forgectrl's POST /cool/state now asks for the secret the supervisor hands the running controller at its spawn; both controllers' cooling clients send it. scripts/bench/cool_report_test.py is the driver's host harness for it (null-sink controller, a stand-in for forgectrl's listener on FORGECTRL_PORT): every report carries the secret and no other new header; none does when there is none; a value that is not 32 hex digits, a CR LF with a header behind it included, never reaches the wire; the homing runner the controller starts does not inherit the secret. It is in the bench registry and the bench README, and the driver's CI runs it. forgectrl.auth: the loopback case used to assert that any local peer is accepted. It now asserts the three answers: no secret 403, a made-up secret 403, and the running controller's own secret 200, read as only root on the machine can read it, out of the controller's environment, and never logged. The LAN cases carry the secret too and are still refused. cooling.report-channel is new, the drill the change exists for: M8 opens a run session, three forged idle reports from this host (no secret, a made-up one, a made-up one with a forged Host) are each refused, and over the next five seconds the engine stays in phase run and no commanded fan duty drops; M9 ends the session on the controller's own report. Proven. The harness passes on the host-built controller, with three negative controls that each fail as they should. The unit suite passes (421) with no undefined name. On the bench reference, forgectrl and both clients hot-deployed over image 20260920152153: forgectrl.auth PASS, cooling.report-channel PASS (phase run throughout, the exhaust at 65535 and the intake at 43278), and cooling.fans-quiet-after-motion and motion.job PASS on the same binaries. Acceptance. forgectrl.auth and cooling.report-channel are the gate for the report channel's secret; cloud.dark-print gates the cloud client's side.
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.
