ScottW514 3d2f2d9ab4 forgetest: the arm-notice watch ends with its notice and the run
_clear_when_taken takes the operator's arm notice down the moment the
controller takes the press (the button lights for the arm wait and
goes out at the press). Its watch thread polled the button LEDs every
50 ms with the arm's timeouts as its only exits: 30 minutes for the
button to light, 90 minutes in all. Nothing in it read the run's end,
the abort event, or whether the notice it guarded still stood, so a
test that ended before the press (a FAIL on the way to the arm) left a
thread reading up to six sysfs files twenty times a second behind it.

The watch now lives only as long as the notice it guards and the run:
a notice cleared or replaced, a run that finished, or an abort ends
it. `standing()` reads both under the run's lock on every poll, and
the poll waits on the run's abort event instead of sleeping, so an
abort ends the wait at once. The cadence stays 50 ms: the notice still
drops within 50 ms of the press. The watch commands nothing; no press,
judge, or energy path changes.

Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest), on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12:
test_fixture.py's test_the_arm_notice_comes_down_when_the_press_is_taken
gains the leg that a run finished before the press ends the watch
within 2 s and leaves the finished run's notice as it was; the file's
21 tests pass; test_setup_burns.py, whose burns reach the watch
through press_now, passes its 19 tests and leaves no
forgetest-arm-notice thread behind (10 before this change); and
test_server.py, test_operator.py and test_queue.py pass. Negative control on a scratch
copy: the new leg against the unchanged runner fails with the
forgetest-arm-notice thread still alive after the run finished.
pyflakes reports no undefined name.

Acceptance: every catalog test's fingerprint moves: runner.py is a
shared judge, in every implementation hash (43 of 43 move). Against
the campaign this series already needs, that adds no run: 850498f
moved all 43 once. tests/ are in none.

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

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.
