F1: deploy/wonder-app-vd03/appsettings.Site.json (outside git, WP1.2's
StartupValidator gate applies live on next install/upgrade) was missing the
now-required AuditLog:SiteWriter:DatabasePath, added pointing at
E:\ApiInstall\ScadaBridge\site\data\auditlog.db alongside the file's
existing SiteEventLog/LocalDb paths; scanned deploy/ for other Site-role
appsettings with the same gap (none) and confirmed wonder does not pin
LocalDb:Replication:MaxBatchSize (F2 doesn't apply there).
F2: re-pin an explicit LocalDb:Replication:MaxBatchSize=64 on docker/site-a
node-a and node-b. MaxBatchBytes (2 MB default) only bounds the wire
message via the per-message split in SyncSession.PumpLoopAsync;
MaxBatchSize separately bounds the DB read page in
OplogStore.ReadBatchAboveAsync/SnapshotStreamer, which materializes the
whole page into memory before that split runs. Left at the 500 default, a
reconnect drain of worst-case config_json rows could transiently allocate
~35 MB per read even though every wire message stayed within budget.
Updated the CLAUDE.md LocalDb bullet to stop implying the row cap is fully
redundant with the byte budget (topology-guide.md has no matching claim).
F3: StoreAndForwardService's observer-queue onDropped callback logged a
Warning per dropped item, flooding logs at sweep rate for a stuck observer
with a large queue. LogObserverQueueDrop now logs once immediately on the
first drop of an episode, then throttles to at most one rollup Warning per
minute while drops continue, reporting the count dropped since the last
log; the cumulative ObserverQueueDroppedCount counter is unaffected.
Extended StoreAndForwardServiceTests with
ObserverQueue_ManyDropsInOneEpisode_LogsExactlyOneWarning, which floods the
bounded queue and pins exactly one drop-related Warning log for the
episode via a small CapturingLogger test double.
dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.slnx: 0 warnings, 0 errors.
dotnet test StoreAndForward.Tests: 134/134 passed.
dotnet test Host.Tests: 490/490 passed.
CachedDrain_OrphanRow_PastGrace_IsAbandoned_AndTheValidRowStillFlows gated on
IngestCachedTelemetryAsync being received once and then asserted, bare, that the
valid row had been marked Forwarded. The drain does that strictly AFTER the push
returns: OnCachedDrainAsync abandons the orphan (:351), pushes the batch (:366),
then parses the ack and marks the accepted ids (:380). Observing the push
therefore orders nothing with respect to the second MarkForwardedAsync — under a
loaded parallel run the post-push continuation can be scheduled after the poll
that saw the push, and the assertion fails fast with "Actually received no
matching calls" while the orphan's own earlier call is reported as the single
non-matching one.
Reproduced deterministically by delaying only the post-push step, which fails
exactly this test (11 siblings still pass) at ~1.3s into the assembly run —
matching the observed failure's fast-fail signature and pointing at line 430.
With the fix the same injected delay passes; suppressing the valid row's
MarkForwarded entirely still fails the test with the identical message, so the
claim (orphan abandoned in its own call, valid row pushed and marked, exactly
once each with exactly the same arguments) is unchanged in force.
Same unsynchronized-assertion class as c4caebe9, different actor. Test-only; the
drain's abandon/push/mark ordering is correct as written.
Both NotifyDispatcher_AuditWriter_Throws_DeliveryStillSucceeds and
NotificationDispatch_BrokenAuditWriter_StillTransitionsToDelivered read the
throwing writer's attempt counter with a bare Assert immediately after an
AwaitAssert on the Notifications row reaching Delivered. That assumes the audit
writes happen no later than the operational status write, which the dispatcher
deliberately does NOT guarantee: DeliverOneAsync persists the delivery state
first (NotificationOutboxActor.cs:657) and only then emits the Attempted
(:663) and terminal (:676) audit rows — audit is best-effort and must never
gate the user-facing action. Observing Delivered therefore establishes no
happens-before edge with the writer, and under a loaded full-solution parallel
run the continuation after the DB write can be scheduled after the poll that
saw Delivered, so the counter reads 0 and the test fails with "saw 0".
