The reference package is installed with the hold grant through the host's command line and never runs (extensions stay as found, so the test needs no takeover). GET /ext/status is refused without the login and, with it, lists the package as the host does beside enabled, safe_mode, and the host's own status with running true and the living host's pid. POST /ext/package: hold-required and hold-advisory name and un-name the package under required-holds; disable and enable change the host's state file; an action outside the closed list, an action with a shell's words in it, an id that has not the form of one, and an id with a path in it are 400 and leave the state file byte for byte; a package that is not installed is 409 in the host's words; without the login 403 with the package still there; remove takes the package, its data, and its name away. The key and the work directory are removed and the extension root is as found. Proven. The unit suite: 451 tests, 0 undefined names. On the bench reference, image 20260921140920 with the cross-built forgectrl and extension host mounted over the image's: PASS; against the image's own forgectrl, FAIL at its first request. Acceptance. The test is new: auto. It covers forgectrl's src/extpkg.* and src/main.c and forgeext's src/main.c, src/install.*, and src/state.*, and requires exthost.service and forgectrl.auth.
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.
