Second slice of the 2026-09-09 whole-system review remediation
(docs/plans/2026-09-09-arch-review.md §10), on top of the High slice 146a1323.
Runtime/devices: SR-2 alarm on-trigger integration scope; SR-3 correlated NativeAlarmActor
subscribe retry; SR-4 immutable audited DB target; SR-5 ordered InstanceActor stop/flush;
SR-12 rehydration fence; SR-13 S&F gate recheck per delivery; DC-4 no OPC UA security
downgrade; DC-5 alarm snapshot for every new subscriber; ORCH-1 sync-dispose joins the pump.
Management/UI: MG-2 site scope on audit tree + Flow Debugger Replay; MG-3 stale-probe memo

authenticated relay provenance; EI-10 body cap before audit read.
Persistence/contracts: DL-1 global Instance.UniqueName unique index + conflict translation;
DL-2 DataConnection protocol config encrypted at rest (migration
20260909203046_EnforceGlobalInstanceNamesAndProtectProtocolConfiguration — coordinated
central upgrade, old binaries cannot read protected rows); DL-3 bounded Replay paging;
DL-6 cross-site Overwrite of a deployed instance rejected; XC-4 proto descriptor contract test.
Config/hygiene: XC-1 central listener isolation by local port; XC-2/XC-3 inert SMTP + cron
keys removed from rig settings; CM-2 env2 bootstrap guard enabled; DC-6 deploy site exit code;
DC-7 notifier retries only explicit standby rejection; XC-5 ClusterClient purged from docs.
Gates recorded in the report: build 0/0, 9 397 passed / 0 failed, rig redeployed on all
eight nodes with the migration applied. 46 Low findings remain open.
The command passed no `tableProjector`, so `--format table` handed the renderer
an `AuditLogQueryResult` OBJECT. That takes the generic Property/Value branch,
which printed the entire `entries` array as raw JSON inside a single cell. JSON
output was and remains correct, and is the primary format for this command.
Adds `AuditConfigTableProjection`, mirroring `TemplateTableProjection`:
string->string over the raw body, applied only on the table path, returning the
input verbatim when it is not JSON or not a recognised shape so the renderer's
own fallbacks still apply. It unwraps the envelope to a row array — id,
timestamp, user, action, entityType, entityName, entityId — and drops
`afterStateJson`, the full post-change entity snapshot, which is the audit
analogue of template's fat child arrays: one per row fills a terminal.
`bundleImportId` is dropped as mostly-null noise.
`totalCount` would be lost by a plain unwrap, so a truncated page gains a single
trailing row with a `note` cell ("showing 50 of 137 — use --page / --page-size
for the rest"). When the page IS the whole result set the column is not emitted
at all, so a small query's table stays exactly as narrow as its data, and the
note row carries no `id` so it cannot be mistaken for an entry.
A `--detail` flag skips the projection and renders the raw payload, matching
`template list` / `template get` — that plus `--format json` is how to reach
`afterStateJson`. A bare array root is also accepted, so the projection does not
regress if the payload is ever unwrapped upstream or the deprecated `audit-log`
alias meets an older server.
Tests build their fixtures by serialising the REAL AuditLogQueryResult /
AuditLogEntry types, so renaming a server property fails the test instead of
silently blanking a column. CLI README + Component-CLI.md document the table
shape, the omitted fields, and --detail.
An external system's MaxRetries/RetryDelay existed on the central entity but never
reached a site and had no management surface, so every ExternalSystem.CachedCall
buffered with the S&F engine default (DefaultMaxRetries 50 x DefaultRetryInterval
30s ~= 25 min to park) whatever central had configured. The sibling
DatabaseConnectionArtifact had always carried its equivalents.
The consumption end was already wired: ExternalSystemClient.CachedCallAsync already
read system.MaxRetries/RetryDelay and passed them to EnqueueAsync with the 0-as-unset
convention. Only the transport and persistence were missing.
Commons
- ExternalSystemArtifact gains MaxRetries/RetryDelay as optional positional params
(0 / TimeSpan.Zero = unset), matching DatabaseConnectionArtifact rather than going
nullable, so it maps 1:1 onto the entity and the proto3 scalars.
- Create/UpdateExternalSystemCommand gain nullable MaxRetries/RetryDelay, following
the existing TimeoutSeconds "omit to preserve" convention. Both additive.
Central
- ManagementActor create maps both; update preserves-if-null.
