When a replicated site pair cold-starts together, the node that wins the
Deployment Manager singleton loads its own (stale) store, and the peer's
rows arrive by LocalDb sync about a second later. The boot load has already
run and the startup reconcile rightly reports no gap (the rows are in the
store by the time it asks central), so only the instance sweep starts those
instances - at its plain 60 s cadence. Reproduced on the primary rig: boot
load without the instance at 05:03:16, sweep start at 05:04:16.
The env2 drill read this as "never started" because the operator
redeployed at +49 s, before the first sweep tick at +60 s.
Fix: when boot-time Instance Actor creation finishes, the singleton runs
one sweep at once, then sweeps every InstanceSweepSettleIntervalSeconds
(default 5) for InstanceSweepSettleWindowSeconds (default 120), then falls
back to InstanceSweepIntervalSeconds. Startup never waits for the peer, so
a site whose peer is down for good still starts alone from its own store.
LocalDb 0.3.7 exposes no "snapshot applied" signal, so the fix rides the
arrival-path-agnostic sweep with all its existing guards.
Tests: PostBootSettleSweepTests (4) + validator theory. The two positive
tests fail with the fix disabled; the window-close test fails when the
settle timer is never cancelled.

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.
Each node now re-writes its mirror-status row every SecretMirrorStatusRefreshInterval
(10 min) as a heartbeat; SecretMirrorStatusReporter leaves off the health report and
deletes any row not refreshed for SecretMirrorStatusStaleAfter (1 h, validated >= 2x the
refresh). The delete is conditional on the checked_at it read, so a node that came back
keeps its fresh row; a returning node re-writes its row on its first pass.
Script file access (design docs/plans/2026-09-28-script-file-access-design.md): Files.ReadTextAsync /
ReadLinesAsync / ExistsAsync on site ScriptGlobals (+ Instance.Files), backed by the site-singleton
ScriptFileReader. The one host-mediated exception to the System.IO ban - scripts still never name a
System.IO type. OFF by default: ScadaBridge:SiteRuntime:ScriptFileAccess:AllowedRoots (empty = every call
throws Disabled) + MaxFileBytes (1 MiB, validated 1..64 MiB, roots must be absolute). Guard: fully
qualified, no device paths / ADS, canonical path strictly inside a root (directory-boundary match), no
reparse point on the file or any directory below the root, size cap before and during the read.
Errors are one Commons type, ScriptFileAccessException(+ScriptFileAccessFailure); Commons.Types.Scripts
joins the default script imports on every surface so it binds by short name. Mirrored on
ScriptCompileSurface (CompileFiles, parity-pinned) and the Test Run sandbox (binds, refuses Disabled).
Inbound (central) scripts do not get it.
Rig: docker/recipes (sample RecipeValueName,RecipeValue files incl. an invalid one) bind-mounted
read-only at /app/recipes on both site-a nodes with AllowedRoots [/app/recipes]. The TestMesMachine
SimDelmiaRecipe simulator now reads + parses the downloaded file, converts each value to its recipe tag's
type and loads it all-or-nothing (14 new TestDelmiaReceiver attributes); verify-mes-test-machine.sh
group A covers accept / re-download / invalid lines / NotFound / OutsideAllowedRoots, VERIFY_GROUPS
selects groups (rig: AD).
Flow Debugger (design 2026-09-05 §5.3): a traced SetStaticAttributeCommand on a data-sourced
attribute records (attribute → writer, expiry) for TraceArmWindowSeconds (new option,
default 30, validated > 0); the next DCL echo for that attribute is published with the
writer's SourceExecutionId + Trace whatever its value, and the arm is consumed once. Static
writes publish Trace directly. Untraced writes never arm (pinned).

WP2.6 (arch-review remediation, cross-cutting misc):
- SiteExternalSystemRepository: name/ID-indexed ExternalSystemDefinitionCache replaces
the fetch-all + reverse-map scan on every by-ID/method lookup; loaded once per
redeploy, invalidated by DeploymentManagerActor after HandleDeployArtifacts applies
external-system changes. Static JsonSerializerOptions for method-list parsing.
- Inbound API: short-TTL ApiMethodCache fronts the per-request ApiMethod repository
fetch; invalidated by name via the existing ScriptArtifactChangeSubscriber/
IScriptArtifactChangeBus pipeline, self-healing via TTL for changes the bus
doesn't cover (e.g. Management API edits).
- StoreAndForward: the cached-call audit-observer queue — the one unbounded channel
left in the system — is now bounded (ObserverQueueCapacity, default 10,000) with
DropOldest overflow and a dropped-notification counter.
- SiteStreamManager: alarm state changes now travel a dedicated publish
source/broadcast hub, isolated from the (far higher-volume) attribute path, so an
attribute storm can no longer evict a pending alarm transition; the alarm hand-off
queue is bounded with a drop counter surfaced on the site health report
(SiteStreamAlarmDropCount via the new SiteStreamAlarmDropReporter), and publishing
is skipped entirely at zero subscribers on either path.
- CLI ManagementHttpClient: explicit 30s HttpClient.Timeout on the shared
construction (was the 100s framework default), overridable via
SCADABRIDGE_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS.
Deviation: the failback-probe heartbeat item is NOT included — its only viable
surface (CentralChannelProvider.cs / heartbeat consumers) lives entirely in the
Communication project, explicitly off-limits to this work package this phase.
Tests: SiteRuntime.Tests (550), InboundAPI.Tests (278), StoreAndForward.Tests (133),
CLI.Tests (390), HealthMonitoring.Tests (97) — all green after full solution build.
