ScottW514 b2c42f0cc3 Do not fail a hand-back on the step the counters round to
The post-run pass compared the kernel position counters exactly, so a
test that put the head back within a hundredth of a millimeter failed
whenever that distance did not round to the same step.

motion.lid-cancel-home found it on the bench reference. The test cancels
a job with the lid twice and the controller returns the head to the job
start each time, landing 0.038 and 0.037 mm out - the same figures as the
run before it, which passed. This time the two returns left four steps on
X, 0.075 mm at 53.333 steps per mm, and the hand-back called it a
leftover. Twenty-three runs of that test, all passing, on returns of the
same accuracy: whether the residue rounds to zero is chance, not a
property of the machine or of the test.

A difference inside POSITION_DEADBAND_MM (0.1 mm, five steps at x8) on X
and Y is now the quantization rather than a leftover. The head is still
put back, so nothing accumulates over a campaign - only the failure goes.
Z stays exact: the return never moves the lens, so a Z difference is
still a leftover and still unrestorable.

Host-proven: four new unit tests on the boundary (four steps and a moved
Z on either side of it, and an unreadable reading), and the forgetest
suite.

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

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.
