WithSiteCredentials always composed the per-site PSK over
ChannelCredentials.Insecure. Grpc.Net.Client refuses that on an https
address ("insecure channel credentials and can't use a HttpClient with a
'https' scheme"), so every https control-plane endpoint threw at channel
construction - in SitePairChannelProvider the throw was caught and the
site address logged as malformed, i.e. a TLS site was silently
undialable. The old comment claiming TLS needed no change here was wrong.
WithSiteCredentials now takes the endpoint: https composes over
ChannelCredentials.SecureSsl (PSK retained inside TLS, no insecure
opt-in); anything else, including callers that omit it, keeps the
previous composition unchanged. SitePairChannelProvider,
SiteStreamGrpcClient and CentralChannelProvider pass their endpoint. The
three AuditLog pull clients are deliberately left for after #42.
Tests: real Kestrel HTTP/2-over-TLS (ALPN) with the real
ControlPlaneAuthInterceptor - correct PSK accepted, wrong PSK still
PermissionDenied, untrusted server cert fails with an
AuthenticationException cause, the pre-fix composition throws on https,
http composition unchanged; plus each production builder accepts https
(mutation check: disabling the TLS branch turns those red).

ScadaBridge:Cluster:RemotingTls (ClusterRemotingTlsOptions) renders
akka.remote.dot-netty.tcp enable-ssl + ssl { certificate, mutual auth,
hostname validation } only when Enabled. Chain validation is always on
(no suppress-validation switch). Certificate is a .pfx path + password
(${secret:} reference) or an OS-store thumbprint.
ClusterOptionsValidator, TLS on only: exactly one certificate source, a
legal store location, and akka.ssl.tcp:// on every seed - Akka.Remote
advertises akka.ssl.tcp addresses once SSL is on, so an akka.tcp seed is
never answered and the join retries forever with no startup error.
ClusterBootstrapGuard.SeedPattern accepted only one scheme segment, so
akka.ssl.tcp seeds parsed as nothing and the guard would silently never
engage on a TLS pair; it now accepts any number.
Default HOCON is byte-identical: 12 rendered documents (3 downing
strategies x guard on/off x Central/Site) captured before the change and
diffed after, all identical; a permanent test pins that a disabled block
with every field set renders the default document. A real ActorSystem
booted on the emitted TLS document comes up as akka.ssl.tcp (mutation
check: forcing enable-ssl=false turns it red).

Adds LeaderAutoDowningProvider (Host/Actors), a line-for-line port of Akka.NET
1.5.62 AutoDowning/AutoDown/AutoDownBase read from the decompiled assembly: the
leader among the reachable members downs a peer unreachable for StableAfter; a
non-leader records it as pending and downs it on becoming leader; reachable-again
or removed members are forgotten; Down/Exiting members are skipped. Its window is
carried under scadabridge.cluster.leader-auto-down.unreachable-after, so no
deprecated auto-down-unreachable-after key is emitted and Akka's boot-time
"keep-majority will be used instead" warning goes away. DownRemovalMargin reads
akka.cluster.down-removal-margin exactly as AutoDowning does (default off).
New SplitBrainResolverStrategy value "leader-auto-down", wired through BuildHocon
and ClusterOptionsValidator. The default stays "auto-down"; auto-down and
keep-oldest HOCON is byte-identical to before. Placed in Host, not
ClusterInfrastructure, per the Code Placement rule (ClusterInfrastructure stays
Akka-free).
Tests: HOCON + validator units; LeaderAutoDownTests ports Akka's AutoDownSpec
cases (leader-only, pending-on-leader-change, losing leadership, reachable again,
removed, Down/Exiting skipped, single Down per member); LeaderAutoDownFailoverTests
clones SbrFailoverTests' oldest-crash and younger-crash cases on a real two-node
cluster plus a test that Akka actually loaded the provider and its downing actor.
Mutation-checked: a provider that never calls Cluster.Down fails both failover
tests; never-downs, leader-check-dropped, reachable-ignored and pending-not-flushed
mutations each fail the unit tests.
Remaining gate before switching the default: the docker failover drill
(DRILL_MODE=active and standby mode) on leader-auto-down.

(a) Inbound API compile state (#75) is per central node: a recompile cleared the
known-bad record only on the node that answered, and the peer kept refusing the
unchanged script with SCRIPT_COMPILE_FAILED (the per-request revision check only
notices a changed script). Create / update / delete (ManagementActor post-commit),
RecompileApiMethod, and API methods written by a Transport bundle import now publish
InboundApiMethodInvalidated on the central cache-invalidation topic (#100 item 3).
The new InboundApiCacheInvalidationHandler drops that method's compiled handler,
known-bad record and cached ApiMethod row on the peer, which compiles the current
text on its next request.
(b) docs/components/InboundAPI.md no longer claims a direct DB edit stays stale
until restart: the per-request revision check picks it up once the node's cached
row expires (ApiMethodCacheTtl, 5 s). Component-InboundAPI, Component-Host and the
#85 cache audit describe the peer invalidation.
(c) Decision: the import's locked-override warnings keep EXACT (ordinal) name
matching, because FlatteningService matches override names ordinally. An override
differing from a locked member only by case never reaches that member's lock check
(the flattener drops it as unresolved), so a "targets a LOCKED member" warning for it
would be false. The comparer is now named (LockedOverrideNameComparer) and documented,
and pinned by tests on both sides (flattener + import).
Tests: the peer's known-bad record is cleared by a recompile (and validate leaves it
alone); create/update/delete and the import publish the invalidation; the handler
drops only the named method; composition root registers the handler; case-only
override gets no lock warning; the flattener matches override names exactly.

The #96 site-psk-invalidation topic was the first cross-node invalidation broadcast.
It is generalised into ONE central DistributedPubSub topic, central-cache-invalidation,
carrying typed messages (Commons ICentralCacheInvalidation: SitePskInvalidated,
RoleMappingsInvalidated, ExternalDefinitionsInvalidated, InboundApiMethodInvalidated)
in an envelope stamped with the publisher's process-unique origin id.
