Closes the operator parity gap the deferred-work register tracked as #12: native
alarm source overrides could only be set one-at-a-time, while attribute overrides
had a CSV bulk path. Adds an all-or-nothing CSV import for native sources.
- Commons: extract the RFC-4180 line splitter into a shared CsvLineSplitter
(refactor OverrideCsvParser onto it — no behavior change, pinned by its tests);
new NativeAlarmSourceOverrideCsvParser (header SourceName,Connection,
SourceReference,Filter; blank = inherited).
- Commons: NativeAlarmSourceOverrideEntry + bulk SetInstanceNativeAlarmSource-
OverridesCommand (auto-registered via the reflection command registry).
- ManagementService: Deployer-gated handler — flattens once, validates every
source resolves + is unlocked + no duplicates up front, then upserts the whole
batch under a single SaveChanges (true all-or-nothing txn). Added to the frozen
authorization matrix; dispatch-coverage guard passes.
- CLI: `instance native-alarm-source import --instance-id --file` (parity with
`instance import-overrides`) + README.
- Tests: native parser (Commons), CLI parse/entry mapping, 3 bulk-handler tests
(happy path single-commit, locked-source reject, unresolved-source reject).
Also corrects a stale XML-doc line in ScriptRuntimeContext (WaitForAttribute
quality-gated mode is shipped, not "planned") and updates the deferred-work
register: marks #7/#13/#15/#16/#20 verified-resolved, #12 as CLI/API-shipped with
only the Central UI upload affordance still pending.

Closes the four remaining items in the 2026-06-24 template-inheritance/CLI
follow-up tracker.
#4 — CLI `instance set-bindings` can now set DataSourceReferenceOverride.
`--bindings` accepts an optional 3rd element per entry:
[attributeName, dataConnectionId, dataSourceReferenceOverride]. A string
sets the override; a JSON null or an omitted 3rd element leaves it unset
(template default). TryParseBindings accepts 2- or 3-element entries and
rejects a non-string/non-null 3rd element or 4+ elements with a clean
error. Previously the CLI sent the override as null and silently wiped any
existing one (only a raw POST /management could set it).
#5 — `template update` is partial, not full-replace (fixed server-side so all
clients benefit). UpdateTemplateAsync now uses leave-unchanged semantics:
a null description keeps the stored value (pass "" to clear); a null
parentTemplateId keeps the existing parent. Parent stays immutable — a
non-null differing value is still rejected — but omitting --parent-id is
now a no-op instead of failing every derived-template update.
#6 — compact `template list`/`get` table output + `--detail`. Table output is
now id/name/description/parent/derived + member counts (#attrs/#alarms/
#scripts/#comps/#nativeAlarms) via TemplateTableProjection, fed through a
new optional tableProjector seam on CommandHelpers. `--detail` restores the
full dump. JSON output is left untouched (always full) so machine consumers
are unaffected — the projector only runs on the table path.
#8 — structured deploy-time validation error. New ValidationResult.SummarizeErrors()
(Commons) returns a grouped, capped summary: leading total count, one line
per ValidationCategory, and a per-module rollup (canonical name up to its
last dot) with counts + "... and N more module(s)" caps. DeploymentService
uses it for the "Pre-deployment validation failed" message and logs the full
per-entry list via LogWarning. Replaces the flat semicolon-joined dump that
became a wall of text for instances with 50-194 unbound attributes.
Tests: +8 Commons (SummarizeErrors), +8 CLI (4 binding 3-element / 4 table
projection), +2 net TemplateEngine (partial-update). Affected suites green:
Commons 587, CLI 341, TemplateEngine 447, DeploymentManager 101,
ManagementService 230, CentralUI 866; full solution builds 0/0.
Docs: Component-DeploymentManager.md "Validation Error Reporting"; CLI README
(set-bindings 3-element form, template update leave-unchanged, list/get
--detail); UpdateTemplateCommand doc; known-issues tracker #4/#5/#6/#8 resolved
(all 8 items now closed).
