LocalDbOplogBacklog was reported and Prometheus-exported with nothing consuming
it: not sampled into KPI history, so a purge-burst spike could not be reviewed
after the fact, and no threshold treatment anywhere. Both halves shipped.
KPI SAMPLING. SiteHealthKpiSampleSource now emits localDbOplogBacklog and
localDbReplicationConnected (0/1), and the backlog is charted on the Health
dashboard's per-site trend panel. Charting is the point: a point-in-time tile
can never answer 'did that spike drain?', which is the only thing separating an
expected purge burst from a stalled peer.
Both are CONDITIONALLY emitted rather than coerced with ?? 0 like the
auditBacklogPending metric beside them. Both health-report fields are nullable
and null means 'no reading' — replication not configured (rig site-b/site-c) or
a failed poll — never zero. A fabricated 0 would render a pair that cannot read
its own oplog, or one deliberately unreplicated, as perfectly healthy once a
minute forever, burying the real series. So a site emits 12 metrics when
unreplicated and 14 when replicated, and a GAP in these two series truthfully
means 'not replicated / not reporting'. Note false and null differ for the
connected flag: a configured link that is DOWN samples as 0; no link samples as
nothing. Both fold as Gauge (summing an oplog depth, or a 0/1 flag, per hour is
meaningless).
THRESHOLD SEMANTICS — sustained, not instantaneous. This is the design, not a
refinement. The site_events retention purge is CDC-captured like any other
write, so the backlog jumps by the deleted batch and drains as the peer acks
it; a bare 'backlog > threshold' badge would fire on every replicated site
every day and be ignored within a week. Healthy is defined by the backlog
RETURNING to ~0, which only a dwell can express. CentralHealthAggregator holds
LocalDbBacklogAboveSince — the instant the backlog first rose above
LocalDbBacklogThreshold (default 1000) — and the badge appears only after
LocalDbBacklogSustainedFor (default 15 min). A report at or below the threshold
clears the anchor; one above leaves the ORIGINAL instant intact, so the window
is sustained rather than sliding.
The null case is deliberately a third branch: a null backlog leaves the anchor
UNCHANGED rather than clearing it. Null is evidence neither of a drain nor of a
backlog, so a node going blind mid-climb must not silently reset its own dwell,
and an unreplicated site (null forever) never accumulates an anchor and can
never be badged.
Validation rejects a non-positive threshold (0 would badge every replicated site
permanently, since an idle backlog already sits at it) and a dwell shorter than
one ReportInterval (satisfiable by a single sample, which collapses the check
back into the bare threshold it replaces).
DOC CORRECTION worth flagging: this row's premise was 'mirror the SiteAuditBacklog
configurable threshold badge'. That badge does not exist — Component-HealthMonitoring.md
described it in two places but no option, no comparison and no markup were ever
implemented. The two stale claims are corrected here rather than left to send the
next reader looking for it; the LocalDb badge is built fresh on the Metrics-stale
badge's pattern, which is a real configurable-threshold badge.
Tests: HealthMonitoring 115 (9 new aggregator tests incl. purge-burst-drains,
unreplicated-never-anchors, null-mid-climb, exact-threshold, stale-report; 5 new
validator tests; 4 new sampler tests incl. the null-semantics and false-vs-null
cases); CentralUI 1042 (5 new badge/chart tests incl. the purge-burst negative
control); Commons Kpi 93; KpiHistory 54.
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.
Row 53 shipped the scadabridge.central.transport.import_sessions.open gauge
and a Warning log on a cap hit, but a log line is not something an operator
can alert on. Adds the companion counter
scadabridge.central.transport.import_sessions.rejected
on the existing ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge meter, so no ObservedMeters allowlist
change is needed (an unlisted meter exports nothing, silently).
The emit point is deliberately narrow. BundleSessionStore.Open tests the cap
TWICE — once on entry and again after EvictExpired() — and only the second
test is a rejection: a store full of merely expired sessions reclaims a slot
and admits the caller. Counting the first would make the series fire
routinely on any node whose sweep had not yet run, turning a page-worthy
signal into background noise. Re-Opening an already-open session id skips
the cap block entirely and is likewise not counted.
The two instruments are diagnostic as a pair: rejections rising while the
gauge oscillates below the cap is genuine concurrency (raise the cap);
rejections rising while the gauge sits pinned at the cap is a session leak
(register row 43's signature), where raising the cap only defers the problem.
Tests assert a delta over a scoped action rather than an absolute value, so
they do not inherit the register row 32 static-state flake that makes
QueueDepthGaugeTests fail only under the full concurrent suite. Negative
controls cover under-cap, expired-reclaim, and duplicate-session-id.
Tests: 11 passed in BundleSessionObservabilityTests (6 existing + 5 new).
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.
The per-IP unlock throttle's counters were a process-local ConcurrentDictionary
on each central node, so the effective fleet cap was N x
MaxUnlockAttemptsPerIpPerHour per client (failing over to the other node handed
the client a fresh budget) and a node restart cleared the window outright.
The window now lives in the central MS SQL BundleUnlockAttempt table — the HA
store both central nodes already share, so no new infrastructure, no new port,
no consensus protocol:
- Commons: BundleUnlockAttempt entity + IBundleUnlockAttemptRepository.
- ConfigurationDatabase: entity config (one index,
IX_BundleUnlockAttempt_Client_Attempted, serving both the windowed count and
the prune), repository (AsNoTracking count, ExecuteDeleteAsync prune),
DbSet, DI registration, migration AddBundleUnlockAttemptTable + the
hand-written idempotent production script under docs/plans/sql/.
- Transport: IBundleUnlockAttemptWindow seam + SqlBundleUnlockAttemptWindow
(singleton; resolves the scoped repository from its own scope per call, like
the central purge singletons). BundleUnlockRateLimiter keeps the policy and
gains TryRegisterAttemptAsync; BundleImporter.LoadAsync calls it.
Behaviour preserved from row 44: locked bundles spend no hourly budget (the
lockout check still runs first), throttle denials burn no per-bundle strike and
are NOT recorded so they cannot roll the window forward, unattributable clients
share the stricter <unattributed> bucket, and the budget counts attempts rather
than failures. Config keys and their semantics are unchanged, so the rig's 500
override stays valid.
Three deliberate trades, documented in both Transport docs:
- FAILS OPEN. A store error logs a Warning naming the client and cap, and
permits the attempt. This is a best-effort rate cap over an already
authenticated, Administrator-gated surface — the availability of legitimate
imports outranks the cap, and a DB blip must not make the import wizard
unusable. Falling back to the process-local window was considered and
rejected: it would still block a legitimate operator's 11th import.
- Approximate. Count-then-insert is not atomic across nodes, so simultaneous
attempts can overshoot by the number in flight — bounded, self-correcting
within the window, and not worth provider-specific raw SQL.
