### OPC UA
- Uses the **OPC Foundation .NET Standard Library** (`OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.Client`).
- Session-based connection with endpoint discovery, certificate handling, and configurable security modes.
- Session-based connection with endpoint discovery, certificate handling, and configurable security modes. Endpoint discovery is **asynchronous** and bounded by the connection's `OperationTimeoutMs` (the discovery client is built from the connection's own `EndpointConfiguration`) and by the caller's cancellation; a cancelled discovery is never mistaken for "discovery unavailable". The `DataConnectionActor` starts every adapter `ConnectAsync` on the thread pool, so no adapter connect work — whatever runs before its first yielding await — can occupy the actor's dispatcher thread (review 2026-10-21; previously a synchronous discovery against a black-holed endpoint held the thread for the SDK's 120 s default on every reconnect tick).
- Subscriptions via OPC UA Monitored Items with data change notifications (1000ms sampling, queue size 10, discard-oldest).
- Read/Write via OPC UA Read/Write services with StatusCode-based quality mapping.
- Disconnect detection via `Session.KeepAlive` event (see Disconnect Detection Pattern below).

Before saving or deploying an OPC UA data connection, the Central UI can ask the target site to **probe** the configured endpoint — this exercises connectivity (and TLS trust) against the live config, including edited-but-unsaved values.
- `DataConnectionManagerActor` handles `VerifyEndpointCommand` (`SiteId`, protocol, config JSON). The site spins up a **temporary** `RealOpcUaClient` from the submitted config, attempts discovery + a session with a short timeout (a few seconds), then disconnects and disposes the client. The reply is a `VerifyEndpointResult` (`Success`, a typed `FailureKind`, an error message, and an optional captured server cert).
- `DataConnectionManagerActor` handles `VerifyEndpointCommand` (`SiteId`, protocol, config JSON). The site spins up a **temporary** `RealOpcUaClient` from the submitted config, attempts discovery + a session with a short timeout (a few seconds — the budget bounds discovery too, not only the session create), then disconnects and disposes the client. The reply is a `VerifyEndpointResult` (`Success`, a typed `FailureKind`, an error message, and an optional captured server cert).
- The probe forces **`AutoAcceptUntrustedCerts = false`** and hooks the certificate-validation callback so it can **capture** an untrusted server certificate (Subject / Issuer / Thumbprint / NotBefore / NotAfter / DER) for the UI to display. Critically, the probe **never trusts** the cert — the validation callback always rejects (`Accept = false`); trusting is a separate, explicit, Admin-gated action that writes the cert into the site PKI store (see the cert-trust path in Component-SiteRuntime.md). The probe is read-only with respect to the trust boundary.