- Host: CentralCacheInvalidationBus (ICentralCacheInvalidationPublisher, no-op until
the mediator is set, never throws) and CentralCacheInvalidationSubscriber, which
skips its own node's envelopes and hands the peer's to every registered
ICentralCacheInvalidationHandler (a failing handler does not stop the rest).
Replaces SitePskInvalidationSubscriber.
- Migration of #96: SitePskRotationInvalidator publishes through the bus and is the
PSK handler; SitePskInvalidated keeps its type name and is also published bare on
site-psk-invalidation, which the subscriber still listens to, so a mixed-version
central pair keeps exchanging PSK invalidations. Remove after one release.
- Audit D1: RoleMappingCache is a handler; ManagementActor's post-commit role-mapping
invalidation also publishes RoleMappingsInvalidated, so a revocation is immediate on
the peer instead of after RoleMappingCacheSeconds.
- Audit D3 / #83 (peer half): ExternalDefinitionLookupCache is a handler; the 9
ManagementActor handlers and the Transport bundle importer publish
ExternalDefinitionsInvalidated after commit. (#83's local import half was already in.)
TTLs remain the fallback for a lost broadcast or a direct SQL edit. Tests: bus and
subscriber unit tests (origin filter, legacy topic), peer-node tests through the real
caches in ManagementService.Tests, importer publish, composition root, and a real
two-node cluster from the production HOCON (CentralCacheInvalidationTwoNodeTests)
proving every message type crosses with the production serializer. Docs: Host,
Communication, Security, ManagementService, ESG, and the #85 cache audit.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GT67AEHd2Acv1YPwGfXEoV
SitePskProvider cached each site's gRPC preshared key forever; only site removal
invalidated it, so rotating SB-GRPC-PSK-{site} broke the central<->site link on
both central nodes until they restarted. The cached key is now dropped when:
- the secret is written through /admin/secrets: central replaces the secrets
library's ISecretCacheInvalidator with SitePskRotationInvalidator, which also
publishes SitePskInvalidated on a new DistributedPubSub topic
(site-psk-invalidation) so the peer central node drops its copy and its
resolver cache entry too (SitePskInvalidationSubscriber);
- a site rejects a central->site call with PermissionDenied/Unauthenticated:
WithSiteCredentials wraps every per-site channel's handler in
PskRejectionRefreshHandler, so the next call re-reads the key (covers
out-of-process writes such as the secret CLI);
- a site->central call presents a token that does not match the cached key:
CentralControlAuthInterceptor invalidates and re-reads once before refusing;
- ScadaBridge:Communication:SitePsks reloads.
Invalidation is case-insensitive because SecretName lowercases names. Rotation
runbook (topology-guide), Component-Communication/Host and the #85 cache audit
(D2) updated.

The site script and alarm on-trigger launchers push the run identity onto LogContext for the
run's lifetime and the host now enables Enrich.FromLogContext(), so log lines written on the
run's own async call chain carry the id. Bounded part only: LogContext does not cross an Akka
message hop, so Instance Actor/DCL/S&F lines and a site_events execution-id column remain open
(documented in the step-logs design doc section 9).

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.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GT67AEHd2Acv1YPwGfXEoV
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.

Interface now lives in Commons.Interfaces.Services; AuditLog no longer gets it
transitively through Communication. Implementation stays in HealthMonitoring.

SiteScriptCompileCache now records each eviction sweep on scadabridge.site.script_compile_cache.evictions
(ScadaBridgeTelemetry). It rides the existing ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge meter, which is already in
SiteServiceRegistration.ObservedMeters, so no new allowlist entry is needed; a Host test pins that
the meter stays allowlisted.
An OperationCanceledException escaping RunAsync after ApplicationStopping has fired
(WindowsServiceLifetime.StopAsync gets a cancelled token after shutdown finished) is a
normal stop. Program.IsGracefulShutdown now routes it to an Information line; any other
exception, or a cancellation with no shutdown requested, still logs Fatal and rethrows.
- ManagementAuthenticator accepts Authorization: Bearer <jwt> alongside Basic on
/management, the audit REST endpoints and the debug-stream hub. Tokens are
validated locally (HS256 only, alg=none rejected, issuer/audience, lifetime with
30 s skew); roles and site scope inside a valid token are authoritative for its
lifetime, so a bearer call costs no LDAP bind and no role re-map.
- /auth/token returns expires_in + management_bearer:true, carries username, display
name, roles and permitted sites, and answers 404 under DisableLogin.
- CLI exchanges credentials once per process (in-memory CliTokenStore), sends Bearer,
re-exchanges once on 401 then falls back to Basic; older/login-disabled servers are
Basic-only; bad credentials are not retried with Basic. Debug stream uses the token
via AccessTokenProvider. SCADABRIDGE_AUTH_MODE=basic opts out.
- StartupValidator fails a Central boot on a JwtSigningKey under 32 UTF-8 bytes;
fixed the false 'fail-fast at construction' comment. Removed the dead
RefreshToken/RecordActivity/ShouldRefresh/IsIdleTimedOut members and the inert
JwtRefreshThresholdMinutes; JwtExpiryMinutes now documented as the bearer lifetime
(validated > 0).
- RoleMapper reads through a process-wide RoleMappingCache (RoleMappingCacheSeconds,
default 30 s): one refresh loads the table plus every Deployer mapping's scope
rules, Invalidate() drops it (generation-guarded against in-flight refreshes).
- Component-Security.md / Component-CLI.md / CLI README describe the real model
(cookie claims ticket, bearer for CLI) instead of a cookie-embedded JWT.
Comment/XML-doc changes only:
- add summaries to ~10k test methods, fixtures, fakes and helpers
(+ <param> on theories, <returns> on async Task methods,
<inheritdoc/> on interface implementations the checker can resolve)
- strip ~2.6k project-tracking references (WP*, P*-*, row-NN, Task N,
#NN, Component-0NN) from comments, keeping the explanatory text;
reword false positives in comments only
- real docs on fakes implementing BCL/library interfaces
(IDisposable, ILogger, IOptionsMonitor, IAsyncLifetime)
- reword the last 5 src/ false positives (CWE-1236, failures-1,
year-0001, M365)
Only non-comment edits: four one-line nested classes split across lines
so members can carry docs. Build 0 errors / 0 warnings.
