A new catalog test for the one subscription the extension host holds and the poll a package reads it with. The reference service learns from GET /v0/self whether it was granted events and polls POST /v0/events only then, so every other test keeps the half-second heartbeat those tests watch; what it polled and what it saw go in its data directory. What it proves on the machine: the host holds the stream while one package wants it and lets it go when none does; a poll that names its place and has nothing to be told comes back at its own deadline and not before, while the first poll, which only asks where the present is, comes back at once; the lid opened and closed on the fixture reaches the package as lid events, in order and numbered, which also proves a waiting poll is woken rather than left to time out; and with the three ordinary streams taken the host's subscription is still there while a LAN client that asks for the host's slot by name is refused, because only a loopback peer may claim it. The three ordinary streams each bind a source address of their own. The cap counts peer addresses, and the kernel sends every loopback connection from 127.0.0.1 whatever address it was aimed at, so three streams without that would replace each other and leave two slots free. The first run of this test said a LAN client had been admitted; it had been, correctly, to a slot the test had failed to fill. Proven. The unit suite: 451 tests, and the coverage lint passes. On the bench reference, image 20260921171224 with the cross-built forgectrl and extension host mounted over the image's: exthost.events PASS, and beside it exthost.service, exthost.armed-freeze, exthost.hold-pause-tier and events.stream PASS. Against the image's own daemons exthost.events FAILS at its first new check, as it should. The bench was left as found, GRBL mode, no mounts. Acceptance. exthost.events covers forgeext's src/evfeed.*, src/api.* and src/run.*, and forgectrl's src/events.* and src/main.c.
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.
