cooling.fans-quiet-after-motion sat silent for four minutes on the bench and then failed. Its idle reference was the tachs one second after the baseline saw the engine go idle, while the previous test's fans were still coasting at the cooldown level (exhaust 5030 rpm against a true idle of 0), so it then waited for the fans to come back UP to a level that was never idle. The cooldown wait printed nothing while it waited. The reference now needs the engine idle, the idle duty applied to both fan channels, and three consecutive tach samples that agree; the pass condition is the idle duty back and the tachs at or below that reference (lower is quieter, never a fault); M8 must visibly raise the duty; and every sample of both waits is logged with the phase and the duty, so the run pane shows the fans coasting down rather than a hang. Proof: tests/test_cooling_suite.py replays the test under the real Context against a scripted machine (fake forgectrl, fake sysfs duties, fake Grbl port): an idle machine passes, the bench case (fans coasting when the test starts) passes with the reference taken after the coast, fans left on fail with the reference in the message, and a reference that never settles fails before anything is jogged. No catalog consequence beyond the suite module's own hash.
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.