Reproduced deterministically by delaying only the post-update audit emission,
which yields both observed failure messages verbatim; with the fix in place the
same injected delay passes, and suppressing the emissions entirely still fails
both tests with the identical messages — the claims (delivery despite audit
failure, and attempts >= N) are unchanged in force, only the ordering
assumption is gone.
Test-only change; the update-then-audit ordering predates the remediation
(#23 M4) and is correct as written.
Implements WP3.2 stage (b) per docs/plans/2026-08-15-site-events-policy-design.md.
- Per-run instance-script Started/Completed Info site events are now off by
default (SiteRuntimeOptions.PerRunScriptEvents=false) instead of firing on
every run, closing the dominant site_events writer. Gated at the ScriptRunLauncher
call sites (moved there from ScriptExecutionActor by WP3.1). Error-level events
(timeout/failure/stuck-watchdog/recursion-limit) remain unconditional.
- ScriptRunSummaryRecorder accumulates per-(instance, script) run counters and a
new site-only ScriptRunSummaryFlushService emits one aggregate "script" Info
site event per ScriptRunSummaryIntervalSeconds (default 300s), top-50-script
breakdown with an "others" rollup, zero-activity intervals emit nothing.
- Per-script opt-in via PerRunScriptEventScripts ("Instance/Script" exact or
"Instance/*" wildcard), matched by the new pure ScriptRunEventPolicy. All three
options are read from IOptionsMonitor<SiteRuntimeOptions> per run, so the
policy is hot-togglable without a restart.
- Fixed the stale "event log is not replicated" comment at AkkaHostedService.cs
(~905): site_events IS registered in SiteLocalDbSetup.ReplicatedTables — the
singleton is what makes queries always hit the actively-written copy;
replication is what gives the singleton history to read after a failover
(memo Decision (b)). site_events replication itself is unchanged (still
registered) and already pinned by
tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Host.Tests/SiteLocalDbCdcRegistrationTests.cs.
- Updated Component-SiteEventLogging.md (Volume Policy section, corrected
Storage/replication rationale) and Component-SiteRuntime.md (Script Run
Launch + Error Handling sections).
WP2.6 (arch-review remediation, cross-cutting misc):
- SiteExternalSystemRepository: name/ID-indexed ExternalSystemDefinitionCache replaces
the fetch-all + reverse-map scan on every by-ID/method lookup; loaded once per
redeploy, invalidated by DeploymentManagerActor after HandleDeployArtifacts applies
external-system changes. Static JsonSerializerOptions for method-list parsing.
- Inbound API: short-TTL ApiMethodCache fronts the per-request ApiMethod repository
fetch; invalidated by name via the existing ScriptArtifactChangeSubscriber/
IScriptArtifactChangeBus pipeline, self-healing via TTL for changes the bus
doesn't cover (e.g. Management API edits).
- StoreAndForward: the cached-call audit-observer queue — the one unbounded channel
left in the system — is now bounded (ObserverQueueCapacity, default 10,000) with
DropOldest overflow and a dropped-notification counter.
- SiteStreamManager: alarm state changes now travel a dedicated publish
source/broadcast hub, isolated from the (far higher-volume) attribute path, so an
attribute storm can no longer evict a pending alarm transition; the alarm hand-off
queue is bounded with a drop counter surfaced on the site health report
(SiteStreamAlarmDropCount via the new SiteStreamAlarmDropReporter), and publishing
is skipped entirely at zero subscribers on either path.
- CLI ManagementHttpClient: explicit 30s HttpClient.Timeout on the shared
construction (was the 100s framework default), overridable via
SCADABRIDGE_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS.
Deviation: the failback-probe heartbeat item is NOT included — its only viable
surface (CentralChannelProvider.cs / heartbeat consumers) lives entirely in the
Communication project, explicitly off-limits to this work package this phase.
Tests: SiteRuntime.Tests (550), InboundAPI.Tests (278), StoreAndForward.Tests (133),
CLI.Tests (390), HealthMonitoring.Tests (97) — all green after full solution build.
