ScottW514 cfef6a1b84 forgetest: the camera-home tests hand the head back where they found it
homing.cloud-offsets, setup.check-envelope and cloud.mode-switch let the
service move the head, and ended with it where the service left it: at
the camera home, or, in cloud.mode-switch, under the camera, where the
service's re-hunt had taken it. Each told the baseline the counters had
been re-zeroed at the starting position, so the hand-back saw nothing to
do. No counter reading can say where the head was found: every service
motion zeroes the counters at its start, and the home and every
controller start zero them again.

suite/homeoff.py now holds the helpers for a test that lets the service
move the head:

- session_travel sums a client's own record of each motion's end ("end
  positions (x, y, z)", the counters the motion zeroed at its start, in
  x8 steps, the one mode a service motion runs at). A motion with no end
  on record, or a log rotated under the run, leaves the travel unknown.
- camera_home_return drops the camera home, jogs the head back by the
  session's travel plus what the counters read since the home, starts
  the controller once more so the counters read zero where the head
  began, and tells the baseline. cloud_mode_return does the same for a
  stay in cloud mode, from the cloud client's log.
- A travel that cannot be known fails the run and moves nothing. A
  hand-back that fails while the test is already failing is logged, and
  the test's own failure is the one reported.
- judge_whole_motions fails a homing motion that stopped short: the
  position declared after it is false.

cloud.mode-switch imports the helpers inside its function, so no other
cloud test's fingerprint moves. Its cloud stretch no longer goes through
return_head, which read 0/0 after the controller's start and left the
head under the camera.

Proof: tests/test_camera_home_return.py, 15 cases on the machine's own
log lines (a session stopped short, a whole three-motion one, a cut log,
a refused motion, homed and unhomed counters, a restart since the home,
the first failure winning). tests/test_cloud_suite.py's mode-switch fakes
now zero the counters and remove the anchor at a controller start, write
the anchor at the home, and move the counters on a jog: 10 cases, a
failed hand-back that must not hide the test's failure among them.
forgetest 498 OK. On the bench reference, with the driver and the runner
fixes: homing.cloud-offsets, setup.check-envelope and cloud.mode-switch
PASS, each ending with the head where it was found; cloud.mode-switch
jogged its cloud stretch 246.06/139.01 mm back with the counters across
the jog agreeing, and every baseline was clean.

Acceptance: the three tests are the change; their fingerprints move and
no other test's does.

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.
