ScottW514 800863fb09 forgetest: the cloud tests wait out the service's thinking
wait_quiet took the machine as quiet after 8 s without the start of a
motion, a park, a run or a lens homing. Between a lid image and its next
move the service is working on the image and the log is silent, and on
the bench reference the re-hunt's moves came 9.6 s apart: cloud.mode-switch
switched back to GRBL mode in the middle of the re-hunt, twice, the first
time canceling a motion at 988 of its 1002 steps.

Every line of a service action now counts as activity: the requests, the
image uploads, the action ends, the runs, the parks, the motions and the
lens homing. The quiet is 30 s. Over 1901 motion, lid-image and hunt
requests in the bench reference's logs, half came within 1.6 s of the
line before, 99 percent within 12.8 s, and two after more than 30 s
(32.8 and 62.2 s).

return_head goes: cloud.mode-switch hands its cloud stretch back through
the cloud client's log (homeoff.cloud_mode_return), and nothing else
called it. RETURN_MAX_MM moves to homeoff, its one user.

Proof: tests/test_cloud_suite.py's new case lands a motion, a lid image
0.8 s later and the next move 1.6 s after the motion, with the quiet at
1 s: the quiet comes after the move. With the old activity marks it is
declared after the image, before the move. forgetest 499 OK.

Acceptance: cloud.mode-switch gates the change on a machine, its re-hunt
waited out before the switch back. The fingerprints of every test in
suite/cloud.py and of every module that imports from it move: 29 tests,
the cloud tests, events.button-telemetry, the exthost tests,
homing.cloud-offsets and setup.check-envelope.

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.