Closes WP1.2 of the arch-review remediation plan (finding #2, High):
SqliteAuditWriterOptions.DatabasePath defaulted to CWD-relative "auditlog.db",
which on the docker rig resolves onto the container's ephemeral overlayfs
(not the mounted /app/data volume), silently discarding the pending audit
forward-state backlog on every recreate; nothing in docker/ or docker-env2/
overrode it; FlushIntervalMs was validated but never read by the writer loop
(one commit per event even at trickle rate); and no PRAGMA synchronous was
set (SQLite's FULL default fsyncs every commit).
- DatabasePath now has no default (mirrors ZB.MOM.WW.LocalDb's LocalDbOptions.Path)
and is required pre-host for Site nodes only, via a new StartupValidator raw-config
check (top-level "AuditLog:SiteWriter:DatabasePath", NOT nested under ScadaBridge:
AddAuditLog binds that section off the configuration root). SqliteAuditWriterOptionsValidator
deliberately does NOT check DatabasePath itself, because AddAuditLog runs its
ValidateOnStart on both Central and Site composition roots but only Site nodes
ever resolve the writer — checking it there would fail Central's boot too.
- All 8 site-node appsettings under docker/ and docker-env2/ now set
AuditLog:SiteWriter:DatabasePath to /app/data/auditlog.db (mounted volume,
survives container recreate, same convention as LocalDb:Path); the local-dev
base appsettings.Site.json sets ./data/auditlog.db to match.
- The writer loop now honors FlushIntervalMs: after draining the immediately
available burst, it keeps the transaction open (bounded by FlushIntervalMs
from the first event) waiting for more trickle-rate events before committing,
instead of flushing (and fsyncing) per event.
- PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL on the write connection — audit is best-effort by
design (CLAUDE.md: "Audit-write failure NEVER aborts the user-facing action"),
so NORMAL's narrower power-loss window is an acceptable trade for far fewer
fsyncs; WAL mode still guarantees no corruption.
- Tests: StartupValidator site-required/blank/central-exempt cases; writer
trickle-load single-transaction coalescing + beyond-interval separate-transaction
regression (new FlushCountForTests seam); options-validator doc updates reflecting
the moved responsibility. Full suite runs green: AuditLog.Tests 368/368,
Host.Tests 480/480.
One-time migration note: the existing container-local auditlog.db (wherever it
landed under CWD) is abandoned by this change, not migrated — already-forwarded
rows are safe centrally (AuditLog is the durable copy), and any still-Pending
rows on the abandoned path are lost once. This is the exact bug being fixed, not
a new loss: those rows were already living outside the mounted volume and would
not have survived the next container recreate regardless. Cross-reference
docs/known-issues/2026-07-20-cached-telemetry-drain-hot-loop.md, which this
placement bug caused.
SiteLocalDbSetup.OnReady registered all ten replicated tables
unconditionally, so a deliberately unreplicated site node (site-b and
site-c on the rig) carried the full 30-trigger CDC set forever. Every
write to those tables paid two extra INSERTs plus a json_object
serialization of the whole row, inside the caller's own transaction, and
appended to an oplog nothing ever drains. Arch-review finding #5 (High),
repo half; the library half — trigger cleanup API and O(1) backlog — is
WP3.3.
The ten RegisterReplicated calls are now behind a guard on whether the
node has LocalDb:Replication:PeerAddress OR LocalDb:Replication:ApiKey.
Either key counts, and the OR is load-bearing rather than defensive:
replication is one bidirectional stream that exactly one side dials, so
only the initiator sets PeerAddress. Verified against the rig — site-a
node-a has PeerAddress + ApiKey, site-a node-b (passive) has ApiKey
alone, site-b/site-c have no Replication section at all. Keying on
PeerAddress alone would have stripped capture from every passive node and
silently made each pair converge in one direction only.
The load-bearing ordering documented in the file is preserved: DDL still
precedes registration, and the legacy migrator still runs unconditionally
after it — an unreplicated node must still absorb its pre-Phase-1 files,
and it has no peer for those rows to be invisible to.
Known residual, documented in-file and in the topology guide: a database
file first created by an older build keeps its stale __localdb_* triggers.
The guard decides whether triggers are installed, not whether existing
ones are removed, and the library has no removal API until WP3.3. Moot on
the docker rig, where a schema-change redeploy recreates the volumes.