- Pruned opportunistically on the unlock path (CAS-claimed at most every 15
min per process, bounded to 1000 rows, retaining 2x the window, best-effort
try/catch) rather than by a new background service — Transport owns no
central scheduler. Same shape as DeploymentService's terminal-record sweep.
Tests: Transport.IntegrationTests 116 passed (+10 — two limiter instances over
one store enforcing a single combined window, restart durability, denials
burning no budget, sliding release, bucket isolation, store-failure fail-open,
caller-cancellation not swallowed, no-shared-window fallback, prune and its
negative control); ConfigurationDatabase 395 passed (+5).
Nothing counted open import sessions and nothing logged a rejection at
MaxConcurrentImportSessions (default 8), so the register-row-43 session leak
could only be inferred from rotating test failures.
- Gauge scadabridge.central.transport.import_sessions.open on the existing
ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge meter — already in SiteServiceRegistration.ObservedMeters
(the ZbTelemetryOptions.Meters allowlist), so no telemetry config change is
needed and the series is not silently dropped. Provider-backed, mirroring the
StoreAndForward queue-depth gauge: registered by BundleSessionEvictionService
.StartAsync (Transport's only lifecycle seam) and identity-checked-cleared on
StopAsync so a late stop cannot clobber a newer registrant.
- IBundleSessionStore.OpenSessionCount counts only UNEXPIRED sessions. The raw
dictionary count would report the node as pinned at the cap for up to a
one-minute sweep interval after a burst had drained — the exact false positive
the instrument exists to rule out.
- BundleSessionStore.Open logs Warning with open count, cap and TTL when it
rejects. Fires only on a real cap hit: a store full of expired sessions is
reclaimed first and logs nothing.
- Docs: docs/components/Transport.md + docs/requirements/Component-Transport.md.
Tests: Transport 173 passed (+6 new — Warning content, two negative controls,
unexpired-only counting, gauge register/clear, no-clobber-on-late-stop).
Deferred-work register row 46. HandleQueryAuditLog returned ICentralUiRepository's
(IReadOnlyList<AuditLogEntry> Entries, int TotalCount) ValueTuple straight to
ManagementActor.SerializeResult. System.Text.Json writes properties only, and a
ValueTuple exposes Item1/Item2 as public FIELDS, so the whole payload serialized to
the literal "{}" — the CLI faithfully printed an empty object no matter how many
AuditLogEntries rows matched, with no error anywhere in the stack.
Fixed at the handler (the layer that leaks the tuple), not the CLI: new Commons record
AuditLogQueryResult(Entries, TotalCount), mirroring the SecuredWriteListResult shape
already used by the other paged management query.
Also guards the whole class of bug: SerializeResult now throws on any ITuple result,
so the next handler that returns a tuple fails loudly instead of silently emitting {}.
Tests (fail-before verified — the query test asserted exactly "{}"):
- QueryAuditLogCommand_ReturnsEntriesAndTotalCount
- SerializeResult_TupleResult_ThrowsInsteadOfEmittingEmptyObject
- SerializeResult_AuditLogQueryResult_EmitsEntriesAndTotalCount
Docs: Component-CLI.md + CLI README document the response shape and why it is a record.
ManagementService references Commons but not Transport, so MapFault could not
see BundleLockedException and the per-bundle 3-strike lockout reached the CLI
as "An internal error occurred (CorrelationId=...)" — the operator got a
correlation id instead of the reason, and no hint that further attempts on
that bundle would be refused.
Applies the pattern register row 44 established for BundleUnlockThrottledException:
- Relocate BundleLockedException from Transport/Import/ to
Commons/Types/Transport/, beside BundleUnlockThrottledException. Both
consumers (BundleImporter, CentralUI TransportImport) already carried the
Commons.Types.Transport using, so no call-site edits were needed.
- Add curated catch arms in ManagementActor.HandlePreviewBundle and
HandleImportBundle that rethrow as ManagementCommandException, so the
message survives MapFault's disclosure filter.
- Mirror the row-44 throttle fault-mapping test for both handlers.
- Document the relocation in docs/components/Transport.md and
docs/requirements/Component-Transport.md.
Tests: ManagementService 499 passed (+2 new), Transport 167 passed.
BundleUnlockRateLimiter was registered (ServiceCollectionExtensions), injected
into BundleImporter, unit-tested, documented on
TransportOptions.MaxUnlockAttemptsPerIpPerHour = 10 and pinned in
appsettings.Central.json — but _unlockRateLimiter was never invoked. A
brute-force passphrase attacker against a stolen bundle was bounded only by the
per-bundle 3-strike lockout, which a re-export side-steps (new ContentHash).
LoadAsync now registers every unlock attempt against the limiter. Ordering is
load-bearing: AFTER the per-bundle lockout check (hammering a locked bundle
spends no hourly budget) and BEFORE the decrypt (so a denial burns no per-bundle
strike — otherwise the throttle would be a way to lock a bundle someone is
legitimately importing). Over budget throws the new
BundleUnlockThrottledException, fail-closed with a clear message on both
surfaces; it lives in Commons because the management surface (Commons-only
references) must catch it to return a curated error rather than MapFault's
generic internal-error text.
Client key plumbing:
- Central UI: new scoped CircuitClientAddressProvider snapshots
Connection.RemoteIpAddress at circuit establishment — the same constraint and
the same pattern as CookieAuthenticationStateProvider, since HttpContext is
null by the time a circuit submits a passphrase.
- CLI/management: additive ManagementEnvelope.ClientIp, stamped by
ManagementEndpoints and threaded through DispatchCommand to the preview/import
bundle handlers.
- No attributable address => a single SHARED "<unattributed>" bucket, not a
bypass: unknown clients get a stricter budget, never none. Per-client
isolation is only real behind a ForwardedHeaders-trusted proxy, the same
caveat the login throttle carries (Component-Security.md).
Docs: Component-Transport.md + docs/components/Transport.md record the two-level
ordering, the client-key sourcing, the shared-bucket fallback and a
troubleshooting entry for the new error.
Tests: 6 importer tests (cap enforced; denial != passphrase failure, no strike
burned; per-client isolation; shared unattributed bucket; unencrypted bundles
consume no budget; a locked bundle spends no hourly budget) — 4 of the 6 fail
with the limiter call disabled, i.e. against the dead-code state. Plus
ManagementActor tests pinning the ClientIp forwarding and the curated
throttle error.
Register row 45. NotificationOutboxActor.ResolveAdapters() cached adapter
instances in an actor-lifetime IServiceScope (_adaptersScope), but both
EmailNotificationDeliveryAdapter and SmsNotificationDeliveryAdapter are
AddScoped and hold a scoped INotificationRepository over one EF DbContext.
MaxParallelDeliveries (default 4) then drove up to four concurrent deliveries
through that single adapter and single context, which central-b logged
continuously on the rig as "InvalidOperationException: A second operation was
started on this context instance before a previous operation completed". The
collided delivery's row is never written and the wasted attempt counts against
its retry budget, so sustained contention could park a legitimate notification.
