ScottW514 b29bb9e023 bench: the controller port and manual home harnesses
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 ....

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.