The inverse is also now documented: enabling replication on a site that
has run without it does not baseline existing rows, since CDC never
recorded them in __localdb_row_version and the snapshot resync streams
from that ledger.
Tests: new SiteLocalDbCdcRegistrationTests asserts trigger presence and
absence via sqlite_master across all four config shapes (none, ApiKey
only, PeerAddress + ApiKey, and the notification-table exclusion), plus
DDL-still-runs and migrator-still-runs on the unreplicated branch.
SiteLocalDbWiringTests and the integration site-pair harness now
configure an ApiKey — mirroring the rig's passive node — so their
registration and convergence assertions still describe a replicating
node. 483/483 Host.Tests pass; the 20 offline LocalDb convergence tests
still pass.
The Secrets management UI (ZB.MOM.WW.Secrets Secrets.Ui, mounted at
/admin/secrets) has been linked from the NavMenu Admin section since the
Theme adoption, but no NavMenu test asserted it. Add bUnit coverage that
the item renders for an Administrator and is absent for a
Designer+Deployer principal, matching the existing role-gate test style.
The rig pointed at the shared 10.100.0.35 GLAuth whose serviceaccount password
was rotated (SEC-36), so central login had been failing ('Authentication service
is misconfigured') and a TEMP DisableLogin workaround was pending. Central nodes
now point at the local redundant pair (scadaproj/infra/glauth-redundant,
host.docker.internal:3893 + FallbackServers :3894), where the dev bind password
is correct — live-gated on the redeployed rig: login OK, primary-kill failover,
sticky preference (bind-count proven), walk-back on backup-kill.
AuthFlowTests factory bound as cn=admin for search-then-bind, but the current
directory grants the search capability only to serviceaccount (admin searches
return 50 Insufficient access) — stale since the GLAuth config evolved; the test
had been skipping on the closed port and failed once anything answered :3893.
Now binds as serviceaccount; AuthFlowTests 5/5 against the pair.
ScriptOptions.WithReferences(Assembly[]) resolves each assembly through
MetadataReference.CreateFromFile, which does not cache: every call mints a
fresh AssemblyMetadata -> PEReader -> NativeHeapMemoryBlock holding an
unmanaged copy of the assembly metadata that nothing disposes. Building the
options per compile therefore leaked native memory permanently — invisible to
the GC, to gcdump and to the managed allocation counters, so the working set
grew while the GC heap did not.
Diagnosed from a live dump of a wonder-app-vd03 Site node: 2,885 MB working
set 78 min after a cold start, only 150 MB live GC heap, ~2,469 MB on the
default process heap across ~6,700 undisposed AssemblyMetadata instances
against 473 DLLs on disk.
Three sites, all hoisted to static readonly:
- SiteRuntime ScriptCompilationService (the dumped one)
- InboundAPI InboundScriptExecutor — same defect on the central node; method
compiles recur on every re-registration and revision change
- CentralUI ScriptAnalysisService — CreateFromFile per sandbox run
ScriptAnalysis RoslynScriptCompiler also builds options per call but draws
from the static ScriptTrustPolicy.DefaultReferences, so it mints no metadata
and is left alone.
Guarded by reference-equality on the artifact rather than by watching memory:
a bytes-watching test would be flaky, and the leak is native so the managed
counters cannot see it at all. The test is proven to fail before the fix.
This does NOT close the AddTemplateScript OOM — that path was shown twice not
to compile scripts. It explains how a long-running node reaches a native
memory state where a large allocation fails with gigabytes free, which is a
lead worth re-testing, not a closure.
Component-AuditLog.md has always required "we over-redact, never under-redact,
on configuration faults", but the body / SQL-parameter redactors violated it.
AuditRegexCache rejects a pattern that is malformed OR whose compile exceeds a
100 ms budget, caching the rejection for the process lifetime.
ScadaBridgeAuditRedactor then simply dropped the rejected pattern from its
redactor set and emitted the payload anyway — publishing precisely the values
the operator configured it to suppress, onto a row that looks entirely normal
downstream. Recovery required a process restart and the only signal was one
Warning line. The SQL path was worse: TryGetSqlParamRedactor returned a bare
false for both "no redactor configured for this connection" and "the configured
one will not compile", and CLAUDE.md records SQL parameter capture as on by
default.
