ScottW514 9ea9c5d10f forgefirm-image: the pack-licenses test says what tar does with a member it cannot read
The docstring of the case that holds the refusal said that the
manifest check alone passes a bundle truncated after the unreadable
member, and a comment on the member's directory said that it sorts
after license.manifest. Neither is the mechanism. tar reports an error
that it cannot open the member, skips it, writes every other member
and the end of the archive, and exits nonzero only at its end, a
status the former pipeline lost. Where the member sorts does not
matter. The docstring now says that tar skips the member and the
manifest check alone passes the bundle without it, and the comment is
gone.

Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest), on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12 as an
unprivileged user: test_image.py's PackLicensesTests, 5 tests OK. With
the pack script as it was before 03146a1, the case fails with the
member under zlib/ and with it under aaa/ (exit status 0 both times);
with the script as it is, both placements pass. At the shell, on a
fixture tree with the unreadable member under aaa/ and then under
zlib/, the script as it was exits 0 both times after "Cannot open:
Permission denied", writes a bundle that holds every other member
(zzz/generic_Last, which sorts last, included), and removes the tree.
Text only, so no negative control applies to the change itself.
pyflakes reports no undefined name.

Acceptance: none. tests/ are in no 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.