- ArtifactDeploymentService projects them onto the artifact.
Wire
- site_command.proto ExternalSystemArtifactDto gains max_retries=7 /
retry_delay=8 (google.protobuf.Duration), mirroring DatabaseConnectionArtifactDto.
Additive: a pre-existing site decodes them as 0/absent, which IS the unset value,
so old behaviour is preserved. Vendored C# regenerated via docker/regen-proto.sh
sitecommand; csproj Protobuf item re-commented, no message types added or removed.
Site
- external_systems gains max_retries / retry_delay_ms via AddColumnIfMissing,
DEFAULT 0 = unset. Storage upsert, repository SELECT/mapping (new ordinals 6/7
appended so existing ones are untouched), apply path, and the legacy migrator's
explicit column list all carry them.
Replicated-table decision: external_systems IS in SiteLocalDbSetup.ReplicatedTables,
so this was checked against the AckTime/native_alarm_state precedent. Real columns
are correct here, not a JSON bag: the table has no general-purpose config column
(auth_configuration and method_definitions are both semantically specific),
timeout_seconds already set the additive-column precedent on this exact table, and
sibling database_connections stores the same two values as plain columns. Verified in
LocalDb source that RegisterReplicated re-reads PRAGMA table_info every boot and its
install script is DROP-then-CREATE, so capture triggers rebuild over the new column
set automatically, and SiteStorageSchema.Apply runs before registration on the same
boot. The only cost is the ReplicatedTable.ComputeDigest change, which the sync
handshake compares fail-closed - a mixed-version pair refuses to sync loudly instead
of diverging silently. Both-nodes-together is already the standing site-pair rule, so
no new operational constraint; recorded in topology-guide.md.
Also fixed: ArtifactDiff.CompareExternalSystem never compared MaxRetries/RetryDelay,
so a bundle import that changed a system's retry budget previewed as "Identical" -
harmless while the values were inert, a live behaviour change now.
No EF migration: the central ExternalSystemDefinitions columns already exist
(InitialSchema). Central UI already had both form fields.
Tests: site storage round-trip + unset-default, site apply path, central artifact
projection, proto round-trip (via the shared sample), management create/preserve,
CLI option parse + alias, and diff reporting. Fail-before verified on the two core
tests (expected 7 got 0 on the read path; expected 9 got 0 on the apply path).
Docs: Component-ExternalSystemGateway, Component-StoreAndForward, Component-CLI,
components/StoreAndForward, components/SiteRuntime, deployment/topology-guide,
CLI README (which was also missing --timeout-seconds entirely).
Deferred-work register row 46. HandleQueryAuditLog returned ICentralUiRepository's
(IReadOnlyList<AuditLogEntry> Entries, int TotalCount) ValueTuple straight to
ManagementActor.SerializeResult. System.Text.Json writes properties only, and a
ValueTuple exposes Item1/Item2 as public FIELDS, so the whole payload serialized to
the literal "{}" — the CLI faithfully printed an empty object no matter how many
AuditLogEntries rows matched, with no error anywhere in the stack.
Fixed at the handler (the layer that leaks the tuple), not the CLI: new Commons record
AuditLogQueryResult(Entries, TotalCount), mirroring the SecuredWriteListResult shape
already used by the other paged management query.
Also guards the whole class of bug: SerializeResult now throws on any ITuple result,
so the next handler that returns a tuple fails loudly instead of silently emitting {}.
Tests (fail-before verified — the query test asserted exactly "{}"):
- QueryAuditLogCommand_ReturnsEntriesAndTotalCount
- SerializeResult_TupleResult_ThrowsInsteadOfEmittingEmptyObject
- SerializeResult_AuditLogQueryResult_EmitsEntriesAndTotalCount
Docs: Component-CLI.md + CLI README document the response shape and why it is a record.
Adds `cached-call retry` and `cached-call discard` subcommands that relay
to the existing Deployer-gated RetryParkedMessageCommand /
DiscardParkedMessageCommand via the central SiteCallAuditActor → site relay.
ManagementCommandRegistry already covered both types via reflection auto-discovery.
CommandTreeTests updated to include cached-call (group count 16 → 17).
Renames the 13 SCADALINK_* runtime env vars → SCADABRIDGE_*, the ScadaLink__
.NET config keys → ScadaBridge__, the stale ScadaLink.Host.exe assembly name
→ ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Host.exe, the scadalink_app SQL login → scadabridge_app,
and residual identifiers/comments/docs. Migration records (prior rename
tooling/design, DB-rename helper, this scrub script) carved out.
