MES alarm-status API §6.4 (docs/plans/2026-06-30-mes-alarm-status-api.md,
Phase 1 task 1). MES needs a real AckDT for a triggered alarm, and the mirror
carried acked-vs-unacked but never WHEN. AckTime now rides the whole path:
DCL transition -> AlarmStateChanged -> gRPC AlarmStateUpdate -> site SQLite.
Stamping rule, identical on both protocols: non-null ONLY while the condition
is active AND acknowledged. That single predicate yields all three required
behaviours -- null while unacked, cleared on re-raise (a re-raise arrives
unacknowledged), and no phantom ack on a return-to-normal. The last one is
load-bearing for MxGateway, which maps INACTIVE to Acknowledged = true; without
the active check every clear would claim an ack the system never observed.
Provenance is honest, never fabricated:
- OPC UA A&C supplies a TRUE ack instant, so we now select it:
AcknowledgeableConditionType/AckedState/TransitionTime at SelectClause
index 18, APPENDED so the positional reads at 0-17 keep their meaning.
Servers that omit the field fall back to the event's own Time.
- MxAccess Gateway supplies none, so the ack transition's own timestamp is
used -- accurate to when the system SAW the ack. An ACTIVE_ACKED
re-subscribe snapshot restores one from LastTransitionTimestamp rather
than dropping it.
The decision lives in pure mappers (Opc/Mx AlarmMapper.DeriveAckTime), so it is
unit-tested with no live server or gateway.
Additive-only throughout: init-only property on AlarmStateChanged, trailing
optional positional on NativeAlarmTransition (all 14-arg call sites untouched),
proto field 24 (never reusing a number) regenerated via docker/regen-proto.sh
sitestream with the csproj diff verified empty.
Persistence rides native_alarm_state's existing metadata_json blob rather than
a new column -- deliberately. That table is RegisterReplicated in
SiteLocalDbSetup and LocalDb builds its CDC triggers from the column list at
registration time, so an additive JSON property changes no schema, no triggers
and no replication contract; metadata_json is exactly the extension point UA4
introduced for this. Rows written before the field deserialize it as null.
Tests: 4 OPC UA + 6 MxGateway mapper cases, 3 NativeAlarmActor (emit,
failover rehydrate, pre-AckTime row), 1 proto round-trip incl. the null case,
4 Commons additive/back-compat. The OPC UA SelectClause count lock-in moves
18 -> 19 with an index-18 assertion -- intended, the clause is appended, which
is precisely what that guard exists to make visible.
Phase 4 of the ClusterClient -> gRPC migration deleted the Akka transports
but left the naming behind: `ClusterClientSiteAuditClient` was transport-
agnostic and worked unchanged, so it survived the deletion under a name
that now describes a transport the repo no longer has. Same for a scatter
of doc-comments still framing gRPC as "the new transport" beside an Akka
one that is gone.
Renames it to `SiteCommunicationAuditClient` (and its test file) and
rewrites the stale comments to describe the single transport that exists.
Also tightens CLAUDE.md: drops the self-describing directory listing and
the 27-component enumeration in favour of the non-obvious parts only.
Behaviour-neutral: names and prose only. Recorded as the Phase 4
follow-up in docs/plans/2026-07-22-clusterclient-to-grpc-plan.md.
'Pattern 4: Integration Routing' — RouteIntegrationCallAsync →
SiteEnvelope(IntegrationCallRequest) → SiteCommunicationActor integration
handler — was plumbed end to end but connected at neither end: no
producer (zero callers) and no handler (AkkaHostedService never
registered LocalHandlerType.Integration). It was an early scaffold the
architecture routed around — the brokered External→Central→Site→Central
round-trip is served by the Inbound API's routed-site-script path (the
RouteTo* verbs, driven from CommunicationServiceInstanceRouter), which is
live, tested, and shares IntegrationTimeout.
Decision (#32): delete. Removed the IntegrationCall{Request,Response}
messages, RouteIntegrationCallAsync, the SiteCommunicationActor receive
block + _integrationHandler field + LocalHandlerType.Integration, and the
four tests that covered them (2 actor, 2 message-contract, 1 dispatcher-
reject, 1 mapper-reject). KEPT IntegrationTimeout — it is the live
timeout for the RouteTo* verbs. Updated the exclusion-narrative comments
(proto/mapper/dispatcher), design §4, the components doc timeout table,
and marked the known-issue RESOLVED.
