- The presence press at the Ready gate polled forgectrl's /status over HTTPS every 0.25 s plus the request's own time, so a short press fell between two reads and the operator held the button for seconds. It is read as an edge from the switches' input events (hw.ButtonEdges, no grab), opened before the notice goes up: a press of any length counts. Events read and not yet looked at are kept, so a short press whose release arrives in the same read gives the release to the next wait. With no switches device (the host harnesses) the status is polled at 50 ms. - An operator's arm notice (arm_press, press_now) stood until the test's next step, over a press already taken. A watcher takes it down the moment the controller puts the button out at the press; a notice put up meanwhile is left alone. Proof: host tests: a press and release written back to back on a FIFO standing in for the switches' device pass the Ready gate in well under a second with the status never showing the button down (the first version dropped the release with the press and waited 10 s: the test caught it); the arm notice stays while the button is dark or lit and goes down when it goes out, and a notice put up meanwhile stays. The fixture (35), setup (87), manifest (26) and operator (22) host tests pass. Acceptance: these are the harness's own paths; every live and operator test with a press runs through them.
forgetest - the ForgeFIRM release acceptance tool
The daemon behind http://<machine>:8090/ on the dev image: runs the
acceptance catalog against the machine, keeps the append-only result log,
decides which results still apply to the image that is running, exports
the release artifact scripts/release.sh gates on, and serves the bench
diagnostics page. The contract - catalog, campaigns, fingerprints,
inheritance, the gate, the coverage rule - is
the Acceptance page of the documentation site.
Run the host tests
cd forgetest
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
Run the daemon on a workstation (against a mock or a manifest file)
FORGETEST_DATA=/tmp/ft FORGETEST_MANIFEST=../tree-manifest.json \
FORGECTRL_URL=http://<machine> python3 -m forgetest --port 8090
scripts/manifest-from-tree.py produces tree-manifest.json from the recipe
pins; the coverage lint is python3 -m forgetest.coverage --manifest ....

Adding a test
Register it in the subsystem module under forgetest/suite/ with
@test(...): id subsystem.name, kind, hardware, mode (the controller
mode the test needs; the runner switches to it first), covers,
requires, always, steps. The body gets a Context (log, check, fail,
prompt, confirm, instruct, sleep, evidence, forgectrl, sysfs,
grbl, takeover). Return normally for PASS, raise runner.Failed for
FAIL. Then run the unit tests and the coverage lint.
