ScottW514 f274eb1137 cooling.gate-off: let each run session end before opening the next
On the bench the test tripped the gate and then failed its off leg: its
M9 and the next M8 were 300 ms apart, the GRBL client reports at 1 Hz
and the engine samples at 1 Hz, so the engine never saw the session
end, the next M8 was not a new run start, and the ceiling was never
re-read. Every M9 now waits for the engine's phase to leave run before
the next M8, and an M8 refuses to open on a session still running.

The failure path restores the settings and then cycles a run session
too: the engine reads settings at run start only, so restoring the file
alone left the bench holding OVERTEMP against the test's 6 C ceiling
until the operator's next job. The scripted engine in the host cases
models the report period, and two cases pin both rules.

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, 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.
