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.
Tasks 5 and 6 of the Phase 2 plan, committed together because their test
fallout is entangled — several fixtures construct both stores.
StoreAndForwardStorage and SiteStorageService now take ILocalDb. Connections
come from ILocalDb.CreateConnection(), which hands out an already-open,
pragma-configured connection carrying the zb_hlc_next() UDF the capture triggers
call; a raw connection would lack the UDF and every write to a replicated table
would fail closed. Deleted with the connection strings: S&F's
EnsureDatabaseDirectoryExists and its per-open busy_timeout pragma, and the site
service's BusyTimeoutFloorSeconds normalization — LocalDb owns all of it now.
DI: AddSiteRuntime's string overload is gone (nothing left to supply), so the
Host calls the no-arg form. ScadaBridge:Database:SiteDbPath and
StoreAndForwardOptions.SqliteDbPath survive only as the migrator's source
locations in Tasks 8/9.
Two things the plan did not anticipate, both worth reading:
1. FOUND A REAL LATENT DEFECT, from Phase 1, now fixed. The plan assumed
directory creation simply moved to LocalDb along with file ownership. It did
not: the LocalDb library never creates the parent directory, and
SqliteLocalDb opens the file eagerly in its constructor — so a missing
directory is a hard boot failure ("SQLite Error 14: unable to open database
file"), not a degraded start. The default site config points at the RELATIVE
path ./data/site-localdb.db, so any site node without a pre-existing data/
directory fails to boot. The docker rig escapes only because its volume mount
happens to create /app/data — a coincidence that would have hidden this until
a bare-metal or fresh deployment. This has been latent since Phase 1 made
LocalDb:Path required; deleting S&F's EnsureDatabaseDirectoryExists here
would have widened it. Re-established the guarantee at the layer that now
owns the path (SiteLocalDbDirectory.Ensure, called before AddZbLocalDb) and
pinned it with SiteLocalDbDirectoryTests. Non-vacuity is not assumed: two
tests written against the wrong assumption failed with exactly this
SQLite Error 14 before the fix existed.
2. Test fallout was ~7x the plan's estimate. The plan named "fixtures" in one
project; the constructor change actually reaches 40 files across 7 test
projects, and most used Mode=Memory;Cache=Shared — which LocalDb has no
equivalent for, so every one had to move to a real temp file. Rather than
copy the Phase 1 TestLocalDb fixture into 7 projects, added a shared
tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.TestSupport library (not a test project) so the
WAL-sidecar cleanup and the "real, not stubbed" rationale live in one place.
Retargeted rather than deleted, in both directions: the S&F WAL test now asserts
against the LocalDb-backed store (WAL genuinely is LocalDb's job), while the
directory-creation test moved to Host.Tests (that guarantee is NOT LocalDb's).
SiteStorageServiceTests.Initialize_EnablesWalJournalMode got the same treatment.
DeploymentManagerMediumFindingsTests induced a persistence failure via an
unopenable path, which no longer reaches the assertion since the fixture now
throws first; it induces the same failure shape via an uninitialized store.
Verified: full solution build 0 warnings; SiteRuntime 532, Host 318,
AuditLog 355, ExternalSystemGateway 142, HealthMonitoring 97,
StoreAndForward 153 — 1597 passed, 0 failed.

Task 4 of the LocalDb Phase 1 adoption plan.
OperationTrackingStore took IOptions<OperationTrackingOptions> and opened its own
SqliteConnection from ConnectionString. It now takes ILocalDb and gets every
connection - writer and the two ad-hoc reader paths - from CreateConnection().
This is not cosmetic. OperationTracking is a RegisterReplicated table, so its
capture triggers call zb_hlc_next(). That UDF is registered per connection by
ILocalDb and by nothing else, so a raw SqliteConnection would fail closed on
every write. Connections from CreateConnection() also arrive already open -
calling Open()/OpenAsync() on one throws - hence the removed OpenAsync calls on
the reader paths.
OperationTrackingOptions.ConnectionString is now vestigial for this store; the
database location is LocalDb:Path. The options class stays (retention settings)
and the config key stays bound for the site config DB.
InitializeSchema is kept but is now always a no-op in the host: onReady runs
while ILocalDb is being constructed, strictly before this constructor can
receive it. It remains so a directly-constructed store (tests, tooling) is
self-sufficient.
Tests: the store fixture moves off mode=memory&cache=shared onto a real ILocalDb
over a temp file. There is no in-memory mode - LocalDbOptions.Path is a
filesystem path - and testing through a raw in-memory connection would no longer
resemble the host. Verifier connections stay raw on purpose: this fixture never
registers the table, so no trigger fires and the UDF is never reached.
Three DI fixtures needed LocalDb:Path added, because resolving
IOperationTrackingStore now forces ILocalDb construction:
SiteCompositionRootTests, SiteAuditWiringTests, and the AuditLog
CombinedTelemetryHarness.
Verified: build 0 warnings; Host 294/294, SiteRuntime 530/530, AuditLog 354/354.