The per-delivery scope DeliverGatedAsync already opened for the outbox
repository — added for exactly this hazard — did not cover the adapter.
_adaptersCache, _adaptersScope and ResolveAdapters() are deleted. Delivery
adapters are now resolved inside the per-delivery scope via a static
ResolveAdapter(IServiceProvider, NotificationType), preserving DI's last-wins
resolution semantics (the enumeration runs to completion rather than
short-circuiting) and the null-adapter park path. Nothing shared is lost: the
Email adapter builds a fresh SMTP client per attempt from an injected factory
and the SMS adapter draws pooled connections from the singleton
IHttpClientFactory, so no adapter carried state worth preserving across
deliveries. The Central UI's NotificationChannelCatalog is an independent
consumer of the same scoped registrations and is untouched, so the
adapter-gated Type selector still enumerates exactly the deliverable channels.
Tests: Dispatch_ResolvesAdaptersOnce_AcrossMultipleSweeps (which pinned the
superseded caching behaviour) is replaced by
ParallelDeliveries_EachGetTheirOwnAdapterAndDbContext — two parallel deliveries
through a scoped repository whose simulated DbContext throws EF's exact
second-operation exception on overlap, with a rendezvous that guarantees the
overlap window — and Dispatch_ResolvesAdapterPerDelivery_NotOncePerActorLifetime.
Both fail against the pre-fix actor (stash-verified: 1 of 2 rows persisted; 1
distinct adapter instead of 4) and pass after. Parallel-delivery
ordering/throughput semantics are unchanged.
Docs: Component-NotificationOutbox.md gains the scoped-adapter contract under
Delivery Adapters (resolve per delivery; adapters carry no cross-delivery
state; genuinely shared resources belong in a singleton/factory), and the
NotificationOutbox-006 finding is marked SUPERSEDED with the reasoning.
Solution build clean; NotificationOutbox (153), AuditLog (383), integration
NotificationOutbox flow (2) and CentralUI notification (14) suites green.
Only BundleImporter.ApplyAsync released an import session, so every path that
opened one and did NOT apply held one of MaxConcurrentImportSessions (8) — and
the DECRYPTED bundle content that T-007 deliberately zeroes on the apply paths —
for the full BundleSessionTtlMinutes (30). Eight abandonments locked out all
imports on the active node; observed live (R6: 3 back-to-back suite runs held 6
of 8 slots until central-b was restarted).
New IBundleImporter.Abandon(sessionId): the same zero-then-remove release
ApplyAsync performs, idempotent (double release / unknown id / expired id are
no-ops) and only ever given the random-GUID id its caller opened, so it can
never evict another circuit's session.
Wired into every abandonment path:
- Central UI wizard — ReleaseSession() from new upload, TryLoadAsync (before it
overwrites _session), Back-to-Upload / ResetSessionState, the 3-strike lockout
reset, and Dispose (navigation away / circuit teardown).
- CLI transport preview — a preview never applies, so nothing released it at
all; now released in a finally.
- CLI transport import — covers the pre-apply aborts (blocker rows, unresolved
site/connection mappings).
Class doc's "an abandoned wizard does not leak" claim is true again (it only
ever covered the staged plaintext temp file). Component-Transport.md +
docs/components/Transport.md now record the explicit-release contract and that
BundleSessionEvictionService is a TTL backstop, not an abandonment path.
Tests: 4 bUnit tests over a REAL BundleSessionStore (dispose / back-to-upload /
apply-then-dispose idempotency / concurrent-circuit isolation) — 3 of the 4 fail
against the pre-fix page; 4 importer tests (release + zeroing, idempotency,
cross-session isolation, and the slot-cap regression).
Every AttributeValueChanged/AlarmStateChanged rode its own gRPC message on
SiteStreamService; at target scale that is ~37.5k messages/s/site of pure
framing overhead. Coalesce them, additively, with no new RPC.
Wire (sitestream.proto, regenerated via docker/regen-proto.sh sitestream):
InstanceStreamRequest.batching_supported = 3
SiteStreamRequest.batching_supported = 2
SiteStreamEvent.batch = 4 (new oneof case)
SiteStreamEventBatch { repeated SiteStreamEvent events = 1 }
The proto3 default of batching_supported IS the negotiation, and it is
load-bearing: a batch frame reaches a pre-R2 central as EventOneofCase.None,
whose ConvertToDomainEvent returns null — the whole batch would vanish with
no error anywhere. An old central cannot set the flag so it never receives
one; an old site ignores the unknown request field and keeps sending
per-event frames, which the new client's ForEachEvent handles as the
single-event case. Both skew directions are covered by tests that go through
a real proto serialize/parse round-trip.
Server: SiteStreamEventBatcher, a per-subscriber pump replacing the handler's
await-foreach/WriteAsync loop and byte-identical to it at a cap of 1. It
never delays a lone event — it drains the already-queued backlog for free and
lingers only once a backlog is proven — emits a single-event buffer as a
plain frame, preserves order and per-event Timestamps exactly, and flushes
what is buffered when the send channel's writer completes. It sits DOWNSTREAM
of StreamRelayActor's bounded DropOldest channel, so it changes framing only
and does not move the burst ceiling (deferred register row 31, which lives in
the shared publish stage upstream of the BroadcastHub).
Client: sets the flag on both subscriptions and unpacks in order into the
existing per-event pipeline, so SiteAlarmAggregatorActor,
DebugStreamBridgeActor, consumer-keepalive/orphan logic,
reconnect-on-graceful-completion, generation fencing, the (siteId, endpoint)
factory key and IsLive semantics are untouched.
Options (validated): GrpcStreamBatchMaxEvents 100 (1 disables),
GrpcStreamBatchWindow 25 ms — validated strictly under 250 ms, the load
test's end-to-end P99 threshold. Measured worst case (trickle-with-backlog,
window-bound rather than cap-bound): P50 13.8 ms, P99 25.4 ms, max 25.8 ms;
cap-bound case sent 600 queued events in 6 frames.
Telemetry: histogram scadabridge.site.stream.batch_size tagged by stream
kind, recorded only on negotiated streams (per-event otherwise). It rides
ScadaBridgeTelemetry.MeterName, already in the ObservedMeters allowlist.
Docs: Component-Communication.md gains an Event Batching section; CLAUDE.md's
gRPC streaming bullet records the wire shape and the negotiation rationale.
The Deployment Status page client-materialized the whole deployment list. It read
EVERY DeploymentRecord — an insert-only table, one row per deploy attempt for the
retention window — plus EVERY Instance, then site-scoped, sorted, counted the four
status tiles and sliced a 25-row page in the Blazor circuit's memory. That ran on
first render AND on every IDeploymentStatusNotifier push, so the cost scaled with
the age of the system rather than the size of the page.
