The cloud job tests (lid-abort, lid-during-button-wait, hunt-lid-open,
pause-resume) run in cloud mode and leave the machine there: enter_cloud
reuses a live session (pid-scoped from the client's own websocket state
lines) and switches once from GRBL mode, declaring the change to the
baseline; nothing switches back. Each test judges the log from its own
window, the print by its own "print [id]: finished" line, and waits the
service's follow-up moves out (wait_quiet) before it ends. hunt-lid-open
restarts the cloud client through the supervisor's stop/start lever for
a fresh connect. The former switch-back is what failed the last bench run
of hunt-lid-open (409 machine is not idle: the service was still
re-finding the head after the lid closed).
The baseline is mode-aware: in cloud mode the client owns the GRBL
controller's init values, the lid lamp, and the position counters; the
mode itself is preserved unless the run declared the change
(Context.mode_changed); controller_mode is never handed back as a bare
setting (a bare write left the persisted mode out of step with the live
one). The undeclared-change restore now uses the captured state, which
the post pass never saw before.
The acceptance page gets an "Ignore prerequisites" switch (remembered by
the browser): POST /start {ignore_requires} starts a test whose requires
are unmet, and the run records the unmet prerequisites in its evidence
and log; they stay required for the release. The cloud tests' requires
no longer chain through cloud.mode-switch.
Proof: tests/test_cloud_suite.py replays the four tests on the bench's
own gfcloud excerpts (fixtures/) and the run loop's emitted pause/resume
lines under the real runner Context against a fake forgectrl; baseline
mode tests and the server override test; the whole suite (98) and the
coverage lint pass. Catalog consequence: cloud.* fingerprints move with
the module; the catalog hash moves with the requires.
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 ....

Adding a test
Register it in the subsystem module under forgetest/suite/ with
@test(...): id subsystem.name, kind, hardware, 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.
