ScottW514 965f7c3ca9 The cooling report secret: a driver harness, and two catalog tests
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 ....

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
GF_SYSFS_ROOT /sys/glowforge/ kernel module sysfs
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.
