ScottW514 1191389a2b forgetest: no press is ever held; the arm notice goes down at the press
- 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 ....

Environment

Variable Default Purpose
FORGETEST_DATA /data/forgetest results.jsonl, bench.jsonl, token, export/
FORGETEST_MANIFEST /etc/forgefirm-manifest.json the image manifest
FORGETEST_PORT, FORGETEST_HOST 8090, 0.0.0.0 listener
FORGETEST_BENCH_DIR /usr/share/forgetest/bench the installed bench scripts
FORGETEST_BENCH_DATA <FORGETEST_DATA>/bench passed to bench tools: where they keep their data files (with GF_HOST=127.0.0.1 and the panel token in GF_TOKEN)
FORGETEST_MARKER /run/forgetest.active takeover marker
FORGECTRL_URL, FORGECTRL_TOKEN_FILE http://127.0.0.1, /data/forgefirm/panel.token forgectrl client (HTTP; the token authorizes writes from the board)
FORGECTRL_TLS_URL https://127.0.0.1 forgectrl over HTTPS (self-signed, unverified), for the login test
GF_SYSFS_ROOT /sys/glowforge/ kernel module sysfs
GRBL_HOST, GRBL_PORT 127.0.0.1, 23 Grbl TCP

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.