A DeployedSecretsMirror failure on the STANDBY node (e.g. a master-key mismatch
that stops a deployed secret decrypting there) was only logged on that node:
site health reports are sent by the active node only, so central never saw it.
- New 12th LocalDb-replicated table secret_mirror_status (node_name PK,
failures_json of {SecretName, Message}, checked_at; no FKs). Each node's
mirror writes only its own row, and only when its failure set changes plus
once per start-up (every write replicates via CDC). Best-effort: a failed
write is a Warning and is retried next pass. Node key = INodeIdentityProvider
NodeName, falling back to the machine name.
- SecretMirrorStatusReporter (SiteRuntime, every node, 30 s) reads every row
into ISiteHealthCollector.SetSecretMirrorStatuses -> additive nullable
SiteHealthReport.SecretMirrorStatuses (null = no data).
- Wire: SiteHealthReportDto.secret_mirror_statuses = 33 (presence wrapper so
null != empty); vendored CentralControl.cs regenerated; mapper both ways.
- Central UI Health card: 'Secret mirror failing' badge + compact per-node
node / secret / message list.
- Tests: mirror status write-on-change/first-pass/failure isolation, storage
round-trip, reporter/collector, DTO mapper round-trip incl. null/empty,
bUnit, replicated-table set (twelve) + FK guard wording.
- SecretsRegistration: UsesCentralSharedStore predicate shared by AddScadaBridgeSecrets and the
new AddPreHostExpander, so a Central node's Layer-A ${secret:} expander composes against the
shared SQL store whenever Secrets:Store:Provider=SqlServer does — closing the gap where a
central migrated off the retired Grpc topology would boot-time-resolve config from per-node
SQLite while serving the shared store.
- Program.cs: expander block now calls AddPreHostExpander + resolves the store-agnostic
ISecretsStoreMigrator seam; stale Grpc-hub/replication comment rewritten.
- DeployedSecretsMirror.cs: stale "gRPC-hub follower half" doc comment rewritten to state the
now-permanent local-SQLite-only invariant.
- StartupValidator: Secrets:Replication:Enabled read as a raw string (any non-empty, non-"false"
value rejected) instead of GetValue<bool>, which threw a raw binder crash on "yes"/"1"; added a
CollectWarnings entry for leftover Secrets:Replication/Secrets:GrpcHub child keys once Enabled
is false/unset.
- Tests: +15 (AddPreHostExpander/UsesCentralSharedStore wiring, Replication:Enabled edge values,
leftover-key warnings). Full solution build and full Host.Tests green (593/593).
Second slice of the 2026-09-09 whole-system review remediation

Gates recorded in the report: build 0/0, 9 397 passed / 0 failed, rig redeployed on all
eight nodes with the migration applied. 46 Low findings remain open.
Row 104: docker/vacuum-site-localdb.sh stops both nodes of a pair together, sets
auto_vacuum=INCREMENTAL + VACUUM on each node volume with integrity_check before/after,
then starts both (DRY_RUN=1 reports). Run on all three rig pairs: six files 0 -> 2, ok,
~11% smaller; site-a replication reconnected with backlog 0 and no watermark change —
VACUUM is replication-invisible (ledger keys by declared PK, oplog seq is INTEGER PRIMARY
KEY AUTOINCREMENT). Topology guide gains the recipe.
Row 105: SiteLocalDbReplicatedTableFkGuardTests builds the real site schema via OnReady
(unreplicated config so 0.3.3's own guard cannot mask the culprit) and asserts every
SiteLocalDbSetup.ReplicatedTables entry (now internal) exists and has no inbound
CASCADE/SET NULL/SET DEFAULT foreign key, with a negative control. The constraint is
enforced at build instead of at the first replicated boot.
Row 106 (found during 104's live verification, NOT caused by it — the identical 127k-row
full snapshot also landed at the earlier deploy restart): SnapshotStreamer.SendAsync stamps
as_of_seq = MAX(seq), which is 0 once a converged sender's oplog is ack-pruned to empty;
a zero-watermark receiver (rebuilt node) is never lifted, so the empty-oplog horizon rule
re-streams a full snapshot on every reconnect. Sender-side one-line fix for LocalDb 0.3.4:
as_of_seq = max(MAX(seq), last_acked_seq).
P8-8: replace the remaining wall-clock sleep-then-assert instances outside
Communication.Tests' Medium-wave sweep with the same row-40 house pattern —
continuous polling (AssertHoldsFor) for ABSENCE assertions instead of a single
end-of-window sample, which cannot distinguish "stayed quiet throughout" from
"hadn't happened yet when the one sample landed" and cannot catch a value that
flips wrong and back before that sample.
- DataConnectionActorBatchTests: QualityCounters_ArePushedOnTransitionOnly_AndCoalesced
(:206/:214 class) converted to AssertHoldsFor; ResolutionProbes_BackOff...
(:181/:184, a genuine real-time backoff-RATE assertion, not a sync-primitive
stand-in) converted to AssertRoundsWithinWindow, which enforces the ceiling
continuously (fails fast on a no-backoff regression) while the floor still
necessarily waits out the window.
- SiteAlarmLiveCacheServiceTests (:452-454, :470-472): converted to the
project's own AssertHoldsFor (mirrors SiteAlarmAggregatorActorTests', same
assembly).
- StoreAndForwardServiceTests (:891-892): async AssertHoldsForAsync variant
(the class runs on the async test thread).
- KpiHistoryRecorderActorTests (:1043-1049): two skip-path FoldCount==0
absence checks converted.
Each helper is a private per-file copy, matching the Medium-wave T17
precedent (SiteAlarmAggregatorActorTests.AssertHoldsFor) rather than a shared
TestSupport utility. Proof of the mechanism: a standalone (non-repo) harness
run 100 trials of a real background thread flipping a boolean true then back
to false inside a 300ms window — Thread.Sleep(300)+one sample missed the
violation 100/100 times (false pass), continuous 20ms polling caught it
100/100 times. Most of the actual conversions here guard monotonic counters
(their single-sample variant would eventually see the final value too), so
each converted test carries an inline honesty note on what specifically the
conversion buys for that assertion (fail-fast vs. true flip-back detection).