All four jobs move into SQL:
- `IDeploymentManagerRepository.QueryDeploymentListPageAsync(filter, page, size)`
returns one page of `DeploymentListRow` — DeploymentRecord INNER JOINed to
Instance, so the instance display name and site travel with the rows that need
them — plus the total count of the filtered set. The join is exact: the FK is
Restrict and DeleteInstanceAsync removes the records first, so no orphan exists.
- `GetDeploymentStatusCountsAsync(filter)` returns the tile counts from ONE grouped
aggregation, deliberately ignoring the filter's Status: the tiles are the status
BREAKDOWN of the filtered set, so honouring it would zero three of four tiles the
moment an operator clicked one.
- Site scoping runs in the query as `SiteIdScope` resolved through the record's
instance (DeploymentRecord has no SiteId of its own). An EMPTY grant stays a real
filter matching nothing, never "unconstrained".
- The now-callerless whole-table `GetAllDeploymentRecordsAsync` is deleted.
OFFSET paging, not the Audit Log's keyset cursor, and deliberately so: this page's
pager is numbered and jump-to-any-page, so it needs a page count, which only a total
can give it — a keyset cursor can express neither, and the total is required for the
tiles regardless. The deep-offset cost that pushes high-volume tables to keyset is
bounded here by the terminal-record retention purge, unlike the 365-day AuditLog.
This mirrors the Notification Outbox, offset-paged for the same reason. Ordering is
DeployedAt DESC, Id DESC — the Id tie-break is load-bearing, because DeployedAt ties
on rapid redeploys and an unstable sort key makes offset paging repeat or drop rows.
UI: the four status tiles become the status filter (click to apply, click again to
clear, aria-pressed, phrasing-only content so a <button> stays valid), plus a
free-text search matched DB-side against instance name, deployment id, revision hash
and initiating user. Search is TRAILING-edge debounced at 500ms — the same Timer +
lock + _disposed idiom as the existing leading-edge push coalescer, minus the leading
edge, because a search box must not query on the first keystroke. A filter change
resets to page 1; a page past the end falls back to the last real page. Bootstrap
only, existing PagerWindow pager retained.
The WP2.4 push coalescing is unchanged and still earns its keep: server paging shrank
what a reload costs, not how many arrive — it now bounds database round-trips rather
than table scans.
Tests: 19 new SQLite repository tests (paging slice + total, tie-break stability
across pages, page/size clamping, past-the-end, the joined projection, every filter
dimension incl. the empty-scope security case, and the grouped counts' status-blind
contract); 15 new bUnit page tests (page-1 request, server total drives the pager,
Next re-queries, tiles show server counts not page counts, tile filter + toggle,
system-wide vs site-scoped scope push, debounce collapses a keystroke burst to one
query, clear-filters, dispose with an armed timer). The two existing Deployments
suites re-point their reload assertions at the new query.
Doc: Component-CentralUI.md Deployment section — the "no server-side paging" known
residual is replaced by the shipped design.
The daily site_events retention purge (and the storage-cap trim) is CDC-captured
on a replication-enabled site node exactly like any other write — correct by
design, since LocalDb Phase 2 deliberately has no purge-exemption path — so the
backlog jumps by the deleted batch size at purge time. LocalDbOplogBacklog /
localdb_oplog_depth spike, drain, and an operator watching the gauge with no
context reads it as a replication fault.
Documentation + one log line, no behaviour change:
- topology-guide.md gains "Reading the replication backlog — the daily
site_events purge burst": when it fires (PurgeInterval 24h, anchored to the
active node's PROCESS START, not a wall-clock hour, so it moves after every
failover), where it shows (replicated nodes only — not rig site-b/site-c),
the healthy signature (LocalDbReplicationConnected stays true, backlog
returns to ~0) and what a genuine fault looks like instead.
- Component-SiteEventLogging.md Storage records the same under retention/purge;
Component-HealthMonitoring.md gains the two previously-undocumented
LocalDbReplicationConnected / LocalDbOplogBacklog metric rows carrying the
caveat, with cross-references both ways.
- EventLogPurgeService emits one Information line naming the row count and the
expected transient backlog when a purge deleted rows on a replication-enabled
node, so the spike is correlatable in the log. Replication-awareness comes in
as a Host-supplied SiteEventLogReplicationCheck delegate, mirroring the
existing SiteEventLogActiveNodeCheck seam: SiteLocalDbSetup.ReplicationIsConfigured
goes internal so the PeerAddress-OR-ApiKey rule stays in one place and
SiteEventLogging never learns to read LocalDb config. Unregistered ⇒ no note,
matching the default that replication is opt-in and off.
Both delete paths carry the note (a cap trim is usually the larger burst); the
predicate is try/caught since a log-wording check must never break the purge.
Tests: 5 new EventLogPurgeServiceTests cases (replicated logs it, unreplicated
does not, zero-rows does not, cap purge logs it, throwing predicate still purges
and swallows) via a local capturing ILogger. SiteEventLogging 81/81 green,
Host 490/490 green, full solution build clean (0 warnings).
Closes arch-review remediation residual #1 (DCL unsubscribe-during-reconnect
count staleness).
DataConnectionActor tracked TotalSubscribedTags/ResolvedTags as two int fields
incremented and decremented at five independent sites. ReSubscribeAll clears the
very maps those decrements key off (_subscriptionIds, _unresolvedTags) while
deliberately preserving _subscriptionsByInstance, so an unsubscribe landing
inside a reconnect window matched NEITHER decrement branch: the total leaked +1
per subscribe/reconnect/unsubscribe churn cycle, permanently and cumulatively.
The 37f13e2e discard gate stopped the orphan-handle half of that race; it could
not stop the counters drifting, because they were state of their own.
Both counts are now DERIVED at report time from the authoritative per-tag
collections, which makes the drift unrepresentable rather than merely guarded:
total = _instancesByTag.Count (the per-tag counted set the residual
called for — distinct tags with at least
one subscribing instance)
resolved = _subscriptionIds.Count (tags for which the adapter holds a handle)
Two semantic corrections fall out of the derivation:
- A tag whose subscribe failed at CONNECTION level now counts toward the total.
It was excluded before, yet the reconnect re-subscribe re-issued it from
_subscriptionsByInstance and booked it as resolved — resolved above total, and
a total driven negative by the eventual unsubscribe.
- _tagSubscriberCount is deleted. It duplicated _instancesByTag exactly, so
HandleUnsubscribe's last-subscriber test is now "did UnindexTag drop the key?"
— still O(1), with no parallel count that can disagree about when a handle is
released. The subscribe-success promotion split (fresh vs. unresolved→resolved)
also goes: it existed only to pick which scalar to bump; set sizes get
DataConnectionLayer-020's double-count cases right for free.
Behavior is otherwise unchanged — same logging, same handle release, same
unresolved-tag probing, same in-flight-unsubscribe discard semantics (the long
comment block there is updated for the mechanics that changed).
