ScottW514 a596767a9a forgetest: a press the fixture could not make leaves a notice that comes down at the press
press_now and arm_press hand the arm press to the operator when the
bench actuator refuses it (the box is off) or when the button never
lights for it within the arm wait, and put the notice up for a person.
Those three fallbacks raised the notice without the watch that takes
it down at the press, so the notice stood until the test's next step:
the second-press hazard the watch exists for, because a press during
the job pauses it. Each fallback now calls _clear_when_taken() after
its notice, so the notice comes down the moment the controller takes
the press, as the operator's own path does. No press, judge, or energy
path changes.

Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest), on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12:
test_fixture.py's test_the_arm_notice_comes_down_when_the_press_is_taken
gains the leg where the fixture cannot press: press_now's notice for a
refused press, arm_press's notice for a refused press, and arm_press's
notice for a button that never lit each come down within 2 s of the
press. Three runs OK, the file's 21 tests OK. Negative control on a
scratch copy: the leg against the runner without the three calls fails
at the first press, the notice still standing. pyflakes reports no
undefined name.

Acceptance: every catalog test's fingerprint moves: runner.py is a
shared judge, in every implementation hash (43 of 43 move). Against
the campaign this series already needs, that adds no run: 850498f
moved all 43 once. tests/ are in none.

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.