P8-9: ScadaBridgeTelemetryTests.EmitHelpers_DoNotThrow called
SetQueueDepthProvider(() => 5) against the process-global row-32 provider
slot with no clear and no [Collection] — a landmine for any future
same-process reader of scadabridge.store_and_forward.queue.depth. Fixed with
compare-and-clear in a finally via the existing (production, untouched)
ClearQueueDepthProvider. Searched this assembly and the whole test tree for a
second same-process reader that asserts on the value: none exists today
(MetricsEndpointTests scrapes /metrics but only asserts on the response
shape, and the only value-asserting test, QueueDepthGaugeTests, lives in
StoreAndForward.Tests — a separate test-host process the leak cannot reach),
so no [Collection] was added; the test's doc comment records the search and
flags it for re-check if that changes.
Test-only change, zero production edits. Full suites green: DCL.Tests
342/342, Communication.Tests 729/729, StoreAndForward.Tests 135/135,
KpiHistory.Tests 54/54, Host.Tests 522/522. Each converted test additionally
looped 20x in isolation with zero flakes.
Defect: the hourly KPI rollup fold (KpiHistoryRepository.FoldHourlyRollupsAsync)
sums every Rate-classified sample recorded in an hour, correct only if each
sample is a non-overlapping delta covering exactly one recorder tick
(KpiHistoryOptions.SampleInterval). That invariant was an unenforced silent
assumption across three independently-owned config keys — SampleInterval,
NotificationOutboxOptions.DeliveredKpiWindow, SiteCallAuditOptions.KpiInterval —
so widening DeliveredKpiWindow to e.g. 15 min would silently over-count the
rollup ~15x.
Robust fix: NotificationOutboxKpiSampleSource and SiteCallAuditKpiSampleSource
now rescale their Rate-classified samples (deliveredLastInterval,
failedLastInterval) by SampleInterval / (DeliveredKpiWindow or KpiInterval)
before recording, so the rollup's per-hour Sum is correct regardless of how
the other two keys are tuned — the live dashboard tile's own cutoff/window is
untouched. Both sources gain a project reference to KpiHistory to read
SampleInterval; no cycle (KpiHistory references only Commons).
Eager cross-validation (defense-in-depth): KpiRateFoldIntervalCrossValidator
(Host, the one composition root referencing all three component projects)
fails boot naming all three config keys when they diverge, protecting the
separate (still-real) invariant that the recorded/charted KPI-history sample
equals the live tile at the same instant — which the rescale trades away
whenever the scale factor isn't 1. Rides KpiHistoryOptions' existing
ValidateOnStart trigger.
Also: NotificationOutboxOptions had no registered validator at all before this
(the gap this task's "whichever options class owns DeliveredKpiWindow" file
scope pointed at) — added NotificationOutboxOptionsValidator mirroring
SiteCallAuditOptionsValidator's positive-duration/count convention, wired with
ValidateOnStart.
Tests: new rescale tests in both sample-source suites prove the fold is
numerically correct at a non-default SampleInterval (30/40 counted over a
15/20-minute window correctly divides down to a 1-minute-tick delta); new
KpiRateFoldIntervalCrossValidatorTests prove divergent config fails with all
three keys named; new NotificationOutboxOptionsValidatorTests. Every new test
proven to fail against the unfixed computation first (temporarily
short-circuited the scale factor / cross-check to the pre-fix behavior,
confirmed failure, restored) — not via git stash (repo-wide, shared across
concurrent worktrees this session) but via file-copy swap.
Full suites green: Host.Tests (527), ConfigurationDatabase.Tests (401),
KpiHistory.Tests (54), NotificationOutbox.Tests (163),
SiteCallAudit.Tests (67).
P4-5: EventLogPurgeService.ExecuteAsync now yields (Task.Yield()) before running the
initial RunPurge(), making "the purge never runs synchronously on the caller's thread"
a property of the method itself rather than an artifact of .NET 8+'s BackgroundService
scheduling (verified empirically not to reproduce the literal "StartAsync blocks" symptom
on this repo's net10.0 target — a 1.5s synchronous Thread.Sleep in ExecuteAsync still lets
StartAsync return in ~2ms). Proven instead via a reflection-invoked ExecuteAsync test that
bypasses BackgroundService's Task.Run wrapper, which is timing-independent. Also: a
throwing isActive predicate now fails CLOSED (logged as inactive, at Warning) instead of
silently claiming "active" — the predicate only affects the tick's log line since P4-4,
but a throw must not masquerade as a successful check.
P4-6: PRAGMA auto_vacuum = INCREMENTAL only takes effect on a table-less database, and
LocalDbSchema.EnsureCreated (inside SqliteLocalDb's constructor) always creates LocalDb's
own bookkeeping tables before SiteEventLogSchema.Apply ever gets a connection — so the
pragma there had never once taken effect, in any real call path. Real fix per plan
decision 2: SiteLocalDbSetup.EnsureAutoVacuumOnFreshFile pre-creates a genuinely fresh
LocalDb file with the pragma set, called from SiteServiceRegistration.Configure BEFORE
AddZbLocalDb's lazy singleton ever constructs SqliteLocalDb — no LocalDb API change
needed. Only helps NEW site databases; an existing file (every node on the docker rig
today) is left untouched rather than VACUUM'd, per the plan's explicit rejection of an
unconditional VACUUM against a live ~1 GB file. The now-dead pragma call in
SiteEventLogSchema.Apply is removed and its comment corrected.
Tests proven to fail against the unfixed code (git-diff-and-restore, not stash — this repo
shares one stash ref across all worktrees): ExecuteAsync_YieldsBeforeRunningTheInitial-
PurgeSynchronously and RunPurge_ActiveNodeCheckThrows_TickLogsAsInactive_NotActive fail
without the EventLogPurgeService fix; SiteLocalDbAutoVacuumTests fails to compile without
EnsureAutoVacuumOnFreshFile. SiteEventLogging.Tests 112/112 and Host.Tests 526/526 green
with the fix applied.
