Replace the private SitePairActiveNodeHealthCheck (503 whenever no ActorSystem, no data)
with the shared ZB.MOM.WW.Health ActiveNodeHealthCheck constructed with the site-{SiteId}
role: Degraded (200) during startup per the Health spec, and it publishes
selfAddress/activeRole/activeNode so the Overview dashboard can name the active site node.

Audit (docs/plans/2026-11-09-central-cache-staleness-audit.md) of every central in-process
cache holding configuration or secret state, with its staleness bound on the peer central
node. Every config cache with peer staleness is TTL-bounded (5-60 s) and Traefik routes to the
active node only, so no peer case was clearly a bug and no cross-node broadcast is added; the
doc names the existing DistributedPubSub mediator (health replication topic) as the mechanism
if one is wanted. Owner decisions listed: RoleMappingCache 30 s revocation lag on the peer,
SitePskProvider caching a PSK forever across an in-place rotation (both nodes), and the #83
ExternalDefinitionLookupCache 10 s bound.
Fixed: ManagementActor API-method create/update/delete invalidated only the compiled handler,
not ApiMethodCache, so the node that made the change kept serving the pre-change row for up to
the 5 s TTL (a deleted method stayed callable; a cached not-found hid a new one). The handlers
now drop the entry post-commit, like the role-mapping cache.
Tests: ApiMethodCacheInvalidationTests (create/update/delete fail without the fix; a
negative control checks other methods stay cached).

The InboundAPI carried its own IActiveNodeGate (implemented by Host/Health/ActiveNodeGate)
whose rule already matched the shared Health 0.3.0 AkkaActiveNodeGate — both route to
ClusterActiveNode (oldest Up member). The private interface and implementation are deleted;
InboundAPI references ZB.MOM.WW.Health (0.3.0, already pinned) and InboundApiEndpointFilter,
AuditWriteMiddleware, InboundMethodWarmupService and FlowDebugRunner consume
ZB.MOM.WW.Health.IActiveNodeGate. The Central branch of Program.cs registers
AkkaActiveNodeGate (unscoped, like the active-node health check).
Warm-up behaviour is kept: the shared gate answers false while no ActorSystem resolves, while
this member is not Up, and on any cluster-init fault. It resolves the ActorSystem through the
existing DI singleton bridge (GetOrCreateActorSystem), the same path the health probes use.
Tests: CompositionRoot asserts the shared gate type (fails with the registration removed);
the evaluator wiring test now drives AkkaActiveNodeGate; new warm-up test (no ActorSystem ->
not active). Nothing was missing from the Health 0.3.0 package.

`health pending-updates` (#63) called IPendingUpdatesEvaluator.EvaluateAsync directly
from ManagementActor because the cache lived in CentralUI, so every CLI call was a full
uncached fleet flatten. IPendingUpdatesCache/PendingUpdatesCache now live in
DeploymentManager.PendingUpdates and are registered by AddDeploymentManager; the
SingleFlightMemo<T> primitive moves to Commons.Caching (public) so both CentralUI's KPI /
alarm-summary caches and DeploymentManager can use it. HandleGetPendingUpdates reads the
shared cache; the UI circuits and the CLI now share one memo per node.
Tests: ManagementActor repeated-calls test (fails against the direct evaluator call:
2 evaluations instead of 1), AddDeploymentManager singleton-registration test; the cache
and memo tests move with their types.

- ApplyTemplatesAsync/PreviewAsync template lookups use a case-insensitive,
never-throwing comparer (SQL Server collation); base template wins over derived.
Base names are already unique case-insensitively via the filtered unique index
on Template.Name, derived templates are not covered by it.
- Preview reads database connections, notification lists and API methods with one
GetAll query each instead of one by-name query per bundled row.
- Component-TemplateEngine.md: the flattener does not call GetAllTemplatesAsync;
it loads chains via GetTemplateWithChildrenAsync.

