An extension package is software the image does not carry, and a result taken beside one is not a result about the image. Two places hold the line. The baseline (_ext_side, in every pre and post pass): a package under the tests' own prefix (org.forgetest.) and an owner key named forgetest-*.pub are what a test made and left behind; they are removed (forgeext remove, the key's file), recorded as restored, and the host stops the service on its next turn. A process that still runs under a pool account after that belongs to the operator's own packages: it is recorded as unrestorable and never touched. An installed package that does not run is nobody's leftover. hw.pool_pids() reads each process's Uid line; hw.ext_packages() lists the package directory. image.health (5b): the extension host is one process (/usr/bin/forgeext run), its start link sorts after forgectrl's and its kill link before it, no package is installed, and nothing runs under a pool account. Proven. test_baseline.py, ExtensionFreeTests, over a stand-in forgeext and a fake package tree: an installed package that does not run leaves nothing; a test's package and key are removed and the operator's package and key stay; a removal that fails says so in the host's own words; running extensions are reported and left alone. The unit suite passes (451 tests, 0 undefined names). The link order image.health asks for is the one the built root filesystems of image 20260921014201 have: S90forgectrl before S91forgeext, K09forgeext before K90forgectrl. Acceptance. image.health gains forgeext's init/** in its covers map; it runs first in every campaign and is the on-image proof of 5b. The baseline is harness, outside the suite and outside every fingerprint.
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.
