newest record on the fingerprint now decides: a PASS is
inherited, a FAIL or ERROR blocks it (reason failed-since), an ABORTED
run says nothing. Unit tests for all three orders.
ffboot, the tool that rewrites the boot environment on every install and
slot switch, was packaged from scripts/ outside every fingerprint. It
now lives in the recipe's files and the recipe inherits the manifest
class; the tree manifest tool fingerprints file components the same
way, and the update tests cover the component.
forgectrl.settings-bounds fell back to ui_units=mm, which the whitelist
refuses, so the always-required test failed on a fresh machine; the
fallback is metric.
The start gate set just above the coolant opens the armed session under
the warm-up; the cloud client waits it out after the button, nothing
runs, and the release starts the print, which completes. The mid-run
hold and its bound are host-tested: the gates apply at session open, so
no setting can produce a hold mid-run on the bench. Bench-excerpt unit
tests: the pass, and the failure when a run starts under the hold.
A pulse device closed while locked and running is the kernel dead man's
switch. The drill enables the lens driver at low current, runs a padded
stream under the takeover, drops the device with the lock held, and
checks that the engine halts at once, the latch is locked, and the head
is in its safe state (z_enable 1, z_current 1, measure laser and UV LED
off). Always required; the kernel covers map already names src/head.c.
A job longer than the ring keeps its feeder alive through the button
wait, so the cancel there has to stop the feeder before the park clears
the ring. The drill now loads such a job, requires the "longer than the
ring" line, and after the cancel reads the program total twice over the
feeder's retry period (zero both times) and cnc/streaming (zero). The
bench-excerpt unit test carries the long-job line and the new evidence.
Covers map unchanged: the drill already names gfhardware/machine.py.
The supply's power-good line is active high, static across HV enable and emission, and driven; the facts bank and CAMPAIGN-LOG carry the measurement and the item closes. The kernel-drill latch-unlock guard read the old inverted value as HV not good, a check that was vacuous and would refuse every run once the module reads the line correctly; it now uses the chain's own witnesses, the charge-pump watchdog and the engine state. pgood_probe.py watches the line beside the chain through the kernel readbacks and is registered on the bench page. The dev image lists python3-mmap and python3-ctypes again for the pad-level bench tools the python trim had left without them.
Stream harness rule 21: a feed hold leaves no dark ground in either mode (lit into the hold, dark while held, lit from the first step out), with realtime and wait-state steps in the session runner. Lifecycle harness: the hold a sender change puts a running job into, the resume that re-arms a held job from the sender and from the button, a reset from a held job, and the resume after the grace closed the window in Hold. Live-fire drills: holdres (the pause as a corner in time, the re-arm after the grace); senderchg follows the hold. BRINGUP: the gapless-pause and sender-change items close, the facts bank gains the measured hold and resume behavior; CAMPAIGN-LOG records the proof and the bench runs. Acceptance: the pause-resume-lid-cancel text follows the behavior; the driver stays covered by src/**.
INSTALL.md, SERIAL.md, docs/COOLING.md, docs/LIGHTBURN.md,
docs/MOTION.md, docs/SAFETY.md, docs/UPDATE-SYSTEM.md, docs/VIDEO.md and
their images are pages on https://docs.forgefirm.org/ now. Every
reference in the README, BRINGUP, the kas config, the cold-build
workflow, forgetest, and the bench scripts points to the site page. The
README carries the beta banner. docs/ keeps BRINGUP.md and
CAMPAIGN-LOG.md.
No catalog consequence: the deleted files are documents, and the code
changes are comment and help-text repoints only.
forgectrl 161686f adds the head-accelerometer crash watch (two tiers
on the LIS2HH12's interrupt generators, armed inside the laser's
armed window). The catalog grows cooling.crash-watch-plumbing - the
unarmed half of the watch provable without a button press: accel_watch
stays at watch through an unarmed session, three zeros read as the
three crash gates off, an out-of-range threshold is refused - and
_COOL_COVERS widens to src/accel.*. The armed-tier bench drill is a
BRINGUP next-work item.
