The reference service takes two more lid-camera frames through its API socket, with the camera's lamp at 0 and at 1023, and one with a lamp past its range. The test holds both named frames to being JPEGs, the lit one the larger (the lamp reached the camera and changed the picture), and the out-of-range one to a 400 that names the lamp. The service's text is shared by every exthost test, and every one of them already covers forgeext's api.c and run.c, which this change moves, so no test is made stale that was not stale already. Proof: on the bench reference, image 20260922225653 with forgeext cd8b471b and forgectrl 9c9ee557 bind-mounted, exthost.platform and exthost.service PASS: 51,561 bytes at lamp 0, 109,850 at lamp 1023, and lamp 5000 refused.
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.
