ScottW514 f0ba4b9249 forgetest: motion.job and laser.recorder-dark
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 ....

Environment

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.