The de-risk drill script's CTRL7 write moves from bit 0 (4D_IG1) to
bit 2 (LIR1), the latch the datasheet actually puts there; the drill's
findings did not depend on latching (a continuous gravity signal).
The de-risk drill ran on the bench: the IG registers program and poll
over i2c-dev (I2C_SLAVE_FORCE) with st_accel bound, raw reads intact,
so the crash detector is forgectrl-only (BRINGUP item 6, CAMPAIGN-LOG
2026-08-31). The drill found the IG needs a running ODR: st_accel
leaves the part in power-down between one-shot reads. The script now
saves CTRL1, runs the window at 800 Hz, and restores it on exit; its
old ODR test checked the axis-enable bits instead of the ODR bits.
No catalog consequence: the change is a bench drill script, its bench
page text, and the docs record of the drill; no shipped behavior
changes.
accel_crash_probe.py arms the head LIS2HH12's on-chip interrupt
generator (IG_CFG1/IG_THS/IG_DUR1) and polls the latched IG_SRC1 for a
strike, reporting the axes and raw magnitude. It settles the bench fact
the crash detector rides on: coexist mode reaches the IG registers over
i2c-dev with I2C_SLAVE_FORCE while st_accel stays bound, so it proves
whether the detector can be forgectrl-only with the liveness path
untouched, or whether the accel must move under glowforge.ko. It touches
only the IG registers (0x30-0x35) plus the CTRL7 latch bit, never the
full scale, so st_accel's raw scaling is undisturbed; no emission, no
commanded motion by default.
Registered on the bench page (dry, board) and in the bench README.
BRINGUP item 6 now stages the drill as the committed first step, with
the readout path, per-state thresholds and the two-tier wiring owed
after it. Tooling only: no shipped component source changed, so no
acceptance-catalog consequence (the detector feature gets its case when
it is built); the bench registry test and coverage lint pass.
kas/forgefirm-glowforge-debug.yml builds one dev image on the debug
kernel (FORGEFIRM_KERNEL_DEBUG=1, tagged dev-debug) beside the closing
release and dev images; the debug options never touch either.
scripts/bench/debug_kernel_drills.py runs the two drills (three
load/unload cycles under DEBUG_MUTEXES, a forced -EPROBE_DEFER unwind),
each read against dmesg for lock splats, refusing on a non-debug kernel
or a non-idle machine; it is registered as a board bench tool. BRINGUP
item 3 names the mechanism and stays remaining work (run it on the
closing burn); the site's Build page documents the variant.
The engine acted correctly on the bench (FLAME, hold, fire blocked) but
the test read the forgectrl log tail one second after the trip, before
rsyslog put the line on disk. The two log checks poll the tail for up
to 8 s (_tail_wait) instead of reading it once.
Both tiers of the factory-shaped fire watch, proven with the lid lamp
as the flame stand-in: a q1 alert under the lamp's reading holds the
session as FLAME and does not survive into a fresh one; a q1 critical
latches FIRE with the laser latch locked; all four thresholds at zero
read as the four flame gates off; restored, the watch reads armed. Pin
forgectrl 77a643441c1c0c745a38aabebc68340d26204ce0 (the watch itself).
The TEC policy at room temperature: declared fitted with its thresholds
under the loop, a run session drives the line on and the session's end
returns it to 0; declared not fitted the line stays 0; the cross-checks
refuse off over on and off under the floor. Pin forgectrl
7d8a58035ca7fadebcae47ea9fd53ef2dd810bac (the TEC drive).
The first bench run released in 15 s on the heater slug; the engine now
judges a one-minute rolling minimum, and the test refuses a release
under 60 s. Pin forgectrl 9d0b757f492281d2628da6800db61a1f490fd125.
The catalog case for the two low-side gates: at room temperature the
start gate 1 C above the loop holds the next session in warm-up (heater
on, fans idle, fire blocked) and releases into run at the gate; with the
start gate off, a floor above the loop holds COLD; both at 0 are off and
say so; restored, everything reads as before. Pin forgectrl
5a12f55db6ac632dfc720d9937ca581a7703b7c3 (the gates themselves).