Tests: five TagResolutionCounts_* cases in DataConnectionActorBatchTests
covering the churn repro (3 cycles), a shared tag losing one instance mid
reconnect, connection-level failure then recovery, plain subscribe/unsubscribe
cycles, and a completed reconnect re-subscribe. Verified failing against the
pre-fix actor (churn: total 1 not 0; connection-level: total 0 not 1) and
passing after. Full DCL suite 319/319; solution builds with 0 warnings.
Docs: Component-DataConnectionLayer.md health-reporting section describes the
derived counts; residuals register item 1 marked RESOLVED.
Final consistency sweep per plan §6: verified component docs against shipped
WP1-WP3 + adversarial-review-fix state, corrected drift found in SiteRuntime
(recursion-exempt run cap, stale ScriptExecutionActor/AlarmExecutionActor
references), TemplateEngine (BundleImporter watermark path), DeploymentManager
(phase-2 PendingDeployment staging), CentralUI (shared KPI cache, dedup'd alarm
poll, render coalescing), StoreAndForward (rate-limited drop logging), and
ConfigurationDatabase (documented DbContext-pooling non-adoption). Updated the
docs/components/ developer-reference set (SiteRuntime, SiteEventLogging,
InboundAPI) to drop the deleted per-run actor classes. Amended one known-issue
for the superseding MaxBatchSize:64 read-page pin. Added CLAUDE.md bullets for
stream graceful-completion reconnect, the required site audit DB path, honest
CLI HTTP timeouts, bulk DeploySiteAsync, and LocalDb 0.2.1. New execution log
records the phase→commit map, gate results, adversarial-review tally, the
three test-flake root causes, and the nine-item residuals register.
F1 (HIGH) DebugStreamBridgeActor: the 5-minute orphan net measured the MAILBOX
(SetReceiveTimeout), and once stream events were correctly marked
INotInfluenceReceiveTimeout nothing recurring reset it — the snapshot lands once
and GrpcStreamStable once — so every healthy session self-terminated at ~6 min
with a false "Site disconnected". Replaced with a periodic self-tick
(ConsumerLivenessCheckInterval, 30s) over a consumer-last-seen stamp renewed only
by DebugStreamConsumerAlive, which DebugStreamService Tells on a shared timer to
every session still in its registry (holding a session there IS "a consumer is
attached" — both the Blazor view and the SignalR hub release it on
dispose/disconnect, and it works headless). Reverting the wrapper was rejected: it
would restore the quiet-instance orphan bug.
F2 (MED) SiteStreamGrpcClient: the RpcException(Cancelled) filter now requires
cts.IsCancellationRequested. A peer-originated / channel-dispose Cancelled fired
none of onError/onCompleted/onConnected, leaving SiteAlarmAggregatorActor with
_streamDown=false forever (IsLive stuck true, reconcile reopen guard never fired).
F3 (MED) SiteStreamGrpcClient: a header TIMEOUT is no longer reported as
connected — that shape is exactly what an unreachable site produces, and it
cleared _streamDown, consumed _seedOnConnect and launched a full snapshot fan-out
at a dead site. AwaitHeadersAsync returns bool; the first received event is the
fallback connected signal, fired at most once from headers OR first event.
F4 (LOW-MED) SqliteAuditWriter.MarkReconciledUpToAsync: the blanket below-cursor
UPDATE retired late-stamped inserts that were never served (then age-purged —
silent loss). The flip is now bounded by insertion order: a Pending row retires
only if its rowid is at or below the high-water mark of rows this instance has
served from ReadPendingSinceAsync (clamped on purge, since SQLite reuses rowids);
Forwarded rows are exempt (central ACKed them over the push path). At-least-once
is unchanged.
F5 (LOW) Documented the liveness dependency (a served row never covered by a later
cursor stays Pending forever; PurgeExpiredAsync never purges Pending) in
ISiteAuditQueue + Component-AuditLog.md, and added a cheap site-health signal:
SiteAuditBacklogReporter logs a rate-limited warning when the existing
oldest-pending metric exceeds 24h.
F6 (MED) SiteAlarmAggregatorActor: _fanoutSinceLastTick was armed by the
reconcile's OWN fan-out, so steady state ran fan-out→skip→fan-out→skip — one
reconcile per 2x interval (120s), halving the not-reporting refresh and the alarm
reconcile backstop. The skip is now armed only by connect/failover-driven seeds
(initial, _seedOnConnect, and a re-seed queued behind one).
Tests: Communication.Tests 691 passed (+13), AuditLog.Tests 382 passed (+5).
Six adversarial-review findings in the central SQL/ingest layer.
F1 (AuditLogRepository.InsertChunkAsync) — the set-based ingest declared each
string parameter at its COLUMN width (Actor/Target 256, Action 64, Outcome 16,
Category 32, SourceNode 64), so SqlClient truncated an over-long value at bind
time and committed the mutilated row — silent, in an append-only store, with no
PayloadTruncated flag — while the per-row and reconciliation paths sent the same
value in full and let the server reject it with 2628. Bind at the value's own
length instead; explicit SqlDbType is kept (it fixes the VALUES constructor's
derived column types and datetime2 precision). Design: reject everywhere,
truncate nowhere — matching today's per-row behaviour.
F2 (SiteCallAuditRepository.UpsertAsync) — the single-statement upsert ran the
monotonic UPDATE first and INSERTed only if nothing matched. Two writers racing
the first packet of one TrackedOperationId (the cached dual-write and the
reconciliation pull carry DIFFERENT lifecycle states) both matched nothing, and
the loser then skipped its INSERT or swallowed a 2627 — dropping its
Status/RetryCount/HttpStatus/TerminalAtUtc. Legs swapped to
`IF NOT EXISTS … INSERT; UPDATE <monotonic>` — still one round trip, and the
loser's UPDATE now lands on the winner's row. The duplicate-key catch re-runs
the monotonic UPDATE for the same reason. Moved to raw SQL with explicitly-typed
parameters so the intricate rank predicate exists in exactly one place (an
untyped DateTime would bind as `datetime` and round the freshness tiebreaker).
F3 (docs/plans/sql/*.sql) — filtered-index DDL failed with error 1934 under the
documented `docker exec … sqlcmd` path, which defaults QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF;
once IX_Notifications_Delivered exists, QI-OFF DML on Notifications fails too.
All four scripts now open with `SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON; SET ANSI_NULLS ON; GO`
(own batch, so it is in force when the next batch parses), and the migration
convention in Component-ConfigurationDatabase.md documents `sqlcmd -I`. Verified
live: the pre-fix script fails 1934 without -I, the fixed one applies.
F4 (SiteCallAuditActor) — the off-mailbox reconciliation/purge passes reuse the
injected repository, so tests drove one DbContext from the pass and a mailbox
handler concurrently. Serialized at the CALL via a private SerializedRepository
wrapper applied only by the test constructors, rather than running the pass
on-mailbox: production keeps its PipeTo shape untouched, and the existing
"a blocked drain does not stall ingest/query/KPI" regression tests stay
meaningful (they would have been invalidated by suspending the mailbox).