Two changes:
1. Fail closed. A pattern that is CONFIGURED but unavailable now over-redacts
the whole payload and increments AuditRedactionFailure, reusing the existing
safety-net path. "Not configured at all" stays permissive — conflating those
two states is the actual defect, so both are pinned by tests.
2. Precompile off the hot path. The audit-log roadmap specifies patterns are
"precompiled at startup; rejected if compile takes >100ms"; the implementation
had drifted to compiling lazily on first event, which put a wall-clock budget
on a hot path under production load. RegexOptions.Compiled emits IL during
construction, so a busy node could blow the budget on a perfectly valid
pattern. Warm-up now runs at construction and on every options reload. The
residual window between a reload and its warm-up is safe because that path
now fails closed.
Warm-up deliberately does not fail the boot — an unusable pattern degrades the
node to over-redaction (safe, loud) rather than refusing to start. Reading
CurrentValue happens inside the warm-up try so an options provider that throws
still surfaces via Apply's over-redact path, not the constructor
(OuterCatch_OptionsThrows_NeverLeaks_AllSensitiveFieldsOverRedacted).
Also de-flakes GrpcCentralTransportTests.DeadlineExceeded_IsNotRetriedOnThePeer,
which is how this was found. It black-holed node A behind a 300 ms deadline, but
on a saturated machine the call could fail to even START — a genuinely-unsent
failure that IsConnectFailure correctly fails over on, so node B's ack arrived
instead of the expected Status.Failure. The test read as a flake while actually
reporting that its own premise had not held. Split in two: the hard rule now
injects an explicit DeadlineExceeded via a trailers-only response (deterministic,
load-independent), and a new BlackHoledNode_DoesNotHang covers the
deadline-is-actually-applied half with both nodes black-holed so no ack can
arrive down any path.
Verified: both fixes were confirmed to fail before they pass — reverting the
fail-closed guard fails exactly the 5 fail-closed tests while the 4 controls
still pass, and adding DeadlineExceeded to IsConnectFailure fails the rewritten
transport test. AuditLog 367/367, Host.Tests GrpcCentralTransport 8/8, solution
build clean. The previously-intermittent
Filter_PicksUp_NewBodyRedactor_OnConfigReload is green in a full sweep for the
first time.
Not addressed here, and noted on #35: the 100 ms wall-clock budget remains a
weak proxy for catastrophic backtracking (RegexOptions.Compiled defers JIT to
first match, so construction time measures the wrong thing), and a rejection is
still cached permanently. Both are now safe rather than dangerous, so they are
hardening rather than a leak.
0.6.x refuses a secret store whose path is relative or inside the content root,
because a store in the deployment directory is destroyed by an ordinary upgrade —
the failure that wiped the MxGateway API-key store on 2026-08-09 and read as an
auth outage rather than a deployment error.
The pin alone would not have protected this repo. Program.cs expands ${secret:}
before the host exists, composing secrets into a throwaway ServiceCollection with
no IHostEnvironment, so the guard would not run at the moment the migrator creates
the store. That composition now lives in SecretsRegistration with an explicit
content root — resolved to match what the host resolves later, including the
Windows-Service case where the pre-host CWD is still system32 — and is covered by
PreHostSecretsContentRootTests, verified by simulating the regression and
confirming it fails on the leftover file rather than on the exception.
The docker rig needed a fix too: /app/data is absolute but inside the container's
content root, so all 8 nodes would have failed to boot. Each node's data directory
is now mounted a second time at /data; same host directory, so existing stores
carry over untouched.
Verified: build clean, 29 test assemblies green (Playwright's 159 failures are the
pre-existing SEC-36 login baseline). Not yet deployed — the rig runs the old
config until someone redeploys.
Gating the detail modal/drawer on a held id rather than on the row resolving
(d14e0ee4) made it the surface's own job to clear that id when navigation
invalidates page-scoped state. ParkedMessages and ConfigurationAuditLog did not,
so paging away from an open row left the surface mounted on a notice it could
never recover from — reachable only by paging back.