The button latch is SET by lid-open or the SoC lock and RESET by the
button only; the charge-pump watchdog feeds HV_ENABLE, not the latch.
A kernel-run gap inside an armed job drops HV_ENABLE and leaves the
latch alone, and the next run has HV_ENABLE back before its first step.
No keepalive.
laser.emission-witness carries a G4 P2 between the second and third
sides of its square and checks cnc/button_latch clear in every armed
sample, HV_ENABLE dropped across the dwell and back with emission after
it; the operator confirms all four sides.
BRINGUP: item 1 removed, items 2 to 21 are now 1 to 20, the five
cross-references follow, the flow-band sentence is in the facts bank.
CAMPAIGN-LOG: the answer, the retired item, and the unattended set run
green on the hot-deployed board (campaign c-20260831151846).
cooling.aa-offset-calibrate gives the tool 540 s (its 420 s stationary
gate plus the six edges) and says so in its steps. Pin forgectrl
7dbb5e1e55a12e6bd1364d920f46c96a3ae2d4ce (the tool settles at the flow
tools' gate before its first edge).
The stream harness gains rule 20: under M4 with the curve in force, the
accelerate-in head of a line renders less density at the default gamma
of 2 than at gamma 1 (0.317 against 0.537 on the host grid) while the
cruise middle renders identically - the exponent shapes only the
velocity-scaled rolloff, never the programmed level. The panel-serves
covers widen to the whole recorder (src/curverec.*). BRINGUP describes
the rolloff and the one-press recorder; the MOTION table gains
laser_corner_gamma; the panel help explains the knob.
The stream harness gains rule 19: with the bench-default curve in force
a ladder of S rungs renders the curve's densities exactly (half light
lands near 80 percent density), monotonic, floored and ceiled by
$35/$36; every other session pins laser_dose_curve = off so its
S-to-level arithmetic stays exact, and the arm-report checks carry the
curve name. The lifecycle harness asserts the published state file
names the curve in force. The catalog's forgectrl.panel-serves asserts
the curve field in the grbl report, /curve/status and the ladder
G-code, and its covers name the recorder.
BRINGUP describes S-commands-light through the measured curve and the
owner recorder; the MOTION table gains laser_dose_curve; LIGHTBURN
tells the operator power now means light and how to record their own
tube's curve from the panel.
The stream harness keeps the analog rendering as the host-test
conservatism reference (rule 13's mask, the duty ladders) and drops the
M101 switch sessions; rule 18 stays as the derived-floor proof, now
satisfied from boot by the precompute. The lifecycle harness's
state-files scenario asserts the derived floor is in $$ before any arm.
The catalog's laser.power-model-switch goes and laser.power-floor reads
the one floor key with no M-code needed. The mswitch drill goes; the
m4corner drill becomes a single density pass; the dpatch drill returns
to density only.
The CAMPAIGN-LOG records the first rasters (254 and 508 DPI grayscale
wedges: tonality held to ~14 pulse slots per pixel, no dither artifact,
one benign stale-verdict suppression under CPU starvation) and the
decision that ends the analog mode - the strike transient fires a spot
at every beam-on, and the finish comparison found no advantage. BRINGUP,
LIGHTBURN, MOTION and SAFETY describe the density-only present.
The lifecycle harness gains the state-files scenario: with GF_STATE_DIR
at the session workdir, grbl.settings carries the $$ view and follows
the derived floor through an M101 switch and its M2 revert, and
grbl.state follows the sender connection (a reconnect bumps the
generation), the armed window and the dose model, with ts_mono
advancing. The panel-serves catalog test asserts the /status grbl block
in GRBL mode with a live controller (fresh age, state, sender, laser,
modals) and GET /grbl/settings, and its covers name the publisher and
the serial layer; the glowforge_status.c covers entry selects nothing
until the grblHAL pin moves past the commit that adds the file. The
CAMPAIGN-LOG records the build and its proof; BRINGUP describes the
mechanism.
