_press_taken recorded the press as the fixture's for every FixtureError
that arrived with the button out. That included failures in which the
box made no press for the request: its refusal (a 401, or the 409 of a
jumper pulled after the probe), a failed mDNS lookup, a refused
connect. When the person at the machine pressed meanwhile, or the arm
wait ended for another reason, the evidence and the exported artifact
gave the box a press it never made, and press_now returned True.
FixtureError now carries `sent`: True when the failure came after the
request went out (a timeout or a reset once the request was sent,
which urllib raises bare; a failed connect or send is a URLError), so
the box may have pressed. The one retry after a fresh lookup keeps it,
also when the lookup itself fails. A refusal and a failed lookup leave
it False. With the button out, _press_taken still puts up no notice,
and it records the press as the fixture's only for a sent error;
otherwise the record stays the operator's, and press_now returns
whether the fixture pressed. No judge reads `by`, and no energy path
changes.
Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest): test_fixture.py runs 22 tests, OK on Ubuntu
24.04 with python 3.12, and on Windows with python 3.14 with
test_ready_reads_a_short_press_as_an_edge skipped (no os.mkfifo).
test_a_failure_after_the_request_went_out_says_so drives the real
client against the fake box: a press whose reply comes after the
client's timeout is sent, with one press, also when the refresh lookup
after it finds nothing; the jumper-out refusal, a failed lookup and a
refused connect are not sent, with no press.
test_the_arm_notice_comes_down_when_the_press_is_taken gains the leg
where the box refuses while the button goes out: press_now returns
False with no notice and the record the operator's, and arm_press
leaves the same. test_server.py (10), test_operator.py (17),
test_queue.py (15), test_mode.py (9), test_setup_dark.py (21) and
test_setup_burns.py (24) pass on both. Negative controls on scratch
copies: _press_taken giving every failure to the box fails the refusal
leg (press_now True); `sent` never set fails the first client leg;
`sent` set for a URLError too fails the refused-connect leg; the retry
that drops the flag fails the retry leg. 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); fixture.py
is in none. 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

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.
