Comment/XML-doc changes only, no code logic:
- strip project-tracking references (WP*, P*-*, row-NN, #NN, Task N) from
comments, keeping the explanatory rationale
- add missing summaries, <param>, <returns>, <typeparam> and <inheritdoc/>
- replace misused <inheritdoc/> with real docs; where <inheritdoc/> was
combined with useful remarks, move the rationale into // comments
- drop stale replicationActor <param> on DeploymentManagerActor ctor
Remaining 5 are false positives (CWE-1236 x2, failures-1, year-0001, M365).

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.
Phase 0 of the ClusterClient→gRPC migration
(docs/plans/2026-07-22-clusterclient-to-grpc-plan.md). Standalone hardening: it
closes a gap that exists today and is a precondition for moving command/control
onto gRPC in later phases.
T0.1 — delete the ManagementActor ClusterClientReceptionist registration.
It was built for an out-of-cluster CLI that was never written: the shipped CLI
speaks HTTP Basic to /management, which asks the actor in-process through
ManagementActorHolder. Nothing in the repo ever sent to /user/management. The
actor still runs there; only the cross-boundary advertisement is gone. Six
documents claimed the CLI used ClusterClient — including the CLI's own README
"Architecture Notes" — and are corrected here rather than left to rot.
T0.2 — record, do not port, the dead integration-routing path.
IntegrationCallRequest is unwired at BOTH ends: RouteIntegrationCallAsync has
zero callers anywhere, and RegisterLocalHandler(Integration, …) appears only in
a test, so production always answers "Integration handler not available". It is
excluded from the gRPC contract (28 of 29 commands migrate) rather than
enshrined on an additive-only wire format, and deleting it during a
transport migration would mix a behavioural change into a change whose whole
value is that behaviour is identical. See
docs/known-issues/2026-07-22-integration-call-routing-is-dead-code.md.
T0.3 — preshared-key authentication on SiteStreamService.
The service shipped with no auth at all: plaintext h2c, no interceptor, so
anything that could reach a site node's :8083 could open a live data stream or
read audit rows back via PullAuditEvents/PullSiteCalls. ControlPlaneAuthInterceptor
now gates /sitestream.SiteStreamService/ — modeled on LocalDbSyncAuthInterceptor
(constant-time compare, fail-closed, PermissionDenied) but gating a SET of
service prefixes so phases 1A/1B add services rather than interceptors. LocalDb
sync keeps its own separate key: it authenticates the pair partner, not central,
and collapsing the two would make a site's central-facing key also admit writes
into its database.
Keys are per site (SB-GRPC-PSK-<siteId>), never fleet-wide, so a compromised
site yields only its own. Central attaches them through ControlPlaneCredentials,
which binds CallCredentials to the channel — covering unary and streaming
uniformly, and letting the key resolve asynchronously, which a client
interceptor could not do without blocking. All three central→site channel
creation sites go through it (SiteStreamGrpcClient and both audit pull invokers);
the pull invokers' channel caches are re-keyed by (site, endpoint) because
credentials are per-site and bound to the channel.
Two decisions beyond the plan:
* StartupValidator now requires GrpcPsk on Site nodes. The plan specified only
the runtime gate, but fail-closed with no boot check produces a node that
joins, answers heartbeats and reports healthy while refusing every stream,
audit pull and telemetry ingest — silent and total. Same reasoning as the
existing inbound API-key pepper rule.
* Added Communication:SitePsks as a central-side key map. The plan assumed
central would read the store, seeded via a dev KEK; the docker rig
deliberately boots with no master key, so store-only resolution would leave
it unable to dial its own sites. The store stays primary — it is the only
source that can serve a site added at runtime — with the map covering
key-less hosts and one-off pins. Neither source falling back to
"unauthenticated" is the invariant.
T0.4 — dev keys on both rigs and tests.
34 tests. The seven that matter most exercise a real in-process gRPC stack over
TestServer: the unit tests on either side of the wire would both stay green if
the halves disagreed, and gRPC refuses call credentials on a plaintext channel
by default — the UnsafeUseInsecureChannelCallCredentials opt-in is only provable
by making a real call. They confirm correct key passes on unary AND streaming,
wrong key and no-credentials both get PermissionDenied, and an unresolvable key
fails the call with nothing reaching the service.
OPERATIONAL: a site node upgraded to this build without a key will not boot.
That includes the gitignored deploy/wonder-app-vd03/ overlay.
Adds the active-central-node, in-memory, reference-counted per-site live alarm
cache backing the operator Alarm Summary page. No persisted central alarm store
([PERM]) — no EF entity/table/migration/DbSet.
- ISiteAlarmLiveCache (new): singleton seam — Subscribe(siteId, onChanged) ->
IDisposable (ref-counted, linger stop on last-out), GetCurrentAlarms, IsLive.
- SiteAlarmAggregatorActor (new): one per site. Seed-then-stream ordering copied
from DebugStreamBridgeActor — open the site-wide alarm-only gRPC stream first,
buffer live deltas while the snapshot fan-out runs, flush with per-key dedup
(AlarmKey = InstanceUniqueName|AlarmName|SourceReference), then live pass-through
into an in-memory dict. Placeholder rows seeded from the snapshot and never
expected on the stream; a real-alarm delta (distinct key) never wipes them.
NodeA<->NodeB reconnect (retry budget + stability window), reconnect re-seeds,
periodic reconcile (authoritative clear-and-rebuild) corrects instance-set drift,
and a budget-exhausted stream self-heals on the next reconcile tick.
- SiteAlarmLiveCacheService (new): DI singleton facade — viewer reference-counting,
linger-delayed last-out stop (version + TryRemove(ref) race guards), the
snapshot fan-out seed (RequestDebugSnapshotAsync per Enabled instance, capped),
bounded start-retry self-heal on transient start failure, and the immutable
published-snapshot store the page reads. Cache mutated only on the actor thread;
viewer callbacks invoked outside the lock.
- CommunicationOptions: LiveAlarmCacheLinger (30s), LiveAlarmCacheReconcileInterval
(60s), LiveAlarmCacheSeedConcurrency (8), LiveAlarmCacheMaxSubscribersPerSite
(200). Task 6 formalizes eager validation + telemetry.
- DI registration + AkkaHostedService SetActorSystem wiring on the active central node.
- Tests: 14 actor (seed/stream ordering, dedup, native-alarm parity, placeholder
coherence, reconnect re-seed, reconcile replace, self-heal, stop) + 6 service
(shared start, linger stop, resubscribe cancels stop, idempotent dispose, unknown
site, transient-start self-heal). Code-reviewer pass: no persistence, no Critical;
both Important findings addressed.