Full solution build clean (0/0); Communication 634 + Host 421 green.
Net -172/+20 across 14 files. Not in the gRPC proto (was deliberately
excluded there), so no wire-format change.
ClusterClient→gRPC migration Phase 4 (docs/plans/2026-07-22-clusterclient-to-grpc-plan.md).
Phases 2/3 proved both directions on gRPC; this removes the Akka transport underneath.
Deleted:
- AkkaCentralTransport, AkkaSiteTransport (+ their dedicated tests)
- ISiteClientFactory + DefaultSiteClientFactory; CentralCommunicationActor legacy
ctor + SelectTransport (Host now builds GrpcSiteTransport and injects it)
- ClusterClient creation + both ClusterClientReceptionist.RegisterService calls in
AkkaHostedService; the RegisterCentralClient message + receive block
- CommunicationOptions.CentralContactPoints; the CentralTransport/SiteTransport
coexistence flags; the CentralTransportMode/SiteTransportKind enums
gRPC is now the only site↔central transport (site→central CentralControlService via
GrpcCentralTransport; central→site SiteCommandService via GrpcSiteTransport), both
built unconditionally by the Host. NoOpCentralTransport is the fail-loud null-default
so TestKit command-dispatch suites still construct the site actor without a wired
transport; production always injects GrpcCentralTransport.
Config: CentralGrpcEndpoints is now unconditional — CommunicationOptionsValidator
rejects blank entries (role-agnostic), and StartupValidator requires a Site node to
list >=1 endpoint (fail-fast, mirrors GrpcPsk). Rig configs moved
CentralContactPoints -> CentralGrpcEndpoints (docker x6, docker-env2 x2, Host default,
deploy/wonder-app-vd03). Kept Akka.Cluster.Tools (ClusterSingleton still used).
Tests: build 0/0; Communication.Tests 640, Host.Tests 421 green. Removed the
ClusterClient.Send per-site-routing tests (covered by the transport suites), swapped
the ISiteClientFactory-based ctors to a substitute ISiteCommandTransport, converted
the audit-push integration relay to an in-process bridge transport.
Docs: Component-Communication/Host/StoreAndForward, components/Communication,
topology-guide, grpc_streams (SUPERSEDED note), the frame-size known-issue (retired
amendment), and CLAUDE.md transport decisions.
Not included: the dead IntegrationCallRequest path (#32) is a separate user-owned
behavioral decision — SiteEnvelope routing is transport-agnostic so it still compiles.
Extract the central→site send path in CentralCommunicationActor behind a new
ISiteCommandTransport, selected by ScadaBridge:Communication:SiteTransport
(Akka | Grpc, default Akka — rollback = flip the flag). CommunicationService's
27 commands, SiteCallAuditActor's 2 parked relays and DebugStreamBridgeActor's
subscribe/unsubscribe are untouched; the seam sits below SiteEnvelope.
- AkkaSiteTransport: today's per-site ClusterClient path extracted verbatim
(the _siteClients lookup + ClusterClient.Send with the reply-to sender
preserved, and the "no client ⇒ warn + drop, caller's Ask times out" path).
- GrpcSiteTransport: dials the site SiteCommandService (T1B.1 proto client) via
SiteCommandDtoMapper, PSK + x-scadabridge-site on the channel through
ControlPlaneCredentials, per-command deadlines set EQUAL to today's
CommunicationService Ask timeouts (per-command, not per-group: DeploymentState
query and TriggerSiteFailover use QueryTimeout; the two parked relays map to
QueryTimeout so SiteCallAudit's inner RelayTimeout 10s < 30s ordering holds;
WaitForAttribute keeps its dynamic Timeout + IntegrationTimeout).
- SitePairChannelProvider: per-site A/B channel pair with sticky failover
(flip only on Unavailable — NEVER on DeadlineExceeded, a write/deploy/failover
may have run), background failback probe to the preferred node with 1s→60s
doubling backoff, PSK invalidation on site removal. Fed by the SAME DB refresh
loop (extended to carry GrpcNodeA/GrpcNodeBAddress) — no second poll.
