forgectrl's job runner (POST /job, and the dose-curve recorder and the sheet wizards moved onto it) needs a test of a posted program, and nothing in the catalog ran the recorder's start: only its refusal and its status. motion.job posts programs the way a client does, as a multipart form. A program with a $ line and a job with no name are refused with 400, and a job beside the suite's own Grbl client with 409, each with nothing moved. A dark program (out 20 mm, a dwell, back) then plays: /status names job:forgetest as the lease holder of kind sender, GET /job reports it running, and a second job, a port jog, and a settings write are each refused in the job's name. At its end the record says done with every line and the runner's own M2 acknowledged, no discharge and no LASER_ON sample, the kernel's counters saw the 20 mm and are back where they began, and the lease is free. POST /job/abort stops a 40 mm move short, into the controller's alarm state, with the lease free. A job sent into the alarm fails at its first line with nothing moved; the same job with unlock=1 clears the alarm and returns the head. laser.recorder-dark starts the recorder and never presses. While the controller waits at its arm: the recorder holds the machine as a sender, GET /job shows its run (not a posted program's), the floor and the curve read 0 and off, POST /job/abort refuses to stop a run it did not start, a posted job is refused in the recorder's name, and two seconds of witnesses stay dark. POST /curve/stop ends it: stopped before the ladder fired, the lease free, both laser keys as they were. The ladder begins at the controller's X0 Y0, so the head is returned by a posted job. covers: setup.sheet and forgectrl.lease name src/jobrun.*, since the sheet wizards stream through the runner and the recorder's refusal comes from it; setup.sheet names src/lease.* for the hold its jobs take inside the wizard's. Proven on the bench reference, the job runner's daemon hot-deployed over image 20260920130136. motion.job: PASS; the kernel saw 20.000 mm out and 0.000 back, 6 lines with 7 sent and acknowledged, every witness zero, the abort at 9.83 mm of 40 into Alarm, the unlocking job with its $X and its M2 the two lines more. Its first run failed, and found a defect in the daemon and not in the test: the record said done with the head 0.19 mm short of its end, because the controller acknowledges M2 before the pulse engine has played the last of its ring. The runner now waits for the kernel to be idle, and the test passes unchanged. laser.recorder-dark: PASS; the controller reached its arm wait, 16 samples dark, the stop left the controller Idle and the head where it was. setup.sheet: PASS with the operator at the machine. forgectrl.lease: PASS. The unit suite passes (420) with no undefined name. Acceptance. These two tests are the gate for forgectrl's job runner, with setup.sheet for the sheet wizards' side of it.
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.