F5 (AuditLogIngestActor) — when the batch failed because the 20 s IngestBudget
expired, the per-row fallback reused the same expired token: N instant failures,
N counter bumps, zero accepted. The fallback now gets a fresh 5 s budget (inside
the 30 s outer Ask), and a blown budget bumps the failure counter ONCE for the
batch instead of once per row.
F6 (NotificationOutboxRepository.UpdateAsync) — ExecuteUpdate's row count was
discarded, so an operator Retry/Discard of a notification the retention purge had
already deleted reported success (the pre-ExecuteUpdate code threw
DbUpdateConcurrencyException). UpdateAsync now returns whether a row matched; the
operator one-shots answer "notification not found" and emit no audit row for the
action that did not happen, while the dispatcher logs a warning (its delivery
already happened; nothing to retry). GetByIdAsync switched to AsNoTracking since
the write is out-of-band.
Tests: 5 new SQL-backed regressions (over-long Target rejected on both paths +
boundary round-trip; concurrent first-write and already-created-by-another-writer
upserts; vanished-row UpdateAsync), a token-identity pin on the ingest fallback,
a repository-concurrency detector for the SiteCallAudit passes, and vanished-row
operator-path tests. The F1/F2/F4 regressions were each confirmed failing against
the pre-fix code. Suites: ConfigurationDatabase 369, AuditLog 378, SiteCallAudit
66, NotificationOutbox 152 — all green, solution builds with 0 warnings.
Implements WP3.2 stage (b) per docs/plans/2026-08-15-site-events-policy-design.md.
- Per-run instance-script Started/Completed Info site events are now off by
default (SiteRuntimeOptions.PerRunScriptEvents=false) instead of firing on
every run, closing the dominant site_events writer. Gated at the ScriptRunLauncher
call sites (moved there from ScriptExecutionActor by WP3.1). Error-level events
(timeout/failure/stuck-watchdog/recursion-limit) remain unconditional.
- ScriptRunSummaryRecorder accumulates per-(instance, script) run counters and a
new site-only ScriptRunSummaryFlushService emits one aggregate "script" Info
site event per ScriptRunSummaryIntervalSeconds (default 300s), top-50-script
breakdown with an "others" rollup, zero-activity intervals emit nothing.
- Per-script opt-in via PerRunScriptEventScripts ("Instance/Script" exact or
"Instance/*" wildcard), matched by the new pure ScriptRunEventPolicy. All three
options are read from IOptionsMonitor<SiteRuntimeOptions> per run, so the
policy is hot-togglable without a restart.
- Fixed the stale "event log is not replicated" comment at AkkaHostedService.cs
(~905): site_events IS registered in SiteLocalDbSetup.ReplicatedTables — the
singleton is what makes queries always hit the actively-written copy;
replication is what gives the singleton history to read after a failover
(memo Decision (b)). site_events replication itself is unchanged (still
registered) and already pinned by
tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Host.Tests/SiteLocalDbCdcRegistrationTests.cs.
- Updated Component-SiteEventLogging.md (Volume Policy section, corrected
Storage/replication rationale) and Component-SiteRuntime.md (Script Run
Launch + Error Handling sections).
ScriptOptions.WithReferences(Assembly[]) resolves each assembly through
MetadataReference.CreateFromFile, which does not cache: every call mints a
fresh AssemblyMetadata -> PEReader -> NativeHeapMemoryBlock holding an
unmanaged copy of the assembly metadata that nothing disposes. Building the
options per compile therefore leaked native memory permanently — invisible to
the GC, to gcdump and to the managed allocation counters, so the working set
grew while the GC heap did not.
Diagnosed from a live dump of a wonder-app-vd03 Site node: 2,885 MB working
set 78 min after a cold start, only 150 MB live GC heap, ~2,469 MB on the
default process heap across ~6,700 undisposed AssemblyMetadata instances
against 473 DLLs on disk.
Three sites, all hoisted to static readonly:
- SiteRuntime ScriptCompilationService (the dumped one)
- InboundAPI InboundScriptExecutor — same defect on the central node; method
compiles recur on every re-registration and revision change
- CentralUI ScriptAnalysisService — CreateFromFile per sandbox run
ScriptAnalysis RoslynScriptCompiler also builds options per call but draws
from the static ScriptTrustPolicy.DefaultReferences, so it mints no metadata
and is left alone.
Guarded by reference-equality on the artifact rather than by watching memory:
a bytes-watching test would be flaky, and the leak is native so the managed
counters cannot see it at all. The test is proven to fail before the fix.
This does NOT close the AddTemplateScript OOM — that path was shown twice not
to compile scripts. It explains how a long-running node reaches a native
memory state where a large allocation fails with gigabytes free, which is a
lead worth re-testing, not a closure.
Component-AuditLog.md has always required "we over-redact, never under-redact,
on configuration faults", but the body / SQL-parameter redactors violated it.
AuditRegexCache rejects a pattern that is malformed OR whose compile exceeds a
100 ms budget, caching the rejection for the process lifetime.
ScadaBridgeAuditRedactor then simply dropped the rejected pattern from its
redactor set and emitted the payload anyway — publishing precisely the values
the operator configured it to suppress, onto a row that looks entirely normal
downstream. Recovery required a process restart and the only signal was one
Warning line. The SQL path was worse: TryGetSqlParamRedactor returned a bare
false for both "no redactor configured for this connection" and "the configured
one will not compile", and CLAUDE.md records SQL parameter capture as on by
default.
Two changes:
1. Fail closed. A pattern that is CONFIGURED but unavailable now over-redacts
the whole payload and increments AuditRedactionFailure, reusing the existing
safety-net path. "Not configured at all" stays permissive — conflating those
two states is the actual defect, so both are pinned by tests.
2. Precompile off the hot path. The audit-log roadmap specifies patterns are
"precompiled at startup; rejected if compile takes >100ms"; the implementation
had drifted to compiling lazily on first event, which put a wall-clock budget
on a hot path under production load. RegexOptions.Compiled emits IL during
construction, so a busy node could blow the budget on a perfectly valid
pattern. Warm-up now runs at construction and on every options reload. The
residual window between a reload and its warm-up is safe because that path
now fails closed.
Warm-up deliberately does not fail the boot — an unusable pattern degrades the
node to over-redaction (safe, loud) rather than refusing to start. Reading
CurrentValue happens inside the warm-up try so an options provider that throws
still surfaces via Apply's over-redact path, not the constructor
(OuterCatch_OptionsThrows_NeverLeaks_AllSensitiveFieldsOverRedacted).