Tests: actor-with-substitute-transport (routing, Ask-reply plumbing, per-site
lifecycle across refreshes), ResolveDeadline pinned to each command's current
Ask timeout, and GrpcSiteTransport/SitePairChannelProvider over dual in-process
TestServers (PSK+header+deadline attached, Unavailable failover + stickiness,
failback to preferred, no-retry-on-DeadlineExceeded). Proto csproj untouched
(no active <Protobuf> item). Full solution builds 0 warnings; Communication.Tests
607 green with Akka default.
Refactor SiteCommunicationActor's central→site routing table into one
SiteCommandDispatcher — the single routing truth for the 28 migrated commands
(IntegrationCallRequest, the dead 29th, stays on the actor and out of the
dispatcher). The Akka actor and the new SiteCommandGrpcService both route through
one dispatcher instance so the two transports can never drift on where a command
goes. Server-side only: nothing central flips to gRPC yet (that is T1B.3);
ClusterClient remains the live path.
Decisions worth recording:
- Targets preserved byte-for-byte. Lifecycle/OPC UA/query/route → the Deployment
Manager singleton proxy; DeployArtifacts/EventLog/parked → their null-guarded
handlers with the exact same "handler not available" replies; the parked
handler stays NODE-LOCAL (per-node replicated-store owner), never the singleton
proxy — pinned by a dispatcher test that asserts the target is the parked probe
and NOT the dm proxy.
- Sender preservation intact. The actor's command handlers became thin
DispatchCommand delegations that still Forward (central Ask → reply routes
straight back); the existing SiteCommunicationActorTests pass unchanged, which
is the regression guard for that plumbing. UnsubscribeDebugView keeps its
fire-and-forget shape: the actor Forwards, the gRPC service Tells + returns the
synthetic UnsubscribeDebugViewAck so a unary RPC still answers.
- Ack-before-Leave on failover. The dispatcher's PrepareFailover resolves the
standby with a DRY-RUN (no leave) to build the ack, and hands back a deferred
CommitLeave; the gRPC service returns the ack, then schedules the real
Cluster.Leave — so a caller reaching the very node about to leave still gets its
ack instead of a broken stream. The actor path keeps today's coupled
resolve-and-leave (over ClusterClient the ack Tell only enqueues, so order is
immaterial). Proven at both levels: a dispatcher test asserts the ack is built
before CommitLeave runs, and a TestServer test asserts the recorded seam order
is resolve-then-leave.
- ControlPlaneAuthInterceptor gates SiteCommandService by EXTENDING
DefaultGatedPrefixes (descriptor-derived), not by adding a constructor — the
one-public-ctor invariant and its test stay green.
Tests: SiteCommandDispatcherTests (28-command routing incl. parked node-locality
and both failover paths) and SiteCommandGrpcService TestServer tests (auth,
readiness→Unavailable, one command per oneof group, failover ordering). Full
solution build 0/0; Communication.Tests 574 and Host.Tests 377 green. No active
<Protobuf> item.
Introduce ICentralTransport as the site->central choke point inside
SiteCommunicationActor. The seven site->central sends (notification submit/
status, audit + cached-telemetry ingest, reconcile, health, heartbeat) now
delegate to an injected transport instead of owning ClusterClient.Send inline.
- AkkaCentralTransport: verbatim extraction of today's ClusterClient.Send path,
including the exact sender-forwarding that routes central's reply straight
back to the waiting Ask. Default when no transport is injected -> behaviour
unchanged, existing SiteCommunicationActorTests pass as-is.
- GrpcCentralTransport + CentralChannelProvider: dial CentralControlService with
sticky failover + background failback (1s-doubling-cap-60s), PSK +
x-scadabridge-site via ControlPlaneCredentials, per-call deadlines mirroring
today's Ask timeouts. Cross-node retry ONLY on provably-unsent
connect failures; never on DeadlineExceeded. Heartbeat stays fire-and-forget.
- StaticSitePskProvider: site's single own-key provider (fail-closed).
- CommunicationOptions: CentralTransport flag (default Akka) + CentralGrpcEndpoints
(validator: required when transport=Grpc). Host selects the impl; the
ClusterClient is created only on the Akka path.