The stream harness gains rules 18 to 21: the floor is derived from the
selected model's config key at the arm and a typed $35 is overwritten;
M101 switches the rendering exactly at the boundary in both directions
with no continuous FIRE at full duty across it; a refused switch (the
spindle on) leaves the stream unchanged, and the harness resyncs with
an empty line because the core skips G-code after an error until the
sender resyncs; M2 reverts a program-scoped switch and Q1 holds. The
analog sessions pin laser_floor_analog at the density floor so the
existing duty expectations stand, and the density ladder's unfloored
run moves from a chained $35 write to the laser_floor_density key.
The catalog's laser.power-floor becomes model-aware: it reads the
configured model and the floor keys from forgectrl, switches to the
configured model with M101 so the derivation runs without a fire, and
expects $35 to be that model's floor. The new laser.power-model-switch
switches to each model with the spindle off, checks the reported
message and $35 after each switch, and checks the M2 revert. The new
mswitch bench drill runs the switch on the machine in one armed run.
Docs follow: BRINGUP's Laser control section describes the switch, the
derived floors and the measured dose response of both models; the
MOTION settings table gains the five keys; LIGHTBURN gains a Power
models section and drops the stale 30 percent floor advice; SAFETY
names the switch's refusal rule; the CAMPAIGN-LOG records the judged
depth-witness runs of 2026-08-30 and the switch's host and bench proof.
The pin carries the calibrate tool's sampling fix (3 s at 8 Hz a side).
aa_offset_check.py proves the correction on a machine: M8 brings the fans
to the run profile, dark, while the raw coolant counts, /status and the
engine's readings are averaged before, during and after; it turns the
flow check off for its session and restores it. On the bench page as
aa-offset-check. CAMPAIGN-LOG records the tool's first run, the applied
value (16 counts) and the proof: the readings held within 0.1 C under
the run profile where they dropped 1.0 C uncorrected. BRINGUP item 21
names what remains.
No catalog consequence: a bench tool and records.
forgectrl 25cf969 lets status.c link without the cooling engine (the
image build compiles the status host tests), so the pin moves to it;
verified with bitbake -c fetch. offset_probe.py joins the bench-page
registry (survey, ladder and jog; the armed dwell stays a hand-run mode)
and takes "survey" as a mode word.
The pin carries the compensation (cool_aa_offset_counts, the
aa-offset-calibrate diagnostic, the panel's Apply); verified with
bitbake -c fetch. The catalog gains cooling.aa-offset-calibrate, which
runs the tool and checks its recommendation and spread.
scripts/bench/offset_probe.py is the differential probe that found the
source: one actuator switched at a time with both sensors at 25 Hz
(survey), the air-assist duty ladder, the gantry jogging under the fan,
and an armed dark dwell. CAMPAIGN-LOG records the four probes and the
result; BRINGUP item 21 names the setting and the calibrate as what
remains on this machine, and item 23 opens the initial commissioning
procedure.
No catalog consequence beyond the new case: a bench tool and records.
A live catalog case: two 30 x 4 mm fills at full power on the press, the
window held open until the engine's flow verdict lands in the forgectrl
log, then M2 and the head brought back. PASS needs a verified line with
the laser's share on it (at least 0.3 C: the window and the fire
overlapped) and the judged rise at least 1 C under cool_flow_rise; an arm
refused by a gate names the gate. Passed on image 20260829190323
(heater rise 11.9 C judged, laser 0.6 off 12.5).
CAMPAIGN-LOG records the run and the day's two air-assist gate holds (a
bench connection, reseated); BRINGUP item 21 names the case.
Catalog: the case covers forgectrl src/cool.* and its neighbors; a new
test, so the manifest's coverage widens rather than moves.
CAMPAIGN-LOG: the three flowload t1 runs on the new image (judged rise
11.3, 11.1 and 11.8 C with the tube lit through most of each window, the
laser's share on the line), and Test 3, the flow check from a warm loop
(23.6 to 24.9 C baselines, 0 of 6 wrong, the 14.4 C limit 2.25 C above the
flow band and 3.67 C below the no-flow band).
flow_warm_validate.py takes the warm target and the warm-up budget as
arguments (defaults 28 C, 20 min), and the bench page passes them; the
warm-up still judges on the upstream sensor beside the heater, which is
why this run's baselines stopped near 25 C (BRINGUP item 1).
