ScottW514 4e47b7fbf1 forgetest: exthost.catalog, and the coverage lint no longer allows an advisory away
exthost.catalog (suite/extcat.py, its own module): GET /ext/catalog
answers the index the host keeps and the one address it is fetched from.
On a scratch root under /tmp, with a throwaway key standing in for the
OpenGlow extension key, the machine's own forgeext keeps an index signed
with it, and the author key it names for one id makes a package of that
id read as community and endorsed, where before it was unverified; the
same key on another id counts for nothing. On the machine's own root that
index is refused in words, a package handed over as an index is refused
by the product gate, and the index kept is left as it was. The relay
refuses an id with no such form (400) and one the kept index does not
list (404, or 409 with none kept) before anything is fetched, and a
refresh from the fixed address keeps OpenGlow's index when one is
published there and is 502 in curl's words when none is, the kept index
left as it was. Nothing is left in the staging directory.

The coverage lint had a gap: coverage_report() let the allowlist's
docs/** and **/*.md take out a path the BEHAVIORAL list keeps in every
fingerprint, so the four first-run advisory documents were covered by no
test and the lint passed. A change to the privacy advisory would have
invalidated nothing. A behavioral path is now never allowed away, and
setup.advisories-rehash, which accepts every first-run document at its
current hash, covers the four.

Proof: on the bench reference, with forgectrl 848ccc1 and forgeext
a64b933 bind-mounted and the privacy document accepted again at its new
hash with the fixture's press, exthost.catalog PASS (the refresh was 502:
GitHub answered 404, nothing is published at the address yet), and
setup.advisories-rehash PASS with the rest of the campaign. The lint's
new unit test reports the uncovered advisory, and the old reading (the
override ignored) reports nothing for it, which is the gap. forgetest's
unit tests pass (452), and the coverage lint passes with --enforce.

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
GF_SYSFS_ROOT /sys/glowforge/ kernel module sysfs
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.
