Tasks 2 + 5a-writer + 5b of the LocalDb Phase 1 plan, landed together because
they are one indivisible change: the schema, the writer that fills it, and every
consumer that assumed the old id semantics.
WHY the id changes. Site pairs will replicate site_events with last-writer-wins on
the primary key. With INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT both nodes independently
mint 1, 2, 3... for unrelated events, so sync would treat them as the same row and
silently overwrite. A GUID makes the event log a pure union across the pair.
Task 2 - schema extracted so the Host's AddZbLocalDb onReady can create the tables
before RegisterReplicated installs capture triggers (pre-registration rows are
never captured):
- new OperationTrackingSchema.Apply / SiteEventLogSchema.Apply, plain
Microsoft.Data.Sqlite, no LocalDb dependency
- both stores delegate their InitializeSchema to them (idempotent, so a
directly-constructed store still works)
- OperationTracking is unchanged - it already had a TEXT PK and replicates as-is
Task 5a - SiteEventLogger mints Guid.NewGuid("N") per event and inserts it.
Task 5b - three consumers assumed a monotonic integer id. All three move to
timestamp ordering; leaving any one behind would be a live bug:
- EventLogQueryService: "id > $afterId" would return an ARBITRARY subset of a
GUID-keyed table and SILENTLY DROP ROWS from page-through. Now a composite
(timestamp, id) keyset cursor with an opaque string token; timestamps are not
unique, so id is the tie-break that guarantees exactly-once paging.
- EventLogPurgeService: "ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 1000" would delete a RANDOM batch
instead of the oldest. Now orders by timestamp.
- EventLogEntry.Id and both ContinuationTokens: long -> string.
WIRE COMPATIBILITY. Those DTOs cross the site<->central Akka boundary
(SiteCommunicationActor -> CommunicationService -> ManagementActor / CentralUI).
No rolling-upgrade shim is needed because both sides ship in the same deployable
and the rig redeploys as a unit. Checked: no Akka serializer binding pins these
types by name. A stale numeric token degrades to "start from the beginning"
(a visible repeat) rather than throwing or losing rows.
Tests: the two that encoded the old semantics were rewritten to guard the new
invariant rather than deleted - uniqueness instead of monotonicity, and
oldest-purged-first keyed on timestamp. That second test also exposed a latent
weakness: the bulk seed stamped every row with the same UtcNow, so "oldest" was
never actually well-defined; rows now get distinct increasing timestamps, kept
inside the retention window so the retention purge does not eat them first.
Verified:
dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.slnx -> 0 Error(s), 0 Warning(s)
SiteEventLogging.Tests -> 70 passed (12 new schema tests, red-first)
CentralUI.Tests -> 925 passed
Commons.Tests -> 684 passed
SiteRuntime.Tests -> 529 passed, 1 pre-existing flaky failure
(InstanceActorChildAttributeRaceTests - passes 3/3 in
isolation with and without this change)

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.
Resolve all 622 issues flagged by the enhanced CommentChecker: add missing
<returns> tags (incl. the standard phrasing on non-generic Task methods),
add missing <summary> tags, and replace misused/redundant <inheritdoc/> on
members that override or implement nothing with real documentation.
Documentation-only — no behavior change; solution builds clean.
