The cloud client turns a print away before the button wait for four reasons of its own (machine._safe_to_move): the lid or the interlock, a machine that is not idle, the coolant above its start ceiling (THERMAL.max_start_temp), a coolant sensor that reads nothing. It logs the reason and finishes the print ':cancelled' within a millisecond. The four tests that wait for the button looked only for the wait, so on the bench reference, with the loop at 27.4 C against the ceiling of 27, cloud.dark-print sat out its 120 s and said "the print never reached the button wait". wait_button_wait replaces the four waits: it ends on the print's finish line as well, and fails with the client's own lines, for example "the client turned the print away before the button wait: INFO machine:_safe_to_move machine temp is too high, temp: 27.4 (... finished with event ":cancelled")". The ceiling is the client's and stays where it is: the remedy for a warm loop is airflow, a run session for a minute or two. Proven. test_a_print_turned_away_before_the_button_fails_at_once_with_the_reason replays the bench reference's lines and fails in under 30 s with that reason; with the early exit disabled it fails after the full 120 s with the old words. Each reason is a line the pinned cloud library can log, so the phrase check passes. The unit suite passes (422) with no undefined name. On the bench reference, image 20260920211625 with this cloud.py over the image's, cloud.dark-print passes through the new wait with the loop at 25.8 C. Acceptance. cloud.dark-print, cloud.verdict-refuse, cloud.lid-during-button-wait, and every test that starts an offline print go through the new wait. The helper is module text, so every cloud.py test's fingerprint moves; no product behavior changes.
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.
