ScottW514 952e7dc32d exthost.events: the machine's events reach a package
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 ....

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

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.