The criterion is per-surface and comes down to whether the modal has content of
its own:
ParkedMessages, ConfigurationAuditLog — no keyed detail fetch; content resolves
from the loaded page alone. An entry paged out of view can never resolve again,
so these must clear on paging. They already cleared it on Search/OnSiteChanged
for the same reason, and clear _selectedIds on paging for the same reason
again; paging was simply missed.
NotificationReport, SiteCallsReport — fetch detail by id, so the modal still
shows real content after its row leaves the page. These deliberately do NOT
clear on paging and are unchanged.
Clearing on an explicit navigation action is user intent, not a resolve-driven
unmount, so this cannot reopen the handler-disposal race that d14e0ee4 closed.
PageScopedDetailStateTests covers all three paging entry points and records the
criterion so the next reader can tell why two surfaces clear and two do not. Run
against both clears reverted, all three fail; restored, all three pass.
CentralUI.Tests 994/994, solution build 0/0.
Also corrects two comments in ParkedMessages left stale by d14e0ee4 — they still
described the drawer as self-closing when a row stops resolving, which is the
behaviour that change deliberately removed.
The sweep's modal re-key (holding the row's id and re-resolving it, rather than
holding the record) also used that resolve as the modal's visibility gate. That
makes the modal's existence a function of list contents: any render where the
row is momentarily unresolvable unmounts the whole subtree and disposes every
event-handler id inside it, Close's included. A click already in flight against
a disposed handler makes the renderer throw GetRequiredEventBindingEntry during
DispatchEventAsync — which is how this surfaced, as an intermittent failure of
CloseButton_DismissesModal (989/990 on one run, green on re-run).
The record-held form made that structurally impossible: the modal existed
because the user opened it, and no list mutation could retract that. This
restores the property while keeping the re-key's actual benefit. Visibility now
gates on the held id; the resolve drives only content. An unresolvable row
degrades to an explicit notice and hides the row-scoped actions, while the frame
and Close stay mounted. Detail fetched by id still renders, so the user does not
lose the body they opened.
Applied to all four surfaces that shared the construction: NotificationReport,
ConfigurationAuditLog, ParkedMessages (offcanvas drawer) and SiteCallsReport.
Modal_StaysOpen_WhenItsRowLeavesThePage drops the opened row from the next query
and asserts the modal survives, keeps its fetched body, hides Retry/Discard, and
that Close still works. It was run against a deliberately restored defective
gate and failed there before passing here — a regression test that passes both
ways would be worthless against a race. 20 consecutive runs of the previously
flaky class: no failures. CentralUI.Tests 991/991, solution build 0/0.
The plan doc gains a section recording that the sweep was reported as
behaviour-preserving when it was not, and why the merge review missed it.
Applies the family-wide admin-UI cleanup playbook to the Central UI so the
Blazor surfaces stop diverging from the shared kit: buttons are grouped rather
than individually sized, long cell values are contained instead of widening
tables, and hard-coded colours give way to theme tokens.
The headline fix is that MainLayout passed Accent="#2f5fd0" to ThemeShell,
which the kit emits as an inline style on the shell root. Being a descendant of
<html>, it beat the [data-bs-theme="dark"] override for the entire app, so the
dark accent had never rendered. Declaring --accent in site.css :root instead
lets both schemes resolve; light is unchanged because the value already matched
the kit's light default.
Theme pins to 0.4.1, which upstreams the local .btn sizing block verbatim, so
that block is deleted here rather than duplicated. Verified byte-identical
before removal; the repo now declares no --bs-btn-* anywhere.
NOT purely cosmetic, contrary to the sweep's stated scope: four detail-modal
surfaces (NotificationReport, ConfigurationAuditLog, ParkedMessages,
SiteCallsReport) were additionally refactored from holding the selected record
to holding its id and re-resolving from the current page each render, with the
resolve doubling as the visibility gate. A background refresh that drops the
row now closes the modal instead of showing a stale snapshot. This is a
behaviour change and is called out rather than buried: a full-suite run turned
up one intermittent CentralUI failure, CloseButton_DismissesModal, whose stack
(GetRequiredEventBindingEntry during DispatchEventAsync) indicates the handler
was disposed between render and click — a window the previous field-held record
made structurally impossible. Treat the modal lifecycle here as unreviewed.
Build 0/0; suite green apart from that one intermittent failure.
