A live catalog case: two 30 x 4 mm fills at full power on the press, the window held open until the engine's flow verdict lands in the forgectrl log, then M2 and the head brought back. PASS needs a verified line with the laser's share on it (at least 0.3 C: the window and the fire overlapped) and the judged rise at least 1 C under cool_flow_rise; an arm refused by a gate names the gate. Passed on image 20260829190323 (heater rise 11.9 C judged, laser 0.6 off 12.5). CAMPAIGN-LOG records the run and the day's two air-assist gate holds (a bench connection, reseated); BRINGUP item 21 names the case. Catalog: the case covers forgectrl src/cool.* and its neighbors; a new test, so the manifest's coverage widens rather than moves.
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>:8080 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.
