Your test.mp looks OK to me: I've attached the result I get from the following:

    % mpost test.mp
    This is MetaPost, version 2.10 (TeX Live 2024) (kpathsea version 6.4.0)
    (/usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-dist/metapost/base/mpost.mp
    (/usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-dist/metapost/base/plain.mp
    Preloading the plain mem file, version 1.005) ) (./test.mp [1] )
    1 output file written: test.1
    Transcript written on test.log.
    % ps2pdf test.1

I notice, by the way, that your test.tex includes the file rest.1, not test.1 -- is that deliberate?

Best wishes,

Norman