BRINGUP: item 1's open half is the loop above 25 C; item 22 holds what
remains of the flow check under load.
No catalog consequence: a bench tool's arguments and documentation; no
runtime behavior of the release image changes.
The documentation site, docs.forgefirm.org, is the one home for the
developer documentation. BUILD.md, kas/README.md, and docs/ACCEPTANCE.md
are on the site under Developers, and they are deleted here. Every
reference points at the site: README.md, BRINGUP.md, UPDATE-SYSTEM.md,
the kas configuration comments, release.sh, the CI workflow comments, and
the releases, forgetest, and bench READMEs.
BRINGUP.md: "Next work" item 16, step timing under CPU contention, is
closed; the video work resolved it. The items after it are renumbered.
CAMPAIGN-LOG.md records the closure.
Documentation and comments only. No layer content changes, so the
manifest identity of the next image does not change. No catalog
consequence.
Stream harness rules 16 and 17 with their sessions: an M5 executed with
the planner drained and the kernel run over must darken the rapids that
follow it (m5-idle), and a job whose M3 runs at the level the previous
job ended at must still fire its first cut (next-job). The second rule
is the core's contract: set_state records the rpm and the per-segment
update is skipped while it is unchanged, so the driver's set_state is
the only thing that can light that move. Both sessions run under both
dose models; the bench build that went dark on its second job fails
next-job with one fire span.
Bench drills: pcurve (a per-level ladder of 100 mm lines read from the
HV current and the head thermopile at 25 Hz, with the instrument checks
and the JSON record) and m5dark (one line, M5, two rapids, judged on the
current trace and laser_on_sampled until the armed window closes).
Catalog: laser.m5-rapid-dark, a live test of the M5 case (46 tests; the
counts in BRINGUP follow). CAMPAIGN-LOG carries the day's record: the
two curve ladders, the defect pair, the root cause, the host and bench
proof.
The dual-stack listener reports every peer as a sockaddr_in6; ulfius
2.7.15 copied sixteen bytes of it, so forgectrl's loopback-only cooling
channel refused the controller's every report (403 loopback only) and
the engine never saw a run or an armed window. The recipe carries the
patch: a sockaddr_storage allocation and a copy of the family's length,
in the dispatcher and in ulfius_copy_request.
forgetest: forgectrl.auth asserts POST /cool/state from loopback -> 200
beside the LAN 403, and covers src/peer.*. BRINGUP item 21 and the
campaign log record how the campaign on dev 20260824215906 found it.
The check reads /sys/kernel/debug/clk/sdma/clk_enable_count and fails
below 1, naming the fault directly instead of the free-space mismatch it
surfaced as after the 150 s settle. BRINGUP item 21 describes the fault
and the fix; CAMPAIGN-LOG carries the record of how it was found.

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.
forgectrl's src/ipu_copy.{c,h} sit on the GPU render path that feeds
both the JPEG grab and the H.264 encoder, so every camera.* test already
exercises them; the coverage lint reported both files uncovered. Added
to _CAM_COVERS. Lint on the tree manifest: 0 uncovered paths, 45 tests.
The first campaign with the bench actuator wired failed
motion.button-hold-resume on the tool, not the machine: the second press
was asked while the first 200 ms pulse was still on, the fixture answered
409, the runner handed the step to an operator who was not in the room,
and the post pass could not jog a controller left in Hold.
- fixture.py: a press waits for the last pulse to end (the fixture's
pulse_ms) plus a 300 ms release, so the controller sees the edge; a
409 for a pulse in progress is waited out against button_pulsing and
retried once.
- runner.py: in an unattended run a fixture refusal ends the test at
once as ERROR naming the refusal; the operator fallback stays for
attended runs.
- baseline.py: a controller in Hold or Door gets a soft reset before the
return jog, position kept.
- tests: the fake fixture refuses a press while one is in progress and
reports button_pulsing; FakeGrbl records ^X and can land a reset in a
chosen state; five new tests.