Also de-flakes GrpcCentralTransportTests.DeadlineExceeded_IsNotRetriedOnThePeer,
which is how this was found. It black-holed node A behind a 300 ms deadline, but
on a saturated machine the call could fail to even START — a genuinely-unsent
failure that IsConnectFailure correctly fails over on, so node B's ack arrived
instead of the expected Status.Failure. The test read as a flake while actually
reporting that its own premise had not held. Split in two: the hard rule now
injects an explicit DeadlineExceeded via a trailers-only response (deterministic,
load-independent), and a new BlackHoledNode_DoesNotHang covers the
deadline-is-actually-applied half with both nodes black-holed so no ack can
arrive down any path.
Verified: both fixes were confirmed to fail before they pass — reverting the
fail-closed guard fails exactly the 5 fail-closed tests while the 4 controls
still pass, and adding DeadlineExceeded to IsConnectFailure fails the rewritten
transport test. AuditLog 367/367, Host.Tests GrpcCentralTransport 8/8, solution
build clean. The previously-intermittent
Filter_PicksUp_NewBodyRedactor_OnConfigReload is green in a full sweep for the
first time.
Not addressed here, and noted on #35: the 100 ms wall-clock budget remains a
weak proxy for catastrophic backtracking (RegexOptions.Compiled defers JIT to
first match, so construction time measures the wrong thing), and a rejection is
still cached permanently. Both are now safe rather than dangerous, so they are
hardening rather than a leak.
Applies the family-wide admin-UI cleanup playbook to the Central UI so the
Blazor surfaces stop diverging from the shared kit: buttons are grouped rather
than individually sized, long cell values are contained instead of widening
tables, and hard-coded colours give way to theme tokens.
The headline fix is that MainLayout passed Accent="#2f5fd0" to ThemeShell,
which the kit emits as an inline style on the shell root. Being a descendant of
<html>, it beat the [data-bs-theme="dark"] override for the entire app, so the
dark accent had never rendered. Declaring --accent in site.css :root instead
lets both schemes resolve; light is unchanged because the value already matched
the kit's light default.
Theme pins to 0.4.1, which upstreams the local .btn sizing block verbatim, so
that block is deleted here rather than duplicated. Verified byte-identical
before removal; the repo now declares no --bs-btn-* anywhere.
NOT purely cosmetic, contrary to the sweep's stated scope: four detail-modal
surfaces (NotificationReport, ConfigurationAuditLog, ParkedMessages,
SiteCallsReport) were additionally refactored from holding the selected record
to holding its id and re-resolving from the current page each render, with the
resolve doubling as the visibility gate. A background refresh that drops the
row now closes the modal instead of showing a stale snapshot. This is a
behaviour change and is called out rather than buried: a full-suite run turned
up one intermittent CentralUI failure, CloseButton_DismissesModal, whose stack
(GetRequiredEventBindingEntry during DispatchEventAsync) indicates the handler
was disposed between render and click — a window the previous field-held record
made structurally impossible. Treat the modal lifecycle here as unreviewed.
Build 0/0; suite green apart from that one intermittent failure.
deploy.sh's simultaneous recreate split site pairs twice on 2026-08-01 with
the guard off (mutual InitJoinNack, each node forming its own 1-node
cluster; a per-pair coin flip compose depends_on does not prevent). Guard
enabled on all 8 rig nodes: two consecutive simultaneous-start trials (full
redeploy + full-topology compose restart) converged all four pairs
deterministically — founder self-first on every lower address, peer-first
join on every higher, zero splits. This closes the deferred issue-acceptance
live gate; the switch stays default-off everywhere else.
Design doc and code travel together (CLAUDE.md editing rules), so this records
what the two preceding commits shipped and, more usefully, WHY the non-obvious
choices were made -- the parts a future reader would otherwise re-litigate:
- Component-SiteRuntime.md: the Alarms.CurrentAsync() runtime API entry (why
it is not scope-prefixed, why it is read-only, why placeholder rows are
included), the full ScriptAlarm shape, AckTime on the enriched
AlarmStateChanged, proto field 24, and the metadata_json-vs-new-column
persistence rationale (native_alarm_state is RegisterReplicated; LocalDb
builds its CDC triggers from the column list at registration time).
- Component-DataConnectionLayer.md already carried the AckTime section in the
first commit; this adds the SiteRuntime/ScriptAnalysis/InboundAPI halves.
- Component-ScriptAnalysis.md: accessors returning domain types return the
SAME type on both surfaces, and the trust-model note that a deny-list needs
no entry for a new globals member -- only that its return type resolves in
a permitted namespace.
- Component-InboundAPI.md records the NEGATIVE decision: there is
deliberately no Route.To(...).GetAlarms(...) verb. Alarm state is
per-instance and lives on the site's Instance Actor, so the read goes
through a routed site script and the filtering happens where the data is;
central stays a thin router.
- CLAUDE.md native-alarm bullet gains the enrichment + accessor summary.
- The plan's §7 Phase 1 rows are ticked with 2026-08-01 and annotated with
what was actually built (incl. the two choices that differ from the plan's
"or" options: a dedicated snapshot message rather than DebugSnapshotRequest,
and the extra SandboxScriptHost mirror the plan did not list). Phases 2-4
stay open -- they are deployed config and need a live rig.
MES alarm-status API §6.4 (docs/plans/2026-06-30-mes-alarm-status-api.md,
Phase 1 task 1). MES needs a real AckDT for a triggered alarm, and the mirror
carried acked-vs-unacked but never WHEN. AckTime now rides the whole path:
DCL transition -> AlarmStateChanged -> gRPC AlarmStateUpdate -> site SQLite.
Stamping rule, identical on both protocols: non-null ONLY while the condition
is active AND acknowledged. That single predicate yields all three required
behaviours -- null while unacked, cleared on re-raise (a re-raise arrives
unacknowledged), and no phantom ack on a return-to-normal. The last one is
load-bearing for MxGateway, which maps INACTIVE to Acknowledged = true; without
the active check every clear would claim an ack the system never observed.
Provenance is honest, never fabricated:
- OPC UA A&C supplies a TRUE ack instant, so we now select it:
AcknowledgeableConditionType/AckedState/TransitionTime at SelectClause
index 18, APPENDED so the positional reads at 0-17 keep their meaning.
Servers that omit the field fall back to the event's own Time.
- MxAccess Gateway supplies none, so the ack transition's own timestamp is
used -- accurate to when the system SAW the ack. An ACTIVE_ACKED
re-subscribe snapshot restores one from LastTransitionTimestamp rather
than dropping it.
The decision lives in pure mappers (Opc/Mx AlarmMapper.DeriveAckTime), so it is
unit-tested with no live server or gateway.
Additive-only throughout: init-only property on AlarmStateChanged, trailing
optional positional on NativeAlarmTransition (all 14-arg call sites untouched),
proto field 24 (never reusing a number) regenerated via docker/regen-proto.sh
sitestream with the csproj diff verified empty.
