ScottW514 b94c990bbc Leave the lens to the cloud client in cloud mode
cloud.verdict-hold printed to completion and then failed its hand-back on
head/z_mode=0. That job's header carried ZSmd 0, gfhardware's
set_mode_from_puls turns that into z_mode 0, and z_mode 0 is full step
(lenshome.c): the cloud client had set the lens the way the pulse file it
was playing asked. Nothing was left behind - the machine did what the job
said.

The baseline already skips nine attributes in cloud mode, for the reason
written above the list: the cloud client sets its own values for them
from every pulse header, and forcing the GRBL values under it would be
the baseline configuring another controller's machine. head/z_current and
head/z_mode are the same thing and were not on the list. They are now, in
cloud mode only; in GRBL mode the pair is still checked against 1 and 1,
which is the half of this an exemption could quietly break, so a test
holds it.

Host-proven: 89 baseline unit tests.

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.