Adds tools/scrub-scadalink-refs.sh.
Final cross-bundle reviewer identified 7 inconsistencies that the per-bundle
reviewers couldn't see; all fixed in one logical commit.
Critical:
- HighLevelReqs AL-3: drop 'then upsert-on-newer-status' — AuditLog is
strictly append-only (correct for SiteCalls/Notifications, wrong for
the immutable AuditLog shadow).
- Component-AuditLog Error rate KPI: align with HealthMonitoring's
exclusion list (Success/Delivered/Enqueued) rather than just non-Success;
otherwise every Delivered notification or Enqueued cached call would be
counted as an error.
Important:
- Component-AuditLog line 154: ISiteAuditWriter -> IAuditWriter (canonical
name per Commons and the rest of this doc).
- Component-AuditLog Central direct-write paragraph: convert remaining
slash notation (ApiInbound/Completed, Notification/Attempt,
Notification/Terminal) to dot notation used everywhere else.
- Component-ClusterInfrastructure: scope SiteCallAuditActor to
reconciliation + KPIs + Retry/Discard relay; cached-telemetry ingest is
AuditLogIngestActor's role per Combined Telemetry contract.
- Component-CentralUI Audit Log page: state the OperationalAudit read
permission and the read-vs-export split (matching CLI doc).
- Component-NotificationOutbox: add never-fail-the-action invariant for
dispatcher audit writes.
Minor:
- Component-InboundAPI: 'Non-blocking semantics' was ambiguous (could be
read as async); reword to 'Fail-soft' — the write is still synchronous
before flush, but failures are caught and don't change the response.
- Component-CLI: realign audit-query/audit-export flags to actually match
the Central UI Audit Log filter set (channel, kind, status, site,
instance, target, actor, correlation-id, errors-only); drop --user and
--entity-id which are IAuditService concepts, not Audit Log columns.
- Component-AuditLog KPI tile names: 'Volume/Error rate/Backlog' ->
'Audit volume/Audit error rate/Audit backlog' (matches Central UI and
Health Monitoring); drop the two orphan KPIs (Top inbound callers, Top
outbound 5xx) that were never surfaced anywhere.
- Component-AuditLog Interactions: re-attribute DbOutbound emissions to
ESG (where Database.* lives) with a note that Site Runtime is the API
surface for scripts.
- HighLevelReqs AL-12: drop 'and reconciliation operations' (CLI has no
reconcile command; reconciliation is an internal self-healing pull).
Add note that verify-chain becomes operational once AL-11's hash chain
ships.
Bundle D code-review feedback on 0ae1a25 and e6f7a7f:
- Audit error rate (HealthMonitoring tile) was described as a combined
view of CentralAuditWriteFailures + AuditRedactionFailure (writer
health). Per alog.md §10.3 / §14.1 it is the operational error rate
of audited operations: % of central AuditLog rows with Status not
in (Success/Delivered/Enqueued) over a rolling 5-min window. Audit
writer issues surface separately via the dedicated metrics.
- Audit volume description gains the spec-mandated 'events/min, global
+ per-site sparkline' shape.
- CLI: scadalink audit was claiming all three subcommands need both
OperationalAudit and AuditExport. Per alog.md §11.2 / §15.1, read
(query, verify-chain) needs OperationalAudit; bulk export
additionally requires AuditExport. Restored the spec's split.
Switch site host to WebApplicationBuilder with Kestrel HTTP/2 gRPC server,
add GrpcPort/keepalive config, wire SiteStreamManager as ISiteStreamSubscriber,
expose gRPC ports in docker-compose, add site seed script, update all 10
requirement docs + CLAUDE.md + README.md for the new dual-transport architecture.
The debug view polled every 2s by re-subscribing for full snapshots. Now a
persistent DebugStreamBridgeActor on central subscribes once and receives
incremental Akka stream events from the site, forwarding them to the Blazor
component via callbacks and to the CLI via a new SignalR hub at
/hubs/debug-stream. Adds `debug stream` CLI command with auto-reconnect.
Organize documentation by moving requirements (HighLevelReqs, Component-*,
lmxproxy_protocol) to docs/requirements/ and test infrastructure docs to
docs/test_infra/. Updates all cross-references in README, CLAUDE.md,
infra/README, component docs, and 23 plan files.