P4-2: SqliteAuditWriter.FlushBatch completed each pending row's Task
(TrySetResult) inside the per-row insert loop, before transaction.Commit()
ran. A later failure in the same batch (another row's insert throwing, or
the commit itself failing) rolled the whole transaction back, but the
earlier rows' Tasks had already completed successfully -- the caller and
FallbackAuditWriter (whose ring-buffer fallback exists precisely for this
outage) both saw false success while the rows were actually gone from the
database; the outer catch's TrySetException became a silent no-op against
an already-completed TaskCompletionSource. Every row's Completion is now
deferred and only resolved (TrySetResult for the whole batch, or
TrySetException for the whole batch) after transaction.Commit() succeeds
or the transaction rolls back, mirroring SiteEventLogger.FlushBatch.
P4-4: EventLogPurgeService gated the daily site_events purge on the
active-node check, early-exiting on the standby, on the stale premise that
"the standby receives no writes". DataConnectionActor runs on both site
nodes and writes site_events regardless of active/standby status (register
rows 89/90/97), so an unreplicated standby (the rig's site-b/site-c
posture) grew its site_events file forever with no retention and no cap.
The gate is removed; every node now purges its own file every tick. Safe
on a replicated pair because the retention/cap deletes are CDC-captured
and converge under LWW regardless of which node issues them; required on
an unreplicated pair because each node's file is independent. The
active-node check is retained only to annotate the purge tick's log line.
Tests: new SqliteAuditWriterCommitFailureTests forces a genuine
non-swallowed mid-batch INSERT failure via a real SQLite trigger + custom
scalar function on the writer's own connection (reflection seam), proving
(a) a row whose own insert succeeded still faults when a later row in the
same batch fails, and (b) FallbackAuditWriter rings every faulted row and
increments the failure counter for each -- both assertions fail against
the pre-fix code (proof-of-failure verified by temporarily reverting the
fix). EventLogPurgeServiceTests' standby case is inverted to assert the
purge now runs (not skips) on a standby node.
maxParallelThreads was unset everywhere and only 3 of ~20 test projects carried
an xunit.runner.json at all, so xunit ran Environment.ProcessorCount collections
at once (14 on the dev box) in every suite. That is the general load multiplier
behind the row-82/91/95 flake family.
Policy: per-suite caps, NOT a global one. Pure unit suites stay uncapped for
speed; a suite gets a config only when a test CLASS costs a real external or
OS-level resource, so ProcessorCount of them at once is a resource question
rather than a CPU question. Four suites qualify, all capped at
maxParallelThreads: 4.
- ConfigurationDatabase.Tests, AuditLog.Tests, SiteCallAudit.Tests — verified as
the three that actually take MsSqlMigrationFixture (the latter two by project
reference). Every MSSQL-backed test class means a CREATE DATABASE plus the
~100-migration chain against the one shared dev SQL Server. 4 is chosen to
MATCH the default slot count of row 82's cross-process sp_getapplock migrate
semaphore, so the in-process and cross-process limits agree rather than
fighting.
- Host.Tests — classes boot real ASP.NET Core hosts and real ActorSystems;
Akka.Remote binds real sockets, Kestrel binds real ports, gRPC dials them.
Threads are capped, collections are NOT serialized. IntegrationTests
(parallelizeAssembly/parallelizeTestCollections false) and
CentralUI.PlaywrightTests (maxParallelThreads 1) already carry stricter
pre-existing settings and are left alone — the Playwright suite drives a browser
against a live rig, where shared UI state, not CPU, is the constraint.
Each capped csproj gains
<Content Include="xunit.runner.json" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" />;
the SDK does not copy it automatically and without it the file is silently
ignored. Verified by moving the copied file out of bin/ to take an uncapped
baseline: ConfigurationDatabase.Tests ran at 216 % CPU uncapped vs 145 % capped,
so the cap demonstrably takes effect.
Cost is close to nil — these suites are latency-bound on an external resource,
not CPU-bound (14-25 % utilisation for the two slowest). Standalone, uncapped ->
capped: AuditLog 383 tests 1m52s -> 1m51s; Host 520 tests 4m05s -> 4m08s;
ConfigurationDatabase 396 tests 10s -> 12s; SiteCallAudit 66 tests 8s -> 8s. All
green.
docs/test_infra/test_infra.md gains a Test Parallelism Policy section: the two
axes (in-process collection threads = this cap; cross-process solution-level
dotnet test = unbounded in general, bounded on the DB-migration path by the
sp_getapplock semaphore), the per-suite table with reasons, the rules (cap
threads rather than serialize; a cap is not a substitute for test isolation; the
Content copy is required), and the default for new projects (no config until the
project acquires a per-class external resource). test_infra_db.md cross-links it
from the semaphore bullet.
A healthy standby logged "Health check active-node with status Unhealthy …
'not the site pair primary (standby)'" at Error on every probe — every 10s on a
site node, and (discovered while fixing this) every 5s on a central standby,
which Traefik health-probes at that cadence. Correct-by-design state at an
alarming severity: it floods the log and trains operators to ignore ERR.
Mechanism: DefaultHealthCheckService logs one line per check per probe and picks
the level from the verdict — Debug/Warning/Error for Healthy/Degraded/Unhealthy.
Both active-node checks answer Unhealthy on the standby because 503 IS the
contract /health/active publishes. There is no IHealthCheckPublisher in this
repo, so each line is one inbound HTTP probe.
Fix: one Serilog exclusion filter in LoggerConfigurationFactory. A level
override could not work — Serilog's MinimumLevel.Override only RAISES a
per-source floor, and a LogEvent's Level is immutable, so neither an override
nor an enricher can rewrite Error as Information. Changing the check to report
Degraded was rejected: it would alter the HTTP status that /health/active
publishes, which is load-bearing for Traefik and the family dashboard.