Tests: actor-with-fake-transport (7 delegations + fault routing + heartbeat
no-fault), AkkaCentralTransport sender-forwarding, GrpcCentralTransport over
in-process TestServer (failover flip, sticky, failback, PSK+header, deadline,
no-retry-on-deadline), validator. Communication.Tests 371 green, Host.Tests 391
green; the three above-seam suites pass unmodified.
Central and each site are SEPARATE Akka clusters, so central cannot act on a
site's membership -- it asks. New TriggerSiteFailover/SiteFailoverAck contract
travels the existing ClusterClient command/control channel (mirroring the
RetryParkedOperation relay); the site's own SiteCommunicationActor performs the
graceful Leave and acks the outcome.
- ClusterFailoverCoordinator moved out of Host into Communication/ClusterState,
beside ActiveNodeEvaluator. Both paths now share ONE oldest-Up implementation;
SiteCommunicationActor cannot reference Host, and the two definitions must not
drift or the node asked to leave stops being the singleton host.
- Site scope is the SITE-SPECIFIC role (site-{SiteId}), not the base Site role --
site singletons are placed on the former, so the base role would move the wrong
node. Pinned by a unit test asserting the role string and by a real-cluster test.
- Site-side guards: refuses a command addressed to another site (a misroute must
never fail over a site the operator did not select), refuses when there is no
peer, and reports a fault as an ack rather than throwing into supervision --
a restart there would drop central's Ask into a bare timeout and lose the reason.
- Ack is sent before the Leave takes effect so it still reaches central.
- UI: the same control now serves both scopes via a SiteId parameter. The site
confirmation deliberately does NOT claim the admin's page will disconnect --
it won't, and crying wolf there devalues the central warning that is real. A
site refusal and an unreachable site surface distinctly.
- Rolling upgrade: a site on an older binary has no handler, so the message
dead-letters and the Ask times out, reported as "site did not respond". That
is the honest outcome; documented on the contract.
Fallout fixed: HealthPageTests now renders the page inside
CascadingAuthenticationState with the real policy set and IAuthorizationService,
because the cards embed an AuthorizeView. That mirrors production, where the
layout supplies the cascading value.
Extend CommunicationOptionsValidator with eager bounds for the four T4
live-alarm-cache options (linger >= 0, reconcile > 0, seed concurrency 1..64,
subscribers-per-site >= 1). Enforce the per-site viewer cap fail-safe in
SiteAlarmLiveCacheService.Subscribe (reject excess viewers with a no-op
disposable rather than growing the list or throwing into the Blazor render
path). Surface two telemetry instruments on the existing ScadaBridgeTelemetry
meter: an active-aggregator observable gauge and a reconnect counter, wired from
the aggregator actor's PreStart/PostStop and its NodeA<->NodeB flip /
reconcile-driven reopen.

Adds the active-central-node, in-memory, reference-counted per-site live alarm
cache backing the operator Alarm Summary page. No persisted central alarm store
([PERM]) — no EF entity/table/migration/DbSet.
- ISiteAlarmLiveCache (new): singleton seam — Subscribe(siteId, onChanged) ->
IDisposable (ref-counted, linger stop on last-out), GetCurrentAlarms, IsLive.
- SiteAlarmAggregatorActor (new): one per site. Seed-then-stream ordering copied
from DebugStreamBridgeActor — open the site-wide alarm-only gRPC stream first,
buffer live deltas while the snapshot fan-out runs, flush with per-key dedup
(AlarmKey = InstanceUniqueName|AlarmName|SourceReference), then live pass-through
into an in-memory dict. Placeholder rows seeded from the snapshot and never
expected on the stream; a real-alarm delta (distinct key) never wipes them.
NodeA<->NodeB reconnect (retry budget + stability window), reconnect re-seeds,
periodic reconcile (authoritative clear-and-rebuild) corrects instance-set drift,
and a budget-exhausted stream self-heals on the next reconcile tick.
- SiteAlarmLiveCacheService (new): DI singleton facade — viewer reference-counting,
linger-delayed last-out stop (version + TryRemove(ref) race guards), the
snapshot fan-out seed (RequestDebugSnapshotAsync per Enabled instance, capped),
bounded start-retry self-heal on transient start failure, and the immutable
published-snapshot store the page reads. Cache mutated only on the actor thread;
viewer callbacks invoked outside the lock.
