The acceptance page is assembled by page.py from forgetest/forgetest/ui/ (index.html, page.css, help.js, app.js) plus theme.css and the vendored Bootstrap files, which are byte for byte the ones forgectrl's panel carries, so the two pages look like one product and share the light and dark themes (same localStorage key). A plain file is read in a checkout; on the dev image the recipe installs ui/ gzipped and page.py reads the .gz sibling, inflating once at first request: the rootfs is raw ext4, so bytes in the package are bytes on the image. The explanatory prose (campaign rules, the queues, the campaign actions, the prerequisites switch, the bench intro) is a "?" popover with a link into the documentation site; operator steps, prompts, notices and the live-laser acknowledgment stay in the page, and confirmLive() stays a blocking dialog. The page's own rules hold: rows, prompt buttons and tool entries are built once and updated in place, and the popovers sit on static markup only, so no rebuild orphans one. On a phone the Run pane goes to the top for the duration of a run. scripts/check-ui-vendor.py compares the shared files against forgectrl at its pinned revision (or a local checkout with --forgectrl); it runs in forgetest-ci.yml, so the copies cannot drift. Tests: test_page.py (the gzipped install assembles to the same bytes as a checkout, one self-contained response, the token placeholder once, a missing marker refused); test_server asserts the served page's invariants; test_responsiveness keeps its rules with needles pointed at the new files, its ASCII rule applied to our own sources (Bootstrap's CSS carries an em dash of its own), and its self-contained rule testing asset tags rather than the presence of https:// (the documentation links are meant to be there). forgectrl.panel-serves gains two needles for the panel's theme attribute and save bar. Proof: the unit suite, and the page in Chrome against a fake catalog (both themes, popovers, the bench tab, a full operator run with its prompt, abort). forgectrl pinned at 9d1f6f2 (the panel on Bootstrap, one save bar, help popovers, themes, the gzipped page); PV unchanged. The pin moves only forgectrl's fingerprint. The forgetest changes are the harness's own and have no catalog consequence.
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
docs/ACCEPTANCE.md.
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>:8080 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.
