motion.soft-limits homed only when the machine was not homed already, and then with whatever homing_mode the machine had: it counted on the home cloud.mode-switch used to leave behind. cloud.mode-switch now drops its camera home when it hands the head back, so the test started unhomed, and under the operator's homing_mode = manual its $H was a manual home, declared at once where the head stood (2.2 s, no web-service session), and the test failed on gfhome's missing completion line. When it did home, it left the head at the corner and the machine homed. The test now sets homing_mode = gfcloud and unsets the camera-home offsets for its run, so the envelope is the bed from the home corner, and always runs its own camera home, every motion of it judged whole (homeoff.judge_whole_motions). A setting is written when the controller takes it (it refuses one for a moment after a Grbl client closes). At the end the settings are put back as found and homeoff.camera_home_return drops the home and jogs the head back to where the test found it. The helpers are imported inside the function: homeoff imports this module. Proof: on the bench reference, image 20260925183749 with this file mounted, motion.soft-limits PASS: the camera home in 52.6 s, every motion completed; X max, Y max and X min refused with ALARM:2 and no motion, the jog past the bed refused with error 15, the move inside the bed ran and came back; the settings put back; the head jogged back 28.95/13.03 mm to where the test found it; the baseline clean. forgetest 499 OK. Acceptance: the test is the change; its fingerprint moves and no other test's does.
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.