- CommunicationOptions: LiveAlarmCacheLinger (30s), LiveAlarmCacheReconcileInterval
(60s), LiveAlarmCacheSeedConcurrency (8), LiveAlarmCacheMaxSubscribersPerSite
(200). Task 6 formalizes eager validation + telemetry.
- DI registration + AkkaHostedService SetActorSystem wiring on the active central node.
- Tests: 14 actor (seed/stream ordering, dedup, native-alarm parity, placeholder
coherence, reconnect re-seed, reconcile replace, self-heal, stop) + 6 service
(shared start, linger stop, resubscribe cancels stop, idempotent dispose, unknown
site, transient-start self-heal). Code-reviewer pass: no persistence, no Critical;
both Important findings addressed.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01MtdgwpEeCUn6cUA5f1LMPj
Remove project bookkeeping citations from shipped code comments across the
solution: hyphenated task IDs (WP-14, StoreAndForward-025), milestone/task/
issue refs (M3, Task 4, Audit Log #23, #21), Bundle X task-bundle labels,
and C/D/K/S/T phase labels.
Comment text only — no code logic, string/log literals, or XML-doc structure
changed. Genuine descriptions are preserved (only the citation is stripped),
and technical lookalikes are retained (UTF-8, SHA-256, T00:00:00, M365,
UTC-5, pre-C4/pre-C5 schema versions). Flagged by the new CommentChecker
TaskReferenceInComment / TrackingReferenceInComment checks plus targeted
grep passes; full solution builds clean, append-only guard tests pass.
Notify-and-fetch follow-ups:
- PendingDeploymentPurgeActor: a central cluster singleton (not
readiness-gated, best-effort) that sweeps expired PendingDeployment
staging rows on CommunicationOptions.PendingDeploymentPurgeInterval
(default 1h). Modeled on the kpi-history-recorder pattern: self-scheduling
timer, per-tick DI scope -> IDeploymentManagerRepository, continue-on-error.
Wired in AkkaHostedService.RegisterCentralActors (manager + proxy + drain);
resolves the deferred TODO in DeploymentService. Correctness never depends
on it (supersession bounds rows to <=1/instance; the fetch endpoint enforces
the TTL), so it is deliberately absent from RequiredSingletonsHealthCheck.
- SQL Server integration test for StagePendingIfAbsentAsync re-staging an
instance's OWN DeploymentId over an expired row against the real UNIQUE
index on DeploymentId — confirms EF orders DELETE before INSERT in one
SaveChanges (SQLite's constraint timing differs from SQL Server's). Plus
a same-instance supersession variant on real SQL Server.
Tests: 2 TestKit actor tests + 2 SQL Server integration tests (both ran
green against the infra MSSQL container); 235 Communication + 15
PendingDeployment tests pass; Host builds 0 warnings.
Placeholder AlarmStateChanged rows are a DebugView snapshot-only concept emitted
by InstanceActor.BuildAlarmStatesSnapshot; they are never a real alarm transition.
Their timestamp may be DateTimeOffset.MinValue (the Protobuf Timestamp lower boundary),
which can throw when packed via Timestamp.FromDateTimeOffset.
Added early-return guard at the top of HandleAlarmStateChanged before any timestamp
pack or channel write. Updated the existing NativeBindingLinkage round-trip test to
use a real (non-placeholder) native alarm; added DropsAlarmStateChanged_WhenIsConfiguredPlaceholder
to assert placeholders are silently dropped (15/15 pass).
Add two additive init-only fields to AlarmStateChanged so the Debug View can
nest live native conditions under their configured source-binding node:
- NativeSourceCanonicalName (binding canonical name, e.g. "Motor1.MotorAlarms")
- IsConfiguredPlaceholder (quiet-binding placeholder flag; default false)
Flow on BOTH cross-process paths:
- Live: proto AlarmStateUpdate fields 22/23 -> StreamRelayActor packs ->
SiteStreamGrpcClient unpacks (regenerated SiteStreamGrpc/Sitestream.cs).
- Snapshot (Newtonsoft): record defaults carry through; no special handling.
NativeAlarmActor.Emit now stamps NativeSourceCanonicalName = _source.CanonicalName.
Additive-only: no existing positional constructor or wire frame changed.
