ScottW514 b54b94e8ae forgetest: the bench actuator plugs into the action seam
fixture.py: the bench's /data/forgetest/fixture.json (hostname, key,
optional ip, the channels wired, arm_press), a resolver for
<hostname>.local asked of the network directly (the image has no mDNS
resolver), and the client. The runner probes it before every run and
at most every 30 s otherwise; ctx.act asks it for a channel it covers
and still waits for the machine's own reading, falling back to the
operator's notice when the box fails. A test declares with hands=(...)
what it asks of a person beyond its typed actions; an operator test
with none, whose actions the fixture covers, is routed into the
unattended queue, its Ready gates pass, and a prompt it raises anyway
is a FAIL naming the undeclared step. Live tests never move; their arm
press stays a person's unless the bench opted in, in which case the
fixture presses when the button lights. Whatever the box still holds
after a run is released before the baseline's post pass and recorded.
The page shows what the fixture covers. Contract in ACCEPTANCE.md; the
wiring facts, with the interlock connector left to the bench to settle
(SAFETY.md and the sister map differ), in BRINGUP.

Catalog unchanged in its definitions; the cloud and laser suites'
shared code moved, so their implementation hashes move with it.

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 docs/ACCEPTANCE.md.

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 ....

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://127.0.0.1:8080, /data/forgefirm/panel.token forgectrl client
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.
