## 4. CLI `instance set-bindings` cannot set `DataSourceReferenceOverride`
-**Severity:** Medium · **Components:** CLI (#19)
+**Severity:** Medium · **Components:** CLI (#19) · **✅ RESOLVED 2026-06-24 (branch `fix/followups-4-5-6-8`)**
+
+**Fix:** `--bindings` now accepts an optional **third element** per entry —
+`[attributeName, dataConnectionId, dataSourceReferenceOverride]` — so the CLI can set the
+per-instance reference override that the wire contract (`ConnectionBinding`) already
+carried. A string sets it; a JSON `null` or an omitted third element leaves it unset
+(template default). `TryParseBindings` accepts 2- or 3-element entries and rejects a
+non-string/non-null third element or 4+ elements with a clean validation error. The
+`--bindings` help and CLI README now document the full-replace behaviour (omitting the
+override on a re-bind clears any previously-set one). Covered by
+`InstanceArgumentParsingTests` (three-element / explicit-null / wrong-type / four-element).
**Symptom:** `instance set-bindings --bindings` only accepts `[attributeName, dataConnectionId]` pairs (`InstanceCommands.cs` → `ConnectionBinding(name, connId)` 2-arg). The override is sent as `null`, and because `SetConnectionBindingsAsync` upserts `DataSourceReferenceOverride = b.DataSourceReferenceOverride` (`InstanceService.cs:340`), using the CLI on an attribute that already has an override would **wipe** it.

+
+**Fix:** `TemplateService.UpdateTemplateAsync` now uses **leave-unchanged** semantics for
+optional fields (fixed server-side, so every client benefits): a `null` description keeps
+the stored value (pass `""` to explicitly clear it), and a `null` `parentTemplateId` keeps
+the existing parent. The parent remains immutable — a non-null value that differs from the
+current parent is still rejected — but omitting it (the CLI default) is now a no-op instead
+of tripping the immutability guard, which previously made `template update` fail on any
+derived template unless `--parent-id` was re-passed. CLI `--description`/`--parent-id` help,
+the `UpdateTemplateCommand` doc, and the CLI README document the semantics. Tests:
+`UpdateTemplate_OmittedParentAndDescription_LeavesUnchanged`,
+`UpdateTemplate_EmptyDescription_ClearsIt` (the prior `UpdateTemplate_ClearParent_Fails`
+was repurposed, since a null parent now means leave-unchanged rather than clear-and-fail).
**Symptom:** omitting `--description` on `template update` overwrites the stored description to NULL (`TemplateService.cs:124-125` assigns Name+Description unconditionally). Renaming a template silently drops its description unless you re-pass it.

## 8. Deploy-time unbound-binding validation returns one giant semicolon-joined error string

+**Severity:** Low · **Components:** Template Engine (#1), Deployment Manager (#2) · **✅ RESOLVED 2026-06-24 (branch `fix/followups-4-5-6-8`)**
+
+**Fix:** new `ValidationResult.SummarizeErrors()` (Commons) returns a grouped, capped
+summary: a leading total count, one line per `ValidationCategory`, and within a category a
+per-**module** rollup (canonical name up to its last dot) with counts and a `… and N more
+module(s)` cap. `DeploymentService` now uses it for the `Pre-deployment validation failed:`
+message and logs the full per-entry list via `LogWarning` so nothing is lost. Entity-less
+findings (e.g. script-compile errors) fall back to a capped message list. Documented in
+`Component-DeploymentManager.md` → "Validation Error Reporting". Covered by
+`ValidationResultSummaryTests` (count header, module rollup, breadth cap, root grouping,
+message fallback, mixed categories).
**Symptom:** Deploying an instance whose data-sourced attributes aren't all bound fails with a single error that concatenates one clause per attribute: `Pre-deployment validation failed: Attribute 'LeftReactorSide.LeakTest.DeltaVac' has a data source reference but no connection binding; Attribute 'LeftReactorSide.LeakTest.ResultType' has …; …`. For 50–194 unbound attrs (e.g. Z28062's unbound LeakTest members) it's a wall of text that's hard to scan in a CLI/UI toast.

+### Validation Error Reporting
+
+When step 2 fails, the returned error is a **grouped, capped summary** rather than a flat
+semicolon-joined dump (followup #8). `ValidationResult.SummarizeErrors()` (Commons) leads
+with the total error count, then lists one line per `ValidationCategory`; within a
+category, entity-scoped findings (notably the unbound connection-binding case, which can
+produce 50–194 entries for a richly data-sourced instance) are rolled up by **module** —
+the attribute's canonical name up to its last dot — with per-module counts, and the breadth
+is capped with a `… and N more module(s)` suffix. The complete per-entry list remains on
+`ValidationResult.Errors` and is written to the deploy log (`LogWarning`) so operators can
+still see every clause when needed. This keeps the UI/CLI failure toast scannable while
+preserving full detail for diagnosis.
+
## Deployment Identity & Idempotency
- Every deployment is assigned a unique **deployment ID** and includes the flattened configuration's **revision hash** (from the Template Engine).

+The optional **third element** sets the per-instance data-source reference override
+(the OPC UA node id / protocol address used in place of the template's
+`DataSourceReference` for that attribute). Pass a string to set it, or `null` / omit
+it to use the template default:
+
+```sh

+scadabridge --url instance set-bindings --id 42 \
+ --bindings '[["Speed",7,"ns=2;s=Reactor.Speed"],["Mode",7]]'

+> override on every entry that needs one — omitting the third element clears any