Measured first: a scratch scaling probe (seed -> export -> load/preview/apply
into a fresh target and over itself, in-memory provider, every repository
call counted, DetectChanges counted via ChangeTracker.DetectingAllChanges)
showed load, preview and the instance pass scale linearly (500 / 1000 / 2000
instances apply in 0.13 / 0.27 / 0.35 s), but the post-flush template
rewire passes were quadratic: 100 / 400 / 800 composing, derived templates
applied in 0.5 / 8.1 / 26.5 s, with DetectChanges running 5N+10 times and
GetTemplateWithChildrenAsync 2N+2 times.
Cause: ResolveAlarmScriptLinksAsync, ResolveCompositionEdgesAsync and
ResolveInheritanceEdgesAsync found each template with
_dbContext.Templates.Local.FirstOrDefault(...) - per template, and per
composition edge / base lookup. Every DbSet.Local access runs a full
DetectChanges over everything the import has staged. The first two passes
also re-read every template's children one query at a time (a split query
per call on SQL Server).
Fix (no bundle-format or semantic change):
- each pass indexes the tracked templates by name once
(SnapshotLocalTemplatesByName; ordinal, first wins like FirstOrDefault).
These passes never stage a template or rename one, so the index stays
exact for the pass;
- the alarm and composition passes read their templates' children in one
batched GetTemplatesWithChildrenAsync, matched back by the stub's id;
- the alarm pass only loads templates whose bundled alarms name an
on-trigger script (the only ones it can rewire).
Result on the same probe: 100 / 400 / 800 templates apply in
0.13 / 0.62 / 0.64 s; DetectChanges is a constant 9; per-template children
reads 0, batched reads 1 (add) / 2 (overwrite).
Evidence: ImportApplyScalingTests (Transport.IntegrationTests) exports 5 and
40 composing, derived templates with alarm -> script links, imports each
into an empty target (Add) and again (Overwrite), and asserts the imported
inheritance / composition / alarm-script links, zero per-template children
reads, at most 3 batched reads, and an identical DetectChanges count for 5
and 40 templates. Fails on the old importer (12 per-template reads), and
with a per-DTO Local snapshot reintroduced in one pass (DetectChanges 51
vs 16). Transport unit (198) and integration (138) suites pass.
Not changed: preview's per-name lookups for database connections,
notification lists and API methods stay per-name - moving them to an
in-memory ordinal match could change name matching under a case-insensitive
SQL collation.

DeploymentService.TryPurgeTerminalDeploymentRecordsAsync rate-limited its
opportunistic retention sweep with a process-wide static tick field, so only
one test in the assembly could drive the sweep and its swallow-on-failure path
was untested.
The limit now lives in TerminalPurgeRateLimiter: a TimeProvider-driven
compare-and-swap claim (MinInterval 6 h) registered by AddDeploymentManager as
a DI singleton, so every scoped DeploymentService still shares one limit per
node. DeploymentService takes it as an optional trailing constructor parameter;
a hand-built instance gets its own limiter. The sweep's cutoff now comes from
the same clock. Behaviour is otherwise unchanged.
Evidence (TerminalPurgeRateLimiterTests):
- claim once per interval on an injected clock; 16 concurrent claimants ->
exactly one wins;
- two services with their own limiters both sweep, two sharing one sweep once;
- cutoff = injected now - retention;
- a failing artifact batch is logged as a warning with the exception and
swallowed, the already-purged terminal rows are still reported, the next
call inside the interval does not retry and the first call after it does;
a first-batch failure returns 0 and skips the artifact purge;
- AddDeploymentManager registers the limiter as a singleton shared across scopes.
Mutation-checked: a process-wide static limiter fails 5 tests (incl. the
existing artifact-purge test); narrowing the catch fails both failure tests.

The last two whole-library template reads are gone. Both fed the
inheritance-only TemplateInheritanceResolver, which walks one template's
parent chain and never follows compositions.
- TemplateService.ResyncInheritedMembersAsync (operator repair, CLI + editor)
now reads #86's GetTemplateReconcileClosureAsync (derived subtree + the
template's chain, tracked). When nothing derives from the template the
closure is empty, so it falls back to the new tracked
GetTemplateChainAsync - resyncing a leaf reads only its own chain.
- ManagementActor.HandleGetResolvedTemplateMembers now reads
GetTemplateChainAsync(id, trackChanges: false): the chain alone, untracked,
with script bodies (the resolver projects script code, so #66's body-free
analysis closure would not be equivalent).
The chain walk is factored out of TemplateReconcileClosure into
CollectChainAsync (one load per level, stops on parent cycles and dangling
parents) and shared by both.
Evidence:
- TemplateChainReadTests (#86 fixture): for every template plus an unknown
id, the closure-backed resync issues exactly the writes, audit row and
result of the whole-graph resync with GetAllTemplatesAsync wired to throw;
the resolver answers identically from the chain and the whole graph.
17 of these fail against the old service; 13 fail with the leaf chain
fallback removed (mutation-checked).
- TemplateChainRepositoryTests (SQLite, recorded SQL): a 4-deep chain loads
4 templates / 8 attributes instead of 46 / 92, one split-query set per
level, untracked on request and tracked for the resync.
- ResolvedTemplateMembersReadTests: the actor answers from the untracked
chain read and never calls GetAllTemplatesAsync (fails on the old actor).

Health page gains PendingUpdatesHealthTiles (stale instances / sites with stale
artifacts, Deployer+Administrator only, site-scope narrowed, shared cache). New
GetPendingUpdates management command (Deployer) and 'health pending-updates' CLI
leaf. Flatten/cache computation untouched; the command reads
IPendingUpdatesEvaluator directly because the UI cache is not reachable from
ManagementService.