The constraint (genuine failures must still log at Error) is preserved by keying
the predicate on the check NAME rather than the logger category: localdb,
akka-cluster, database and required-singletons keep their Error lines, and the
active-node check has no error path of its own — the active node always answers
Healthy — so the only event this can ever suppress is a standby reporting that
it is a standby. The verdict stays fully observable via /health/active's own
HTTP status, the readiness probe's cluster view, and the health dashboard.
Also corrects a stale CLAUDE.md claim found while verifying what consumes this
check: "/health/active is central-only (site nodes map no /health/* at all)" is
wrong — SiteServiceRegistration registers akka-cluster + localdb + the
role-scoped SitePairActiveNodeHealthCheck, and Program.cs's Site branch calls
MapZbHealth() on the HTTP/1.1 listener.
Fail-before evidence: with the filter behaviourally disabled,
StandbyActiveNodeVerdict_IsNotLogged fails "Collection was not empty" while the
other 9 tests in the file — the must-still-log constraints — pass either way,
which is what proves the filter is narrow rather than a blanket suppression.
Tests: Host 518 green (10 new).
ROW 80 (observability correctness). An unreplicated site published
LocalDbReplicationConnected=false / LocalDbOplogBacklog=0, contradicting the
nullable semantics every doc and the proto already state ("null means no
reading, NOT disconnected with an empty backlog").
Root cause: the replication engine is registered unconditionally and idles
without a peer, so ISyncStatus answers false/0 on a node that was never meant to
replicate, and LocalDbReplicationStatusReporter passed that straight through.
Two consequences: an operator read connected:false on a healthy site as a fault,
and central's null branches — row 33's conditional KPI emission and
sustained-badge anchor exclusion — never received the null they exist for, so
rig site-b/site-c emitted a permanently misleading
localDbReplicationConnected=0 series.
Fix mirrors the SiteEventLogReplicationCheck precedent: the Host evaluates
SiteLocalDbSetup.ReplicationIsConfigured ONCE and passes it to
AddLocalDbReplicationHealthBridge as a third provider; unconfigured
short-circuits the probe to (null, null). HealthMonitoring never reads LocalDb
config itself, and the same captured value now also feeds
SiteEventLogReplicationCheck so the two surfaces cannot disagree.
ISiteHealthCollector.SetLocalDbReplicationStatus widens to bool? — the
non-nullable bool was the type-level root cause (null was inexpressible).
false now means exactly one thing: configured, peer session down = a real fault.
Wire/central/UI needed no change: the proto already carries BoolValue/Int64Value
wrappers and the aggregator + KPI source already branch on null. This makes code
match doc, so no doc claim was weakened.
Watch the trap that caused this: configured-ness is PeerAddress OR ApiKey (only
the dialling half sets a peer address). The pre-existing SiteLocalDbWiringTests
fixture sets ApiKey and IS a replicating node, so its false/0 assertion is
correct and is kept, with a comment saying so; the new
UnreplicatedSiteLocalDbHealthTests fixture is the genuinely-unreplicated one.
ROW 73 (silent loss of self-heal). AkkaHostedService skips
SiteReconciliationActor when no IDeploymentConfigFetcher is resolvable, and that
skip was a lone boot Warning — a node with no self-heal path at all went on
reporting itself perfectly healthy forever.
Adds tri-state SiteHealthReport.StartupReconcilerActive (null = not reported,
i.e. the central self-report or a pre-row-73 site build; true = running;
false = booted without it), latched once at boot by the Host in both branches.
Additive proto field 29 (BoolValue, vendored C# regenerated via
docker/regen-proto.sh centralcontrol; csproj restored, verified empty diff).
The skip branch also raises its log to Error — no configuration makes the
fetcher legitimately absent on a site node — and writes a best-effort
deployment/Error site event so the evidence outlives the boot log.
Central treatment: a "No self-heal" WARNING badge on the site tile, not a
failure. Config still reaches the node via LocalDb replication while it is up;
what it lost is recovery from a deploy that landed while it was down — degraded,
not offline. Only the explicit false is badged (badging null would light up the
whole fleet the moment central is upgraded ahead of the sites), and offline
sites are skipped, matching the replication-backlog badge.
Fail-before evidence: with the row-80 gate behaviourally reverted,
UnreplicatedSite_HealthReport_ReportsNullForBothLocalDbFields fails
"Expected: null / Actual: False" and 3 of the 8 new reporter unit tests fail.
Tests: HealthMonitoring 128, Host 518, CentralUI 1051, Communication 717,
Commons 715, SiteEventLogging 81 — all green.
Six SiteRuntime call sites resolve ISiteEventLogger straight off the root
IServiceProvider with no scope: AlarmActor (cached in a field for the actor's
lifetime), ScriptActor (x2), InstanceActor (x2), NativeAlarmActor,
DeploymentManagerActor, and Scripts/ScriptRunLauncher. All correct today, and
correct for exactly one reason — the registration is AddSingleton, so a root
resolve yields what a scope would.
That makes the lifetime a load-bearing invariant with no enforcement anywhere.
If it ever changes, all six silently become register row 45, and nothing in the
tree notices: ValidateOnBuild walks CONSTRUCTOR graphs and these are imperative
GetService calls in method bodies; ValidateScopes would fire, but at runtime on
a site node on whichever path logs an event first, not at boot and not in CI;
CaptiveDependencyGuard catches the AlarmActor field case by design but cannot
see the five per-call resolves at all. This pin is the tripwire, and its failure
message names the six call sites that must be fixed alongside any such change.
Asserts the REGISTRATION, not the call sites — the SiteRuntime actor files are
correct as written and are untouched here.
Two facts, not one, because the interface registration is a FACTORY
(AddSingleton<ISiteEventLogger>(sp => sp.GetRequiredService<SiteEventLogger>())):
a Singleton lifetime on the interface alone does not prove callers share an
instance, since downgrading the concrete SiteEventLogger would make that
singleton factory resolve a scoped service from the root.
Fail-before, both halves, by temporarily flipping the real registration:
- AddScoped<ISiteEventLogger> -> first pin FAILS, "Actual lifetime: Scoped",
with the full row-62 pointer in the message.
- AddScoped<SiteEventLogger> (interface left Singleton) -> the first pin stays
GREEN and only the second catches it. That is the evidence the second fact
is load-bearing rather than redundant.
