MachineNameTests runs the layer's own forgefirm-hostname and forgefirm-banner in private mount, UTS and network namespaces: /run a fresh tmpfs, a scratch directory over /sys/class/net, /etc a read-only overlay with the scratch hostname and issue over the host's (so each script makes its copy under /run/forgefirm and writes through its own bind mount, as at boot). unshare -Urmun where user namespaces are open, sudo -n unshare -mun otherwise; skipped only where neither makes a namespace. - the name: wlan0's last four hex digits (forgefirm-12ab with eth0 beside it), eth0's with no wlan0, eth0's with a zero wlan0 MAC; the live name and /etc/hostname agree. - the banner: the image's text, then the heading and one URL per global address of wlan0 (a veth carrying 192.0.2.5, 2001:db8::5 and fe80::5): https://192.0.2.5/ and https://[2001:db8::5]/, the link-local address left out, no marker line, no .local name. Proof: test_image.py under Linux by both namespace routes (9 tests OK), and on Windows with the two skipped. Mutants of scratch copies of the scripts, each failing: eth0 read before wlan0, a zero MAC taken, the file written without the script's bind mount, a marker line in the banner, a .local URL, the link-local address kept. setup.machine-name stays: the DHCP client's -x hostname and no mDNS responder on the image are image content. Nothing under meta-forgefirm changed.
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.