New SiteWriteFailureBadges component renders warning badges for
SiteEventLogWriteFailures, SiteAuditWriteFailures and AuditRedactionFailure

TemplateService.ReconcileDescendantsAsync - run after every base member
add/update/delete, template and native-alarm-source alike - loaded the whole
tracked template graph (every template, member and script body) on each call,
which after #66 was the dominant cost of those paths. It now calls the new
ITemplateEngineRepository.GetTemplateReconcileClosureAsync: the same tracked,
fully-included shape as GetAllTemplatesAsync, restricted to the edited
template's derived subtree plus its own inheritance chain. The reconcile is
inheritance-only (TemplateInheritanceResolver never follows compositions) and
every descendant's chain runs through the edited template, so that set is
everything it reads.
The walk (Commons TemplateReconcileClosure, the descendant-direction twin of
#66's TemplateAnalysisClosure) loads one children batch per subtree depth and
one batch per ancestor level, terminates on parent cycles and stops at
dangling parents. A template with no children - the common case - costs one
empty probe and loads nothing.
Evidence:
- TemplateReconcileClosureTests: for every template of a graph with a deep
subtree, an ancestor above the edited template, a composed module,
look-alike unrelated trees, a parent cycle and a dangling parent, the
closure-backed reconcile issues exactly the writes (add/update/delete,
audit, save) of the old whole-graph reconcile, and the resolver answers
identically for every descendant. Fails with the old service (whole-graph
load wired to throw) and with the ancestor walk removed (mutation-checked).
- TemplateReconcileClosureRepositoryTests (SQLite, recorded SQL): 5 templates
/ 10 attributes instead of 47 / 94, tracked with script bodies; a leaf costs
one probe query and tracks nothing.
- TemplateServiceTests: attribute add + update propagate two levels down with
GetAllTemplatesAsync wired to throw; existing propagation tests now run
against the closure via ServeReconcileClosureFromFullGraph.
ResyncInheritedMembersAsync (operator action) still reads the whole graph.

SiteAuditBacklogSnapshot gains an optional trailing RejectedCount (gauge of
Rejected forward-state rows, read from the site store), carried on the wire as
SiteAuditBacklogSnapshotDto.rejected_count = 4 (additive; old sites read as 0,
old central ignores it). Health page shows an 'Audit rows rejected' badge.

ScriptCallResult and RouteToCallResponse gain trailing Truncated/LogsTruncated,
filled from the site FlowTraceCollector after Complete(); RouteToCallResponseDto
fields 8/9 carry them (sitecommand regen). FlowDebugRunner ORs them into
FlowDebugRunResult on the script entry, and on the method entry through a new
optional truncation sink on RouteHelper.WithTraceSink (carried through every
With* clone). Previously a site run whose collector dropped rows came back as a
silently short list. Older sites send false.

Central's Debug View live stream and Alarm Summary cache always saw false
because neither wire message had the field. Additive proto fields, vendored
C# regenerated with docker/regen-proto.sh (sitestream + sitecommand), mapped
both ways in StreamRelayActor/SiteStreamGrpcClient and SiteCommandDtoMapper.
The live stream publishes Alarm Actor events, which never carried the flag,
so InstanceActor.HandleAlarmStateChanged now stamps it before retaining and
publishing. A pre-#60 site sends the proto3 default. No UI badge yet.

Each cached client records when it was last handed out; a periodic sweep (half of the new
CommunicationOptions.GrpcClientIdleTtl, default 30 min, 0 disables) disposes and removes entries
unused for the TTL that have no live subscription (SiteStreamGrpcClient.ActiveSubscriptionCount).
Lookup and the sweep's check-and-remove share one lock so a handed-out client is never disposed
under its caller; an evicted client is re-created on next GetOrCreate.
Codec-encoded scalars ("True", "42.5") reached RealOpcUaClient.WriteValuesAsync
as strings and were sent as String Variants, so a Boolean/Double node answered
BadTypeMismatch (0x80740000).
RealOpcUaClient now reads each written node's DataType attribute once per
session (batched, cached, cleared on connect/disconnect; derived types and
enumerations resolved via the supertype chain) and converts non-null scalar
values with the new OpcUaWriteCoercion table: Boolean, SByte..UInt64, Float,
Double, String, DateTime, Guid, all culture-invariant. Overflow, fractional
values to integer types and unparseable strings are refused client-side with
BadTypeMismatch and a message naming the value and target type - never a
rounded value. Arrays, null, unmapped types and nodes whose DataType read
fails pass through unchanged. WriteValueAsync now surfaces the outcome's own
status code instead of always BadNodeIdUnknown. MxGateway path untouched.
Tests: OpcUaWriteCoercionTests (coercion table incl. overflow, invalid and
culture-sensitive strings) and OpcUaWriteCoercionLiveTests (RequiresOpcUa:
String writes to Double/Boolean/UInt32 opc-plc nodes read back typed; reverting
the coercion reproduces 0x80740000). Component-DataConnectionLayer.md updated.
DeploySiteAsync's body moves into a private core taking the site plus an
optional area-id filter; site deploy behaviour is unchanged. The subtree is
one in-memory ParentAreaId walk (cycle-safe) shared by the deploy and the
preview. DeploymentService gains an ITemplateEngineRepository dependency for
the area lookups.
