ScottW514 eb0a1e7838 exthost.panel-install: the key goes in through the panel, and the box holds the button
The test added the owner's key by copying the file. It now adds it the way
an operator does: POST /ext/key with the machine's button held. Without the
button it is 409 and no file lands; a name with a space, a name that is a
path, and no key at all are 400; a key that is no key is 409 from the host;
with the button held it is added and listed with its id. Removed again, the
same archive reads unverified, and removing a key that is not there is 409.

The bench actuator's press was 200 ms, the firmware's default, and a
request that must reach the machine while the button is down often missed
it: the unverified install took three presses on one run and all ten on
another. ctx.act() now takes `ms`, the fixture client passes it to the box
(the firmware clamps it into 20 to 500), and the two button-held steps ask
for 500. Both landed on the first or second press afterward.

Proven. The unit suite: 451 tests, 0 undefined names (both stub fixtures
take the new argument, and the fixture test pins that the box is asked for
the longest press). On the bench reference, image 20260921161446 with the
cross-built forgectrl and extension host mounted over the image's:
exthost.panel-install PASS, exthost.package-routes PASS,
exthost.hold-pause-tier PASS. Against the image's own daemons the install
test FAILS, as it should.

Acceptance. exthost.panel-install covers forgectrl's src/extpkg.*,
src/main.c, src/auth.* and forgeext's src/main.c, src/install.*,
src/pkg.*; the runner and the fixture client are harness, outside the
suite and outside every fingerprint.

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.
