The comment over SHARED_JUDGES in catalog.py said that every test runs through all four judges without importing them, puls.py among them, and the comment of test_a_shared_judge_edit_moves_every_test said the same. No test runs puls.py but the three that print the dark job (cloud.lid-interlock-abort, cloud.oversize-stream and exthost.armed-freeze, through offline_job), and suite/cloud.py imports it with `from .. import puls`: it is a judge because the sibling walk does not follow that import, as the Acceptance page of the site says. Both comments now say that every test runs through runner.py, hw.py and baseline.py with no import to follow, and that puls.py comes in by a package import the walk does not follow. Comments only: SHARED_JUDGES does not change. Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s tests -v` in forgetest): test_manifest.py runs 39 tests, OK, on Windows with python 3.14 and on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12. The only import of puls in the package is suite/cloud.py's (grep). pyflakes reports no undefined name. Acceptance: none. catalog.py is the registry and in no fingerprint, and tests/ are in none (source_sha of 43 of 43 unchanged).
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.