Registration restored; both green.
Registration-only inspection — the provider is never built, so the pin costs
~30 ms and opens no SQLite file.
Host.Tests: 507/507 green.
AuditLogIngestActor and SiteCallAuditActor each exposed constructors taking a scoped
repository and caching it on a field for the actor's lifetime. Safe only because no
production call site picked those overloads — i.e. one call site away from re-introducing
the row-45 captive-dependency bug — which is why CaptiveDependencyGuard had to allowlist
both fields.
Preferred fix applied: the test fixtures fold onto the IServiceProvider overload with a
stub provider, and the constructors are gone.
Product deletions:
- AuditLogIngestActor: the (IAuditLogRepository, ILogger) ctor, the _injectedRepository
field and its branch in OnIngestAsync, and OnCachedTelemetryWithoutDualWriteAsync (the
"this ctor cannot dual-write" fallback handler that only that ctor installed).
_serviceProvider is now non-nullable and the null-forgiving operators are gone.
- SiteCallAuditActor: both test ctors (repo-only, and repo + reconciliation
collaborators), the _injectedRepository field and its four branches, and the private
SerializedRepository class. _backgroundTimersEnabled went with them: only the deleted
repo-only ctor ever set it false, so it was a constant and its two guards are removed.
The reconciliation tick is still gated — on the collaborators being resolvable, which
is how production reaches the same state.
Test fixtures (12 call sites): two small TestSupport helpers build the stub providers.
SiteCallAuditActor's production wiring resolves a FRESH repository per scope, so the
serializing decorator existed only to protect fixtures that share one DbContext-backed
instance across every scope — it moves into the test project as
SerializingSiteCallAuditRepository, which is where the hazard is actually created.
Fixtures that relied on it keep it. The relay test's ICentralAuditWriter now arrives via
the provider, exactly as production resolves it.
Behaviour is preserved on the paths under test: the deleted audit ctor passed
redactor:null / failureCounter:null, and a provider registering neither resolves both to
null, so the SafeDefaultAuditRedactor fallback and counter-free logging are unchanged. No
fixture on the folded sites sends IngestCachedTelemetryCommand, so swapping to the real
dual-write handler is inert. The SiteCallAudit purge timer now arms in fixtures that
previously had timers off, but every one of them uses default purge settings whose first
tick is 5 minutes out — nothing fires inside a test.
One reconciliation test was renamed and rewritten rather than deleted:
TestCtor_RepositoryOnly_DoesNotStartReconciliationTick became
NoReconciliationCollaboratorsRegistered_DoesNotStartReconciliationTick — the same
guarantee, expressed the way production actually reaches it.
Guard: the allowlist is now EMPTY. The staleness self-test (every entry must still match a
flagged field) is replaced by two stronger pins — Allowlist_IsEmpty asserts nothing is
exempt at all, and FormerlyAllowlistedActors_NowScanClean scans both actors with the
allowlist DISABLED, so the empty allowlist is evidence the fields are gone rather than
evidence the scan stopped looking.
Negative control: re-adding an ISiteCallAuditRepository field to SiteCallAuditActor fails
both FormerlyAllowlistedActors_NowScanClean and the real
Central_NoActorHoldsCaptiveScopedState scan.
Verification: solution builds clean. AuditLog.Tests 3/3 (383), SiteCallAudit.Tests 3/3
(66), Host.Tests 2/2 (505), IntegrationTests 2/2 (115), Communication.Tests 2/2 (717).
scadabridge_site_connection_up never counted data connections. It counts open
central->site gRPC subscriber streams (Debug View + the site-wide alarm feed),
so it correctly reads 0 on a healthy site nobody is watching — and the name
invited reading it as device health. That misreading has already cost a live
debugging session: register row 48's 'connection_up is 0 on all six site
nodes' was healthy steady state, not the fault it was diagnosed as.
Two halves, per the row:
RENAME. scadabridge.site.connection.up -> scadabridge.site.stream.subscribers.active
(helpers SiteConnectionOpened/Closed -> SiteStreamSubscriberOpened/Closed), and
the instrument gains the unit:"1" the other gauges already carried. Every
reference updated: the gRPC server, both test suites, Component-Communication.md,
components/Commons.md, docker/README.md and docker/seed-live-probe.sh. A test
now pins the new name AND asserts the old one is gone, so it cannot creep back.
NEW. scadabridge.site.data_connections.connected / .total — the first exported
data-connection signal (the state existed on the health report and in the CLI,
but never as a metric). connected < total is the alert condition; neither
number alone separates 'a device is down' from 'nothing is configured', which
is why the denominator ships with the numerator.
Sourcing is deliberate on two counts. It is fed by the DCL at its four state
transitions rather than derived from the health report, so the metric survives
a dead report pipeline — the exact failure the 'metrics stale' flag exists to
catch, and a derived gauge would go blind at the same moment. And it uses a
static registry reached through ScadaBridgeTelemetry (the SiteConnectionOpened
precedent) rather than a DI-injected holder: the DCL actors already take
ISiteHealthCollector through their constructors, and threading a second
dependency through both would ripple into every test that builds them. It also
keeps SiteHealthCollector untouched, which matters right now — another agent is
concurrently editing that file for the tag-resolution path.
Removal is wired too: an undeployed connection leaves the registry, so it stops
counting toward the total instead of latching connected < total on forever.
Both gauges read 0 on the standby (connections open on the active node only) —
healthy, documented, and called out in the docs so it does not become the next
site_connection_up.
No ObservedMeters allowlist change: all three instruments ride the existing
ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge meter. (An unlisted meter exports nothing, silently.)
Tests: Commons 711 passed (9 new, delta-based against a baseline with unique
per-test connection names, so they do not inherit the register row 32
QueueDepthGaugeTests static-state flake); Communication 717; DCL 319.
Register row 50. Row 45 (fixed 9e769735) was a live captive dependency —
NotificationOutboxActor cached delivery adapters resolved from an actor-lifetime
IServiceScope, so MaxParallelDeliveries concurrent deliveries shared one EF
DbContext and central-b logged EF's "second operation was started on this context
instance" continuously. Actors take the ROOT IServiceProvider rather than typed
services, which is invisible to build-time analysis, so the bug class had no
mechanical guard at all. This adds both of the register's mitigations; neither
subsumes the other.
