ScottW514 68fd35b8b7 exthost: the reference package uses its API socket, and raises its own hold
The reference service talks to the host over the socket named in FFX_API
and takes machine.read. exthost.service adds, from the inside: GET /v0/self
names the package and what it may use; GET /v0/machine/mode is forgectrl's
answer; a hold it was not granted is 403, a path the API does not have
404, a path with .. 400; FFX_API is in the fixed environment. From the
outside: the socket is root's and the account's at 0660, and another pool
account that connects to it gets EACCES (a new probe mode).

exthost.hold-pause-tier adds the package's own word. The test leaves what
to say in the service's data directory and the service passes it on as
POST /v0/hold: raised, the verdict is EXT with the package's words and fire
withheld; words the form does not take are refused and the hold reads as
before; cleared, the verdict is OK. Then the rest as before: the host's own
raise for a package that ends at every start, the operator's exits, the
stale file under a suspended host.

Proven. The unit suite: 451 tests, 0 undefined names. On the bench
reference, image 20260921130558 with the cross-built host mounted over
the image's: exthost.service PASS, exthost.hold-pause-tier PASS (the
package's hold stood 1.5 s after it raised it; held 2.0 s after the
service was killed; safe mode released it in 0.8 s, extensions off in
1.1 s), exthost.armed-freeze PASS with the changed reference service.
Against the image's own host, which gives a service no socket,
exthost.service FAILS, as it should.

Acceptance. Both tests already cover forgeext whole (exthost.service) and
the hold's files by name (exthost.hold-pause-tier); neither covers map
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 ....

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.
