The x32 default landed in forgetest/baseline.py and the driver, but two callers still judged the machine at x8 and both failed on the host. forgetest/tests/test_baseline.py: setUp seeded the fake machine from the x8 FIXED_SYSFS literals while enforce() compares against fixed_sysfs() of the resolved mode, so x_mode, y_mode, step_freq and ramp_rate read as deviations on a clean machine - 23 failures across BaselineTests and TransientNotLeftoverTests. It seeds from fixed_sysfs() now, and the tick expectations come from it (DEFAULT_TICK) rather than a typed 28160. The xy_mode_of and ref_xy_mode unset/invalid cases expect 32, with an explicit "8" case added that had no coverage. Two reference_preconfig dumps taken on an x8 machine carry xy_microsteps = 8, because the markers are read at the reference's own mode. wait_configured wrote the static CONFIGURED_MARKERS where the function watches configured_markers() of the mode in force, and the held-controller jog typed 221 steps for "4.144 mm", which is 1.036 mm at x32; both derive from the mode now. 69 tests, all pass. scripts/bench/laser_stream_test.py: STEPS_PER_MM was the x8 53.333, so the X-peak check failed at 2133 steps against an expected 533. The whole harness now derives from XY_MICROSTEPS_BASE/DEFAULT the way glowforge.h and baseline.py do, which uncovered five more x8-only expectations behind the first: the machine tick, the fire-gap limit (it grows as sqrt(k), not k - a finer mode shortens the accel interval by sqrt(k) while speeding the tick by k), the rung split in fire_spans, the density period and minimum burst (laser_pulse_ticks is in x8 ticks and the stream scales it, so the config keeps the x8 numbers and the measured lengths scale), and the decel/hold budgets. Run against the null-sink build: all stream emission rules hold. xy_mode_test.py's docstring still described the no-key case as x8 while its own assertions had moved to x32. No behavior change and no acceptance-catalog consequence: these are test expectations and a bench harness, not image component sources. The coverage lint is unchanged at 0 uncovered paths.
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.