- docs: ACCEPTANCE.md fixture rules, fixture/README.md tool's side.
No catalog consequence: tool-side change, no covers map moves.
Bench: campaign c-20260824174545-0bdc 25/25 with every action by the
fixture; the hold reset proven by a dry drill.
The acceptance page is assembled by page.py from forgetest/forgetest/ui/
(index.html, page.css, help.js, app.js) plus theme.css and the vendored
Bootstrap files, which are byte for byte the ones forgectrl's panel
carries, so the two pages look like one product and share the light and
dark themes (same localStorage key). A plain file is read in a checkout;
on the dev image the recipe installs ui/ gzipped and page.py reads the
.gz sibling, inflating once at first request: the rootfs is raw ext4, so
bytes in the package are bytes on the image. The explanatory prose
(campaign rules, the queues, the campaign actions, the prerequisites
switch, the bench intro) is a "?" popover with a link into the
documentation site; operator steps, prompts, notices and the live-laser
acknowledgment stay in the page, and confirmLive() stays a blocking
dialog. The page's own rules hold: rows, prompt buttons and tool entries
are built once and updated in place, and the popovers sit on static
markup only, so no rebuild orphans one. On a phone the Run pane goes to
the top for the duration of a run.
scripts/check-ui-vendor.py compares the shared files against forgectrl
at its pinned revision (or a local checkout with --forgectrl); it runs
in forgetest-ci.yml, so the copies cannot drift.
Tests: test_page.py (the gzipped install assembles to the same bytes as
a checkout, one self-contained response, the token placeholder once, a
missing marker refused); test_server asserts the served page's
invariants; test_responsiveness keeps its rules with needles pointed at
the new files, its ASCII rule applied to our own sources (Bootstrap's
CSS carries an em dash of its own), and its self-contained rule testing
asset tags rather than the presence of https:// (the documentation links
are meant to be there). forgectrl.panel-serves gains two needles for the
panel's theme attribute and save bar. Proof: the unit suite, and the
page in Chrome against a fake catalog (both themes, popovers, the bench
tab, a full operator run with its prompt, abort).
forgectrl pinned at 9d1f6f2 (the panel on Bootstrap, one save bar, help
popovers, themes, the gzipped page); PV unchanged. The pin moves only
forgectrl's fingerprint. The forgetest changes are the harness's own and
have no catalog consequence.
The stream conversion now runs on the GC880 when the image carries the
GL stack, and /cam/h264 serves the same picture as fragmented MP4 in a
fraction of MJPEG's bytes (forgectrl 6573abd). This side supplies what
that needs and holds it to account:
- Distro: opengl stays a feature, with mesa trimmed to exactly the
path used (gallium etnaviv, GLES/EGL/GBM, no GLX, no display
platforms). Image: libegl-mesa, libgles2-mesa, libgbm,
mesa-megadriver. forgectrl dlopens them, so an image without them
still streams on NEON. Platform change: the next campaign is full.
- forgetest: camera.h264-stream exercises the endpoint end to end
(codec header, init segment, media fragments, /cam/status encoder
state) and accepts a clean 503 on a machine without the stack;
the camera covers name the new forgectrl files.
- VIDEO.md 5.6 now describes both streams and why H.264 earns its
place (the WiFi transmit path measures about 7 percent of the core
per MB/s sent); BRINGUP records the bench-validation checklist as
Next work item 20, including the release-size watch: mesa must fit
the 200 MiB slot gate.
The pin picks up /status carrying CPU and memory utilization (sys:
cpu_pct over the interval since the previous read, mem_pct from
MemTotal against MemAvailable) with the panel rows under the board
temperatures. forgectrl.panel-serves now re-reads /status after a
beat and asserts both percents are numbers in range, so the catalog
exercises the new telemetry on the bench.
The mDNS lookup sends its query from every local IPv4 interface (a
host whose default route is a VPN or a VM adapter never reached the
bench network), binds the mDNS port and joins the group as two
separate steps (a group join that fails left the socket half bound),
and a failed send is no answer rather than an error. The runner says
"running without it" once per reason, not on every 30 s probe.