Tests: StreamRelayActorTests round-trips both fields pack->unpack;
NativeAlarmActorTests asserts the emitted event carries the binding canonical name.
Replace ValueFormatter.FormatDisplayValue with AttributeValueCodec.Encode
in StreamRelayActor so List<T> attribute values cross the gRPC wire as a
JSON array (e.g. ["a","b"]) rather than a comma-joined display string.
Scalars and null values are unaffected. Tests cover List→JSON, scalar
string pass-through, and null→empty-string.
- MockSiteStreamGrpcClient.SubscribeCalls and UnsubscribedCorrelationIds
switched from bare List<T> to lock-guarded backing fields with snapshot
accessors, eliminating the actor-thread/test-thread data race (matches
the existing lock(events) pattern for ReceivedEvents)
- AttributeKey and AlarmKey null-guard each component with ?? string.Empty
so a null SourceReference/AlarmName/etc. cannot silently collide with an
empty-string component in the dedup dictionary
- On_Snapshot_Opens_GrpcStream renamed to
On_Snapshot_Does_Not_Open_Additional_GrpcStream; assertion updated to
confirm exactly one subscribe (the PreStart stream-first open) with no
second subscribe after snapshot delivery
- _stopped ordering in InstanceNotFound path moved after CleanupGrpc()
for consistency with DebugStreamTerminated and ReceiveTimeout handlers
Re-architect DebugStreamBridgeActor from snapshot-first to stream-first so no
attribute/alarm event occurring during the snapshot-build + network-transit
window is lost (#26).
Lifecycle change:
- PreStart now opens the gRPC subscription FIRST (alongside sending the
SubscribeDebugViewRequest), so live events start flowing immediately.
- Phase model via a single _snapshotDelivered flag (mutated only on the actor
thread). While buffering (snapshot not yet delivered), AttributeValueChanged/
AlarmStateChanged are appended to an ordered _preSnapshotBuffer instead of
being delivered. After snapshot+flush, the same handlers pass through directly.
- On DebugViewSnapshot: deliver snapshot, then flush the buffer in arrival order
with per-entity dedup, then set _snapshotDelivered=true (pass-through).
Dedup rule (exactly-once):
- Identity: attributes by (InstanceUniqueName, AttributePath, AttributeName);
alarms by (InstanceUniqueName, AlarmName, SourceReference) so native
per-condition alarms are not conflated. Keys joined with a NUL delimiter
(declared as an escaped char constant; no raw NUL in source) so distinct
identities never collide on a space within a name.
- Boundary: a buffered event whose timestamp is <= the snapshot's timestamp for
the same entity is already reflected -> DROP; strictly-newer (>) -> DELIVER;
entity absent from the snapshot -> DELIVER (genuine gap-window event).
Preserved paths:
- M2.11 InstanceNotFound: with stream-first the gRPC stream is already open, so
the not-found path now tears it down (CleanupGrpc) + clears the buffer, does
NOT enter pass-through, delivers the not-found snapshot, and stops cleanly.
- Reconnect (ReconnectGrpcStream -> OpenGrpcStream) does not touch the phase
flag: a mid-session reconnect resumes pass-through; a reconnect during the
buffering phase stays buffering until the snapshot arrives.
- Communication-008 retry/stability/stop/terminate + ReceiveTimeout orphan net
unchanged. Duplicate/late snapshot after delivery is ignored defensively.
Tests: 10 new M2.18 tests (stream-first ordering, gap-window buffering, dedup
drop/deliver for attrs + alarms, ordering, pass-through, InstanceNotFound
teardown, reconnect-during-buffering, reconnect-after-snapshot) + revised the
M2.11 not-found test to assert stream teardown. Full DebugStreamBridgeActor
class green: 23/23.
- Add DebugStreamBridgeActorTests: On_InstanceNotFound_Snapshot_Forwards_To_OnEvent_Does_Not_Open_Stream_And_Terminates — asserts _onEvent receives the not-found snapshot, SubscribeCalls remains empty, and the actor terminates cleanly via Watch/ExpectTerminated.
- Add comment in DebugStreamBridgeActor near Context.Stop(Self) explaining that the subsequent StopDebugStream Tell from DebugStreamService.StopStream produces a benign expected dead-letter.