1. ValidateScopes + ValidateOnBuild in Development, on BOTH branches, via
ServiceProviderValidation.Configure. WebApplication.CreateBuilder already sets
both flags to IsDevelopment(), so on paper this restates a default — it is
written out because that default is silent (a future move off CreateBuilder
drops it with no diagnostic) and because this host carries three
environment-ish signals (SCADABRIDGE_CONFIG, DOTNET_ENVIRONMENT,
ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT), so "is this node in Development" is not obvious at the
call site. Production stays unvalidated deliberately: a validation failure is
fail-closed, and CI now proves what a production node will not check.
This surfaced two REAL latent violations on the SITE role — not captive
dependencies but unconstructible descriptors, which fail ValidateOnBuild for
the entire graph and are therefore what kept the site branch from being
validatable at all (SiteHealthEndpointTests had pinned UseEnvironment
("Production") to work around exactly this):
- ReconcileService (scoped, needs the central-only IDeploymentManagerRepository)
moved out of the shared AddCommunication() into a new AddCentralCommunication().
- AuditLogKpiSampleSource (scoped IKpiSampleSource, needs the central-only
IAuditLogRepository) moved out of the shared AddAuditLog() into a new
AddAuditLogCentralKpi().
Both were registered on sites under the argument "harmless — only the central
actor ever resolves it". True of the runtime, false of the container: a
registration nothing can build is what stops the validator being usable, and it
masks whatever real defect the validator would have found. Both are now
central-only and SiteHealthEndpointTests boots the site branch validated again.
2. CaptiveDependencyGuard: a reflection scan over every actor class in the shipped
assemblies (28 today; the reference graph is walked from the Host assembly
because referenced assemblies load lazily). Fails on any instance field — auto-
property backing fields included, they are ordinary private fields — typed as
IServiceScope, as a DbContext, or as a service the REAL composition roots
register Scoped. The scoped set is derived from the built Central and Site
containers rather than hand-listed, so a lifetime change automatically re-scopes
the check. IServiceProvider / IServiceScopeFactory fields are explicitly allowed:
that IS the correct per-operation-scope pattern.
No live violation exists — every actor opens a scope per operation. Two fields
are allowlisted with their safety argument rather than exempted silently:
AuditLogIngestActor._injectedRepository and SiteCallAuditActor._injectedRepository
are scoped repository types assigned ONLY by explicitly test-mode constructors,
null under production wiring (AkkaHostedService uses the IServiceProvider
overload in both cases), and SiteCallAuditActor additionally wraps its injected
instance in a SerializedRepository. The shape is one constructor call away from
being row 45 again, so it is recorded, not dismissed.
Tests: 10 new. Six permanent self-tests of the guard, including positive controls
that reproduce the pre-row-45 shape (an actor caching a scoped service, an
IServiceScope, a DbContext, and a scoped auto-property) and a negative control for
the allowed root-provider pattern — a reflection guard that matches nothing passes
just as green as one that works. Plus an actor-count floor with cross-assembly
spot-checks, an allowlist-staleness test that fails any entry no longer matching a
flagged field, and the two per-role scans. Verified non-vacuous by emptying the
allowlist: the Central scan then names both real fields. Two composition-root
build tests force both validation flags on per role regardless of environment.
Doc: REQ-HOST-11 in Component-Host.md records all three rules and their guards.
Deferred flake-pattern sweep of tests/ for the class fixed in c4caebe9 and
cfa6acbf — a bounded wait on observable A followed by a bare assert on an
observable B that the product only reaches strictly after A. Three clear
instances, each reproduced deterministically by delaying only the later step
and each re-verified green with that same delay still injected.
AlarmOnTriggerRuns_ShedAtTheSameCap_WithAnAlarmScopedSiteEvent gated on the
rate-limited shed site event and then asserted the shed COUNT bare.
AlarmActor.ShedAlarmRun increments the counter and only then emits the event,
and the event fires on the first shed only — so the gate observed Flap(4)'s
shed and ordered nothing with respect to Flap(5)'s, which is a separate
mailbox message with no observable of its own (an alarm on-trigger run has no
Ask caller to reply to, unlike ScriptActor.ShedRun, whose sibling test is
correctly ordered by its ScriptCallResult and is left alone). Deferring
Flap(5) by 2 s failed it with "Expected: 2 / Actual: 1". The count is now
ACCUMULATED across polls rather than re-read, because
SiteHealthCollector.CollectReport DRAINS the interval counters — a poll loop
that simply re-read it would consume the first shed and never reach 2.
EndToEnd_GrpcStubError_RowStays_Pending_NextTick_Succeeds gated on the
central row arriving and then asserted bare that the site SQLite row had left
Pending. SiteAuditTelemetryActor pushes via IngestAuditEventsAsync (which is
what writes the central row) and calls MarkForwardedAsync only after parsing
the ack. Delaying just that post-push step failed it with
"Assert.DoesNotContain() Failure: Filter matched in collection".
PreSnapshotBuffer_IsCapped_DropsOldest_AndCountsTheDrops gated on
"Count >= cap" and then asserted "Count == cap + 1" bare — a gate strictly
weaker than the assertion it guards, so it ordered nothing with respect to
the last event of a FlushBuffer loop that delivers one at a time. Parking
that loop after its 19,999th delivery failed it with
"Expected: 20001 / Actual: 20000".
Also hardens GrpcCentralTransportTests.WaitUntil, which returned silently on
timeout; today's single caller re-asserts immediately, so this only sharpens
the message rather than fixing a live flake.
Cleared with evidence, not guessed: SiteAlarmLiveCacheService's LingerStop
removes the site entry inside one lock, so IsLive and GetCurrentAlarms flip
atomically; and SiteReconciliationActor walks response.Gap with a sequential
foreach in which the asserted "Gone" log precedes the awaited "Good" row, the
inverse of this class.
Test-only; every ordering named above is correct as written.
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.
