Daniel Hilst 052d2d5fbe fix(xcat-core): Genesis base tests from master read the old directory and evaluate shell
Master added a workflow and several tests after this branch renamed
xCAT-genesis-builder to xCAT-genesis-base. They still name files under
xCAT-genesis-builder/, which no longer exists, so they fail or read
nothing. The OpenEmbedded workflow, six bats files and four unit tests
now use the new paths.

Two of those unit tests could reach the code only as shell.
genesis_ubuntu_build_root.t cut the package list out of
builddeb-genesis-base and evaluated it through bash.
genesis_payload_verification.t ran the bash verifier and parsed its
stderr.

XCAT::GenesisBuildRoot::required_packages() now returns the build-root
package list, and builddeb-genesis-base calls it. XCAT::GenesisPayload
holds the mandatory-command list and the payload check, and
verify-genesis-payload runs its main() with the same arguments, exit
codes and messages. stage_genesis_base_sources() stages the module
beside the script. Both modules use core Perl only.

The two tests now call these functions with chosen inputs and assert
the exact results. genesis_base_sources_staged.t expects the module in
the staged tarball.

Daniel Hilst 79b2e44498 style(xcat-core): the payload test comment describes the verifier that was replaced
The comment above the /usr/bin/awk case in genesis_payload_verification.t
said what the verifier used to do with an absolute path. The rule the
reader needs is what dracut_install does with one.

Daniel Hilst b91795a8f4 test(xcat-core): a failed extraction in thirteen test files stops the whole suite
Thirteen test files this branch adds call BAIL_OUT at fifty-one places:
an extraction that stopped matching, a fixture that is not there, a
harness that wrote no log. prove stops every remaining file on a
bail-out, not only the file that called it, so one of them hides the
results of every test that would have run after it. die is just as loud
and costs only its own file.

Fifteen comments the branch added also carried the incident rather than
the constraint. Three pasted an error transcript, five traced a failure
from a macro or a missing file out to a node that never boots, and the
rest counted call sites, package sizes or dracut build numbers. Each now
states the one fact the reader cannot re-derive from the code.

Daniel Hilst b3ed5e6d24 test(xcat-core): a Genesis image with no /usr/bin/awk passes verification
verify-genesis-payload reads the names the dracut module installs back out of
module-setup.sh and checks each one against the extracted payload. It drops
every name that starts with "/", so the 609 absolute paths the EL module names
are checked by nothing. An image built without /usr/bin/awk, /etc/services or
/lib64/libnss_dns.so.2 passes.

The Genesis debs carry the architecture in the package name. 2.19 renames the
ppc64 debs to ppc64el, and neither builddeb-genesis-base nor
debuild-xcat-genesis-base names the deb the new package supersedes. dpkg keeps
xcat-genesis-base-ppc64 installed beside xcat-genesis-base-ppc64el, and the old
package owns the same files under /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis.

genesis_payload_verification.t drives the verifier against a payload missing
/usr/bin/awk and one missing /etc/services. genesis_base_deb_arch.t asserts the
Replaces and Breaks the alien path writes. genesis_base_deb_control_rewrite.t
lifts rewrite_control() out of builddeb-genesis-base and runs it over the
control file in the tree.

Daniel Hilst 084d776d26 test(xcat-core): capture the el10 Genesis image shipping no openssl
The legacy Genesis image built on el10 carries no openssl command. getcert waits for one
with no bound, so the node reports no destiny and never boots. Nothing in the build or in
the suite sees the hole.

genesis_base_spec_buildrequires.t reads the spec and requires an unconditional
BuildRequires on openssl, and requires that no %{_target_cpu} is read after
BuildArch: noarch, where rpm has already set it to noarch.

genesis_payload_verification.t drives verify-genesis-payload with a dracut module and a
payload, and requires every command the module installs at the top level of install() to be
present. A name installed under a condition is not required, and a module the verifier
reads no names from is a usage error.

genesis_getcert_missing_openssl.t runs getcert with a PATH that holds stubs and no openssl,
under a harness timeout. Ten assertions fail on this commit: getcert never stops, and the
verifier and the spec do not know about openssl.

