ScottW514 7b8f72b632 Run the commissioning sheet as a fresh machine, and pin forgectrl 0.1.18 (the lens frame)
forgectrl f8ddb17 puts the lens frame in one place and writes the focus
window before the card's controller starts, after two commissioning
cards ended in ALARM:2 on a Z the wizard sent from one source while the
controller's Z limit stood on another. The acceptance run had passed
only because the bench's settings already held the stops from an
earlier focus run, so the run is now a fresh machine's.

commission.sheet clears the three lens settings inside its Restore
before the cards, checks that the frame runs in the fallback window,
and, after the focus card, that the settings hold the window the ladder
ran in (the stops found or the fallback), that every ladder height lies
in that window's reach, and that the program served now agrees with
/status. Every served program's Z is checked against the reach /status
reports before the card starts, so a stray Z fails the test with nothing
burned. The test covers src/lens.*. The host mock in
tests/test_commission_sheet.py mirrors the daemon (the /status lens block
from the settings, the ladder served from the settings, the window
written at the focus start); two regression tests reproduce the defects:
a focus result naming a window the settings do not hold, and a served
program with a Z beyond the reach. 10/10 green.

scripts/bench/z_envelope_test.py, the grblHAL CI harness, adds the
referenced-lens cases: with forgectrl's marker and the shared settings,
the fallback window and a 14/20 window run to the ends of their reach
and two half-steps past either end alarms, and a count of 41 falls back
on its side alone. Passed on the null-sink build. The bench page's
description of the harness follows.

The forgectrl pin moves to f8ddb17 (0.1.18); every test covering
forgectrl re-runs.

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_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

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.