- Reword not-found toast in DebugView.razor to "Instance not found on the selected site — check the deployment target." (accurate when the instance may be deployed to a different site).
RouteDebugSnapshot and RouteDebugViewSubscribe on DeploymentManagerActor
previously returned an empty DebugViewSnapshot for unknown instances,
indistinguishable from a deployed-but-empty instance. Callers had no way
to differentiate "not deployed here" from "deployed, no data yet."
Approach — additive field on existing message contract:
Added `bool InstanceNotFound = false` as an optional trailing parameter
to DebugViewSnapshot (Commons). All existing positional constructor calls
and serialized wire frames are unaffected (default = false). A dedicated
new message type was considered but rejected: the ClusterClient channel
and DebugStreamService TCS are already typed on DebugViewSnapshot, and a
second reply union would require wider changes for zero additive-safety
gain.
Changes:
- Commons/DebugViewSnapshot: add InstanceNotFound = false (additive)
- DeploymentManagerActor: set InstanceNotFound=true in both unknown-
instance branches (RouteDebugViewSubscribe, RouteDebugSnapshot)
- DebugStreamBridgeActor: when snapshot.InstanceNotFound, forward it to
_onEvent (resolves the TCS) then stop cleanly; no gRPC stream opened
- DebugView.razor: check session.InitialSnapshot.InstanceNotFound after
connect and show a clear "not deployed on this site" error toast
- 3 new tests in DeploymentManagerActorTests covering: unknown→snapshot,
unknown→subscribe, known-empty→InstanceNotFound stays false
Adds a Test Bindings button to the Connection Bindings table on the Configure
Instance page that opens a modal showing the live current value of every bound
attribute. Reuses the routing path that the OPC UA tag browser landed on:
Central: TestBindingsDialog → IBindingTester → CommunicationService
→ ReadTagValuesCommand → SiteEnvelope (Ask)
Site: SiteCommunicationActor → DeploymentManagerActor singleton
→ DataConnectionManagerActor → child DataConnectionActor
→ _adapter.ReadBatchAsync
Split mirrors the browse handler:
• Manager owns ConnectionNotFound (only it sees the per-site connection set).
• Child owns ConnectionNotConnected (pre-call status check, never stash —
read is interactive design-time), Timeout (OperationCanceledException),
ServerError (any other exception). Per-tag failures from ReadBatchAsync
become failure TagReadOutcomes without aborting the batch.
CentralUI:
• IBindingTester / BindingTester — Design-role guard via HasClaim against
JwtTokenService.RoleClaimType (not IsInRole — see c1e16cf), typed
transport-failure translation.
• TestBindingsDialog — ShowAsync(siteId, rows, instanceLabel) method-arg
pattern (no Razor parameter race; see 2c138b6), groups rows by connection
and issues one ReadAsync per connection in parallel, per-row error subline
+ per-connection banner, Refresh button re-issues the reads.
• InstanceConfigure.razor — Test Bindings button next to Save Bindings,
disabled when no testable rows. OPC UA only today (other protocols have
no ReadTagValuesCommand wiring yet).
Tests:
• Commons: ReadTagValuesCommand discovered by ManagementCommandRegistry.
• DataConnectionLayer: unknown connection → ConnectionNotFound,
not-connected adapter → ConnectionNotConnected (ReadBatchAsync NOT called),
success-path mapping (Good/Bad + per-tag error), cancellation → Timeout.
• CentralUI: register IBindingTester (and the previously-missing
IOpcUaBrowseService) on the existing InstanceConfigureAuditDrillinTests
Bunit container so the page renders cleanly with the new dialog.
Wires the OPC UA Tag Browser cross-cluster path: central UI Asks via
CommunicationService.BrowseOpcUaNodeAsync -> ClusterClient -> site
SiteCommunicationActor -> /user/dcl-manager (Task 10 handler).
Uses ActorSelection.Tell(msg, Sender) since DataConnectionManagerActor
is not a child of DeploymentManagerActor and ActorSelection has no
Forward() helper; preserving Sender keeps the BrowseOpcUaNodeResult
routing back to the original Ask.
Integration test deferred: tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.IntegrationTests
has no ClusterFixture (only ScadaBridgeWebApplicationFactory, which
does not expose a Communication service nor a seeded site OPC UA
connection). Round-trip will be exercised manually under Task 19.
