M1 Local Contract Smoke

The M1 local smoke is a fast contract check for the current HWLAB MVP skeleton. It runs only on the local machine, uses short-lived localhost processes, and does not deploy or call the frozen DEV endpoint.

Run it from the repository root:

node scripts/m1-contract-smoke.mjs

The equivalent npm entry point is:

npm run m1:smoke

What It Checks

• Starts hwlab-cloud-api on 127.0.0.1 with an ephemeral port and checks /health, /live, GET /v1, and POST /rpc.
• Verifies the cloud-api skeleton returns system.health, describes the REST and JSON-RPC adapter surface, and rejects hardware.operation.request as a known skeleton response instead of dispatching real hardware work.
• Starts hwlab-gateway-simu, hwlab-box-simu, and hwlab-patch-panel on ephemeral localhost ports.
• Checks simulator health and status payloads, confirms cross-device propagation is patch-panel-only, writes a local box port value, and routes a signal through the patch panel fixture.
• Parses fixtures/mvp/runtime.json through the CLI dry-run path and verifies the dry-run output names the MVP route, closed loops, evidence fixture, and the no-DEV/PROD-change disclaimer.

Boundary

This smoke is not the future DEV e2e acceptance test. It intentionally does not:

• deploy to DEV or PROD;
• call http://74.48.78.17:6667;
• run browser e2e;
• read secrets, tokens, kubeconfig, tunnel credentials, or deploy manifests;
• validate real gateway, router, frp, edge proxy, agent, worker, or hardware behavior;
• replace the L5 deploy manifest work.

The check is scoped to local M1 contract readiness: existing cloud-api, patch-panel, simulator, and CLI dry-run skeletons can be started or parsed and still agree on the frozen service IDs, DEV environment, JSON-RPC surface, and patch-panel-only topology assumptions.

Follow-On DEV e2e

A later real DEV e2e should run against the deployed DEV route, exercise the actual cloud-web/cloud-api, gateway/router/tunnel path, hardware trusted closed loop, agent automation closed loop, evidence persistence, and cleanup behavior. That later test should produce deployment/evidence artifacts and must remain separate from this local smoke harness.

L2 Runtime Smoke

The L2 simulator runtime has a separate local check:

npm run l2:smoke

It starts two hwlab-gateway-simu and two hwlab-box-simu processes on ephemeral localhost ports. It proves simulator identity, AI/AO/DI/DO/FREQ state operations, gateway register/heartbeat/capability/invoke forwarding, error codes, audit/evidence shapes, and the patch-panel-only propagation boundary. It does not call DEV or PROD.