Daniel Hilst 4dd16eb5f1 test(xcat-core): capture the genesis harness passing on a failed nodeset
The nodeset_shell_incorrectmasterip case ran "nodeset testnode shell", the command failed
with "/tftpboot/boot/grub2/grub2.x86_64 does not exits", and the case still passed.
check_destiny in xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/genesis/test.sh discards the return value of
runcmd and greps the boot configuration file, which grub2.pm writes before it stops on the
missing boot loader. The sub-case asserts nothing.

wait_for_boot in xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/genesis/genesistest.pl waits for
nodelist.status "booted". A Genesis node reports its destiny with getdestiny and xcatd
writes "shell", "configuring" or "booting" from it, never "booted". Every caller discards
the return value, so each case rests on its xdsh probes alone.

genesis_incorrectmasterip_check.t now runs the check with a nodeset that fails, and reads
whether the grub2 boot loader for the node arch is present when nodeset runs.
genesis_testcase_helpers.t drives the status wait with lsdef shadowed, and drives the shell
case with every command it runs shadowed. genesis_payload_verification.t reads a payload
without mktemp, which getdestiny needs to make its request file.

Daniel Hilst ff20388fed fix(xcat-core): the legacy Genesis image never reaches doxcat, so no node boots a shell
A compute node fetches the legacy Genesis kernel and initramfs, the kernel starts, and then
nothing else happens: doxcat never runs, the node acquires no address, sshd refuses every
connection and the node stays at status=powering-on. The five genesis test cases in
xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/genesis have never passed. VersatusHPC/xcat-internal#78.

Three holes in the image, each fatal on its own. dracut_105/el/xcat-cmdline.sh ends in
`while :; do tmux attach-session -t doxcat || tmux new-session -s doxcat doxcat; done`, and the
image carries no locale data, so tmux exits with "need UTF-8 locale" and the loop spins
without ever reaching doxcat. module-setup.sh does not install
/usr/libexec/openssh/sshd-session, which OpenSSH 9.8 and later exec for every connection and
which EL9 now ships. xCAT-genesis-base.spec does not BuildRequire dhcp-client, so dhclient is
absent from the build chroot; dracut_install reports the missing binary and returns, and the
module install function keeps going, so the image ships without it.

xcat-cmdline.sh now resolves xcat_console_mode() once and runs doxcat directly when the
terminal multiplexer cannot start a session; the same shape replaces the screen loop on
Ubuntu. module-setup.sh installs the OpenSSH session helpers and the C.utf8 locale where they
exist. The spec BuildRequires dhcp-client on the releases that package it, and runs the new
xCAT-genesis-builder/verify-genesis-payload over the extracted payload, which fails the build
when sshd needs a helper the image lacks, when tmux has no UTF-8 locale, or when a binary the
caller named is missing.

The same runs exposed four defects in the test cases themselves. test.sh defined its synthetic
node as ppc64le whatever the management node was, so nodeset could not find a genesis kernel on
x86_64. genesistest.pl get_os() matched neither AlmaLinux nor Rocky and reported the OS as
unsupported. The -g check read $? instead of check_genesis_file()'s return value, so it could
never fail. And testxdsh() met "REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED" from the second boot
on, because Genesis makes new host keys every boot and nothing dropped the stale known_hosts
entry. test.sh now derives the node arch from uname and takes the tftp root from TFTPDIR,
get_os() recognises the redhat family, report_genesis_files() carries the result to an exit
status, and forget_host_keys() runs makeknownhosts -r before each probe.

Tests: genesis_console_mode.t drives xcat_console_mode() with the multiplexer shadowed;
genesis_payload_verification.t drives the verifier over payload trees carrying each hole;
genesis_testcase_helpers.t drives get_os(), check_genesis_file(), report_genesis_files() and
testxdsh(); genesis_incorrectmasterip_check.t runs test.sh against a scratch tftp root. Each
fails on the parent commit. The verifier also reports all three holes against the released
xCAT-genesis-base-x86_64-2.19.0-snap202609021858 payload.
