ScottW514 d58ee39086 Hand lid_policy back unset where the machine had it unset
motion.lid-policy-hold read the setting as

    was = (fc.settings() or {}).get("lid_policy") or "cancel"

and wrote `was` back at the end. On a machine that has never set the
policy the setting reads as the empty string and behaves as cancel, so
the `or` turned "unset" into the word and the test handed the machine
back carrying a setting it did not arrive with. The hand-back reported
it, restored it, and failed the test.

The value is now captured exactly, empty included, and restored as
captured; the default belongs to reading the value, never to writing it
back. The read-back check gets the same default, so it no longer compares
None with the empty string. lid_policy_in_force carries the effective
policy into the evidence, which is what the old expression was reaching
for.

Found on the bench reference, on the run after the position dead band let
motion.lid-cancel-home through. The four other places in the suite that
read a setting with `or` are safe: two default to the empty string, which
is what unset is, and two feed a check rather than a restore. The shared
Restore helper captures raw values and writes the empty string back for
unset, as this now does.

Only this test's earlier passes are invalidated: the change is inside its
own body, and the per-test source hash of the other eleven motion tests
is unchanged (checked against the file before the edit).

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.
