Two host harnesses for the grblHAL driver's null-sink build, in the bench
registry and the README with the others. The driver's CI runs them.
ctlport_test.py drives the controller port beside a scripted Grbl sender
that counts every ok and error it is sent, which is the only way to see a
status routed to the wrong source. 13 cases: the socket's mode; a port
jog's status going to the port with the sender's count exact and the jog
run whole under the sender's '?' polls; a port error the sender's next line
does not inherit; the sender's line canceling a fast port jog and drawing
its own ok (fast on purpose: a slow jog stops at once and would pass with no
hold at all); a sender line queued right behind the port's; the refusals;
one client, and five reconnects right after a close; the status hook across
a soft reset; the dead-man; a CR LF sender; a sender that polls the way
LightBurn does, '?' with an end of line behind it, LF and CR LF (every port
jog accepted, a 60 mm port jog run whole with the polls landing inside it,
one ok per poll, a real line still canceling a port jog); and every
operation of both sets under an open armed window with M3 modal and S500,
where the dump must hold no FIRE tick.
manual_home_test.py reads the stream dump (GFSINK_DUMP) and the attribute
log (GFSINK_ATTR_LOG), so it can say that nothing was shipped and which
current was written, and how many times. 9 cases: a manual $H ships no step
and no FIRE tick and declares the offsets with the soft limits on and Z
kept; $H refused in a cycle; $MD refused under an open armed window with
nothing written; every motion source and $X refused while released; each
energize written exactly once; the port's panel operations; both pairs of
home offsets, alone and at once; and a controller killed under a release,
whose replacement writes only 0 and 0.
Both pass against the driver's extensions tree. The poll cases fail against
the driver without its empty-line rule ("8 of 8 port jogs were refused under
a status poll"), which is the defect they were written from: it was found
on the bench reference with LightBurn connected, and the sender these
harnesses had until then polled a bare '?'.
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.
