ScottW514 754c239e08 test_image: the hostname and the banner scripts, run over a scratch tree
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 ....

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.