Persistence rides native_alarm_state's existing metadata_json blob rather than
a new column -- deliberately. That table is RegisterReplicated in
SiteLocalDbSetup and LocalDb builds its CDC triggers from the column list at
registration time, so an additive JSON property changes no schema, no triggers
and no replication contract; metadata_json is exactly the extension point UA4
introduced for this. Rows written before the field deserialize it as null.
Tests: 4 OPC UA + 6 MxGateway mapper cases, 3 NativeAlarmActor (emit,
failover rehydrate, pre-AckTime row), 1 proto round-trip incl. the null case,
4 Commons additive/back-compat. The OPC UA SelectClause count lock-in moves
18 -> 19 with an index-18 assertion -- intended, the clause is appended, which
is precisely what that guard exists to make visible.
TemplateEdit was the last page still hand-rolling its own modal chrome after
M10 — T34c only tokenized its backdrops. All four member-authoring forms
(Attribute, Alarm, Native Alarm Source, Script) now open through
IDialogService.ShowAsync, so the single DialogHost in MainLayout owns the
backdrop, focus trap, Escape and focus restoration.
Pattern copied from the already-migrated pages (MoveDataConnectionDialog +
Templates' Move/Rename dialogs): each body is its own component beside the page
taking a DialogContext<bool>, owning its form state, rendering validation and
server errors INLINE while staying open, and closing with Close(true) only once
the save succeeded — at which point the page reloads. An inline RenderFragment
would NOT have worked: DialogHost renders the captured fragment in its own tree,
so the page's StateHasChanged could never refresh it.
Persistence deliberately stayed on the page (it owns TemplateService, the
inherited-member rules, and the repository-direct native-source path) and is
reached through an OnSaveAsync delegate returning null on success or the message
to display. Behaviour preserved verbatim, including the List-attribute encode +
Decode round-trip check, the name/trigger-type read-only-on-edit rules, the
duplicate-native-source-name guard, and NormalizeExecutionTimeout.
TemplateScriptDialog keeps all four tab panels mounted (Monaco and the JSONJoy
island must not tear down on tab switch) and hosts the Test Run panel, which
needs the live unsaved editor buffer, so it injects ScriptAnalysisService
directly and cancels an in-flight run on dispose.
Extraction moved markup that three structural source-scanning tests pinned;
all three were repointed at the new files rather than weakened:
- TemplateNativeAlarmSourceEditorTests (+ a new test asserting the form is
host-mounted and the body renders no chrome of its own)
- AttributeListEditorTests (list-editor reveal now in the dialog body)
- TestRunWarningTests (Real I/O warning travelled with the script panel)
Build 0/0; CentralUI.Tests 973/973 green.
M5.4 T4 threaded a `parentExecutionId` parameter through
AlarmActor.SpawnAlarmExecution → AlarmExecutionActor → ScriptRuntimeContext,
but every call site passed null — so alarm on-trigger runs were silently always
execution-tree roots, contradicting the "tag-cascade coverage is complete"
claim in CLAUDE.md and Component-AuditLog.md.
Source the id where a spawner genuinely exists: a static attribute write issued
by a site script (`Instance.SetAttribute`) or by an inbound API request
(`Route.To(...).SetAttributes(...)`, whose ParentExecutionId was already carried
to the site and then dropped). The id rides site-locally through three additive,
nullable fields — no wire, proto or central schema change:
ScriptRuntimeContext.SetAttribute / RouteToSetAttributesRequest.ParentExecutionId
→ SetStaticAttributeCommand.SourceExecutionId
→ AttributeValueChanged.SourceExecutionId (InstanceActor static-write path)
→ AlarmActor.SpawnAlarmExecution → AlarmExecutionActor → ScriptRuntimeContext
All four computed trigger types participate. Expression triggers evaluate off
the dispatcher, so the writer of the newest value folded into the snapshot is
captured *with* the snapshot and echoed home on ExpressionEvalResult /
ExpressionEvalFailed — a change arriving mid-flight cannot mis-attribute the
raise.
Deliberately still roots (documented, not deferred): alarms fired by Data
Connection Layer values (external device data has no spawning execution — this
includes the device echo of a script write to a *data-sourced* attribute, so
only static writes cascade), and ScriptActor value-change/conditional/
expression/timer trigger runs (a timer tick has no spawner; a WhileTrue/interval
run has no single identifiable write).
Tests: new SiteRuntime.Tests/Actors/AlarmCascadeParentExecutionTests pins all
three hops — SetAttribute stamps the run's ExecutionId, InstanceActor publishes
it on the change (and publishes null when absent), and ValueMatch/HiLo/
Expression alarms parent the on-trigger run to the writer while a DCL-originated
change leaves it a root.
Docs: CLAUDE.md and Component-AuditLog.md corrected from "complete" to the true
behaviour; Component-SiteRuntime.md gains an "Audit correlation of an on-trigger
run" section with the hop table and the by-design root cases.
Two verified-absent parity gaps between the service layer and the CLI /
ManagementActor command surface, both left as follow-ups by the 2026-05-11
design plans.
(1) area move. AreaService.MoveAreaAsync had existed since the deployment
topology page shipped but was reachable only from the Blazor UI. Adds
MoveAreaCommand(AreaId, NewParentAreaId?) to Commons, a ManagementActor
dispatch arm delegating straight to AreaService.MoveAreaAsync (not-found /
self-parent / descendant-cycle / cross-site / name-collision all surface as
the standard curated ManagementCommandException failure response; the service
writes its own "Move" audit row), and the CLI verb `site area move --id
[--parent-id]`. Omitting --parent-id moves the area to the site root, matching
the command's nullable NewParentAreaId. The command carries the SAME any-of
[Designer, Deployer] gate as CreateArea/UpdateArea/DeleteArea (arch-review C6):
re-parenting is the same structural authoring act, exposed on the same two
surfaces. Placed under the existing `site area` group rather than a new
top-level `area` group, alongside its create/update/delete siblings.
(2) template folder verbs. The five folder management commands have been
handled by ManagementActor since the folder-hierarchy plan, but the promised
CLI surface was never written. Adds `template folder
list|create|rename|move|reorder|delete` mapping 1:1 onto ListTemplateFolders /
CreateTemplateFolder / RenameTemplateFolder / MoveTemplateFolder /
ReorderTemplateFolder / DeleteTemplateFolder. --parent-id is omitted to target
the tree root; --direction takes the lowercase literals up/down, validated at
parse time by AcceptOnlyFromAmong (same case-sensitive contract as the audit
--channel/--kind/--status options).
Follow-on updates: the frozen authorization matrix gains its MoveArea entry
(reflection-driven, so a missing entry would have failed CI); CommandTreeTests
pins both new verb sets plus the omit-parent-id-means-root parse behaviour and
registry round-trips; ManagementActorTests covers the MoveArea role gate and
the delegate-to-service success/root/cycle/not-found paths; the CLI README and
Component-ManagementService.md document the new surface (the latter also gained
the previously-undocumented ReorderTemplateFolder); both plan docs' follow-up
lines are marked done.
