The stream conversion now runs on the GC880 when the image carries the GL stack, and /cam/h264 serves the same picture as fragmented MP4 in a fraction of MJPEG's bytes (forgectrl 6573abd). This side supplies what that needs and holds it to account: - Distro: opengl stays a feature, with mesa trimmed to exactly the path used (gallium etnaviv, GLES/EGL/GBM, no GLX, no display platforms). Image: libegl-mesa, libgles2-mesa, libgbm, mesa-megadriver. forgectrl dlopens them, so an image without them still streams on NEON. Platform change: the next campaign is full. - forgetest: camera.h264-stream exercises the endpoint end to end (codec header, init segment, media fragments, /cam/status encoder state) and accepts a clean 503 on a machine without the stack; the camera covers name the new forgectrl files. - VIDEO.md 5.6 now describes both streams and why H.264 earns its place (the WiFi transmit path measures about 7 percent of the core per MB/s sent); BRINGUP records the bench-validation checklist as Next work item 20, including the release-size watch: mesa must fit the 200 MiB slot gate.
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.
